What is the impact of climate change on diabetes?

The secretion of adrenaline in human body is increased by the influence of weather changes, such as rain and snow, sudden rise and fall of temperature, etc., which leads to the decrease of glucose intake in blood by muscles. Because of the absolute or relative shortage of insulin, the antagonism between insulin and adrenaline in diabetic patients is weakened, which can lead to the increase of blood sugar and the aggravation of the disease. Especially in winter, the weather suddenly turns cold, and the condition of diabetes is often difficult to control. At this time, we should pay attention to increasing the dosage of insulin or oral hypoglycemic drugs in time, or reducing the amount of staple food in time. Of course, in the cold weather for a period of time, the body will gradually adapt, and the condition can generally gradually stabilize. But in general, diabetes is more difficult to control in winter than in summer.
