These points should be noted | Exercise is a good medicine, exercise for diabetic patients
At present, the situation of prevention and treatment of chronic diseases in my country is complex. The prevalence of chronic diseases among people aged 55 to 64 reaches 48.4%, and the prevalence rate among people aged 65 and above reaches 62.3%. The concept of "Exercise is a good doctor" organically combines exercise therapy with medication treatment, which not only can more effectively manage diseases, but also significantly improve patients 'quality of life.
Diabetic patients should pay attention to monitoring blood sugar before and after exercise, and avoid strenuous exercise when blood sugar is not under control. Type 1 diabetic patients with fasting blood sugar exceeding 13.8 mmol/l or positive urine ketone bodies should be aware that hyperglycemia may occur during exercise. On the contrary, people who inject insulin or take oral hypoglycemic drugs are more likely to have hypoglycemia. If the amount of exercise is large, they should supplement energy or reduce the amount of insulin.
Diabetic patients should wear appropriate sports shoes and clothing when exercising, choose a suitable exercise environment, warm up and relax for 5 minutes before and after exercise, and drink water after exercise. Diabetic patients with severe complications, such as heart failure, severe diabetic nephropathy or retinopathy, should carefully choose the exercise method and intensity.
