When the weather turns cold, it is necessary to prevent lung infection and keep warm.

The weather is getting colder. Did the sugar friends add clothes? If you don't add clothes in time, it's easy to catch a cold and even get a lung infection, which is what we often call diabetes complicated with lung infection.

When it comes to diabetes complicated with infection, many people will directly think of "foot infection". In fact, diabetic patients need to prevent many infections, and pulmonary infection is a serious complication that diabetic patients should be highly alert to. It accounts for about 45% of diabetes complicated with infection. Generally speaking, lung infection is pneumonia, which is a serious disease and will lead to the death of patients.

According to the data released by the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, the death risk of diabetic patients infected with pneumonia is three times that of non-diabetic patients.

Mainly lies in the following two points:

1, hyperglycemia can inhibit the function of neutrophil and monocyte-macrophage system, and make the body's ability to remove pathogenic microorganisms decline. At the same time, because the hyperglycemia environment in the body is more conducive to the reproduction and growth of pathogenic bacteria, when the human body is in a state of hyperglycemia, the immune function of the body will decline and lung infection will easily occur.

2. Diabetes patients are mostly middle-aged and elderly people. Because their lung tissues are gradually aging, diabetics are prone to metabolic disorders of sugar, fat and protein, and nutritional imbalance affects lung function, so they are more prone to lung infection.

2. Diabetic people often cough and expectorate to prevent sputum from staying in bronchioles and bronchioles and becoming a hotbed for bacteria or viruses to breed.

3, regular monitoring of blood sugar, early detection of hyperglycemia.

1, strengthen blood sugar control: lowering blood sugar is the primary measure. Hyperglycemia is an important factor leading to the decline of immune function. The infection rate of people with hyperglycemia will also increase.

2. Improve nutritional status: Diabetes patients have disorders of glucose, protein and fat metabolism. Especially the decrease of protein, will easily lead to the decline of immune function. It is very important to pay attention to the reasonable collocation of the three nutrients.

3. Some patients with pulmonary infection have hidden onset and atypical symptoms, which makes diagnosis difficult and delays the best time for treatment. When common cold symptoms appear, we should strengthen the observation of our own blood sugar and various physical conditions. If the symptoms persist and there is no sign of improvement, you should see a diabetes expert in time.
