Will blood sugar change with the seasons?

The change of human blood sugar is closely related to the seasons. Hypoglycemia is more likely to occur in summer. Hypoglycemia is one of the main risk factors for cardiovascular prognosis of diabetes mellitus, which will increase the mortality of patients with myocardial infarction.

In summer, the daytime becomes longer, the sleep is less, the activity is more, the heat consumption of human body increases, and the blood sugar consumption increases; When the weather is hot, people generally lose their appetite and reduce their sugar intake, which leads to an increase in the incidence of hypoglycemia. Therefore, diabetic patients should never lower their blood sugar too low in summer, otherwise it will easily induce angina pectoris and ischemic cerebrovascular disease.

Fasting blood glucose should be controlled at 6~8 mmol/L in summer and 8~ 10 mmol/L after meals. Hot weather is easy to make people feel irritable, and emotion is also a high risk factor for cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Therefore, we should work and rest regularly in summer to avoid overwork.

A normal human body needs a lot of sugar every day to provide energy and power for the normal operation of various tissues and organs. Therefore, blood sugar must be maintained at a certain level to maintain the needs of various organs and tissues in the body. The production and utilization of blood sugar in normal people are in a state of dynamic balance and remain at a relatively stable level, because the sources and ways of blood sugar are roughly the same.

Dietary factors

1, Fruit: People with high blood sugar should eat less or not eat fruit. Because fruit contains more carbohydrates, mainly glucose, sucrose and starch. Fast digestion and absorption after meals will quickly lead to an increase in blood sugar, which is not good for people with high blood sugar. Therefore, people with high blood sugar generally should not eat more fruits.

2. Staple food: In our daily life, the staple food is mainly rice and flour, but for people with high blood sugar, it is suggested to "simple tea and light rice", that is, when choosing staple food, it is best to give priority to oats, cereal and corn flour, and you can drink some tea at ordinary times, which can play a better therapeutic effect.

3. protein food: For people with hyperglycemia, protein should be supplemented appropriately in daily life, but attention should be paid to the source of protein. It is best to choose soybeans and their products. Protein contained in soybean is not only of good quality, but also contains no cholesterol, so it has a good hypoglycemic effect.

4 low-sugar vegetables: people with high blood sugar must pay attention to controlling calories in their daily diet. If you still feel hungry on this basis, you might as well eat some vegetables with less sugar content and add some seasoning after boiling. Low-sugar vegetables are not only rich in dietary fiber, but also contain a lot of water, which has the characteristics of low thermal energy and strong satiety, and is a necessary food for people with high blood sugar.

5. Cucumber: For people with high blood sugar, cucumber is also a good choice. It is found that the sugar content in cucumber is only 1.6%, which is the most commonly used food substitute for many diabetic patients. Moreover, cucumber is rich in vitamin C, carotene, cellulose and minerals, and can also achieve the effect of clearing away heat and quenching thirst when eaten in hot weather.
