Why do diabetics have high blood sugar in winter?
In winter, in the absence of obvious infection, poor sleep, major mood swings, etc., many diabetic patients go to the endocrinology department of the hospital for follow-up consultation and find that their normally well-controlled blood sugar suddenly rises. What is the reason for this?

Because cold will stimulate sympathetic nerve excitement, increase the secretion of catecholamines in the body and increase blood sugar, especially when it becomes cold suddenly, blood sugar and blood pressure will increase more obviously, which is prone to myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction and cerebral hemorrhage; secondly, people's appetite in winter A large increase. In order to ward off the cold, eating more greasy and thick-flavored food every day, coupled with the cold outside, and reducing outdoor exercise can unknowingly increase blood sugar;

Thirdly, if people with diabetic vascular and neuropathy have local blood circulation disorders in the feet, local numbness, and dry and chapped skin in winter, bacteria can easily invade and develop into foot ulcers, which can increase blood sugar.

Take the following measures to prevent blood sugar spikes in winter:

1. Pay attention to diet control, especially staple foods. Avoid sweet pastries. If you feel hungry but your blood sugar is not low, you can add non-staple foods such as soy products, dairy, etc., and eat more fresh vegetables.

2. Pay attention to appropriate exercise. People with high blood pressure in winter should not get up too early in the morning and exercise outdoors to prevent cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. It is better to exercise outdoors one hour after breakfast and dinner. The amount and time of exercise should be determined under the guidance of a specialist.

3. Prevent influenza, which not only increases blood sugar, but also leads to the occurrence or aggravation of other complications. If infection occurs, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to avoid worsening of the condition.

4. Pay attention to keeping warm from the cold and protecting your feet. At the same time, keep your mood stable, monitor your blood sugar regularly and contact your doctor frequently.
