1, don’t take a shower on an empty stomach. Many people like to wake up early in the morning to take a shower, because this can make their whole day are refreshed and glowing. But bathing on an empty stomach, especially a long hot bath, prone to hypoglycemia, serious cases may appear coma. Nanjing Chest Hospital Respiratory Department Li Tian 2, the water temperature is not too high Bath to pay attention to the water temperature, the appropriate water temperature can accelerate the body’s metabolism, regulate the body to make the body excited. The water temperature is too high, but because the body’s energy consumption, hypoglycemia, and even increase the burden on the heart and cause fatigue. In addition, diabetic patients are prone to complications of peripheral neuropathy, hyperalgesia, such as water temperature is too high, may cause burns and do not know. And long-term bathing with high-temperature water will also reduce the body’s resistance. Therefore, the water temperature control within 40 ℃ is appropriate. 3, time control within 20 minutes. A Japanese scholar tested the relief of fatigue substance – lactic acid in the blood after bathing in warm water for 5 minutes, 10 minutes and 15 minutes respectively, and found that: 15 minutes after bathing has returned to the level of lactic acid in the blood when almost no fatigue is felt. Therefore, it is recommended that the bathing time is generally 10 to 15 minutes, the longest not more than 20 minutes. 4, bathing should not be too diligent. Diabetic patients because of plant nervous disorders, skin sweat secretion is reduced, the skin more dry and cause itching; especially after a hot bath, making the skin surface oil less, thus causing dry and rough skin, aggravating the itching symptoms. So bathing should not be too diligent, summer sweating can be 1 to 2 days to wash once, other seasons according to their own circumstances, once a week in winter can be. Because bathing too often in addition to dry itchy skin may cause, but also reduce skin resistance, increasing the risk of skin lesions. 5, it is advisable to use a bath suitable for dry skin bathing solution or containing carbolic acid medicinal soap. As most diabetic patients are older, the skin has a lower water content and is dry skin, so it is advisable to use a bath suitable for dry skin bath or soap containing carbolic acid. But do not use too thick, rub out too much foam, so as not to cause skin irritation. If the skin does not feel so dry in summer, it is not necessary, depending on their own situation. Do not use alkaline bath products. The use of alkaline bath products such as soap can damage the sebaceous glands and aggravate the dry skin condition of diabetic patients. After bathing, you can apply a mild body wash to avoid dry skin. Also check all parts of the body for breaks and burns. If there is, please seek medical attention in time to avoid infection. 6, do not use nylon bath towels. Because the nylon scrubbing towel hard and rough surface will directly damage the skin, so that too much epidermal keratinization layer is rubbed off, the protective effect is weakened. In addition, many people like to scrub the skin with scrubbing towels in the shower, think so as to wash off the dirty skin, and regard it as a good habit of hygiene. In fact, from the physiological point of view of the skin, this is not only not hygienic, and harmful to the skin. Because the surface of the skin is composed of keratinocytes of the stratum corneum, the stratum corneum and its surface sebum and water emulsification formed by the sebaceous film together constitute the most surface of the skin barrier protection layer. If the stratum corneum is removed, the loss of human moisture will greatly increase, the skin is more likely to dry. 7, not immediately after the exercise shower. A hot bath immediately after exercise will cause insufficient blood supply to the heart and brain, easy to make people in a state of oxygen deprivation, the light will lead to mental lucidity, dizziness; heavy deficiency shock. Therefore, after exercise to rest for a period of time before you can take a bath.
