Diabetes Management during Monsoon: As soon as the rainy season knocks, everyone’s face glows a different glow. The greenery, cold winds and soil fragrance all around make this season very relaxed. But while this season brings romance and relief, for some people it can also become a cause of disaster, especially for people struggling with diabetes.
The immunity of sugar patients is a bit weak and it becomes even more challenging during the rainy season. High humidity, sudden temperature fluctuations, food negligence and lack of hygiene become a major threat to the health of diabetic people in this season. If care is not taken in time, the blood sugar level can be unbalanced and can also emerge infections, delays in wound healing, skin disease and digestive problems. So if you or you have a sugar patient in your house, then it is necessary to avoid some special things. Here we are telling that during the rainy season, diabetes patients should not do 7 such works, otherwise small negligence can become a big disaster.
1. Staying in wet clothes after getting wet
It is common to get wet suddenly in the rain, but it is not ordinary for sugar patients at all. The body’s healing capacity is already weak due to diabetes and if you stay in wet clothes for a long time, it can cause skin infection, fungal infection or even leg wounds, which do not heal quickly. In such a situation, if you get wet in the rain, then immediately wear dry and clean clothes, dry the feet well and take a bath with warm water and keep the body temperature in balance.
2. Overting or Consumption of sweet foods
During the rainy season, frustrated dishes and sweet dishes like jalebi, samosas, pakoras and tea are liked. But this taste may be heavy for diabetic patients. Foods contain high carb and sugar content which can increase blood sugar rapidly. Instead, take fiber -containing snacks with low glycemic index such as roasted gram, moong dal chila or oats upma, and herbal tea.
3. To ignore the cleaning of the feet
Diabetes patients often have problems with swelling, wounds or numbness in the feet. Moisture and dirt in the monsoon increases the chances of fungal infection and ulcers in the feet manifold. So before sleeping every day, wash and dry the feet thoroughly, use anti-fungal powder if needed, and do not ignore any kind of scratch or wound in the feet at all. It is very important to check the feet regularly.
4. Taking hydration lightly
In the rainy season, thirst is less due to coolness and we often forget to drink water. But dehydration can become a major problem in diabetes, which can cause blood sugar level to become unbalanced. Therefore, it is important that you drink 2.5-3 liters of water throughout the day, whether thirsty or not. Also, keep the body hydrated with plain water, coconut water and herbal drinks.
5. Understanding infection as modest
Viral, fungal and bacterial infections are very common in the monsoon. But this common infection can also take dangerous form for diabetes patients. If you feel something like fever, wound, itching on the skin, rashes or weakness, then consult a doctor immediately. Keep checking your blood sugar level regularly and consume medicines on time. Be sure to consult a doctor before any kind of self -medication or home remedy.
6. Distance from physical activity
As soon as the rain comes, the gym or park stops, and the physical activity decreases. But this can be very dangerous for diabetic patients as workouts are the most effective way to keep blood sugar under control. If you cannot go out, include yoga, walking, sterery climbing or online exercise classes at home in your routine. Staying active is even more important in this season.
7. Keep avoiding health checkups
Diabetes is a disease that affects inside and the rainy season can trigger it. Therefore, it is very important to do sugar level, blood pressure, urine, foot health and eye checkup from time to time. No symptoms are small, caution is safety.
