  The 2008 Beijing Olympic Games are about to kick off, and people all over the world are celebrating together, and people are in a very excited mood, expecting the Olympic athletes to fight hard and win the glory for their country. People all over the world cheered for the Olympic athletes through various forms. Among them there are many frail and cardiovascular risk people, who will face a great test of life.  Since it is a test, it means fighting with the disease, of course, we should fully understand the status of our own condition, including whether the target value of blood sugar control is ideal, blood sugar and blood pressure after the load, it is better to go to the hospital for a systematic physical examination, to seek the doctor’s advice, to evaluate their own blood sugar, blood pressure, heart condition, to develop an effective treatment plan, to reduce all risk factors to a minimum. This way you may have the opportunity to listen and watch the Olympics.  We all know that people at high cardiovascular risk need to approach life with a calm mind, and the most important thing is to avoid intense emotional changes, which can also be fatal. However, some patients have a paranoid personality, and with the ever-changing nature of the situation at the games, their own blood pressure, blood sugar and heart rate can change drastically as their hearts move. Therefore, we must advise the patient, first of all, not to cheer for the field, do not be giddy and forgetful about our victory; do not sulk and beat your chest about the loss of the field. Always keep a calm mind towards the Olympics and correctly understand the Olympic spirit. Avoid the occurrence of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents caused by stress.  During the Olympic Games, people with high cardiovascular risk should be strictly observed so that blood pressure is kept below 130/
80mmHg or less, and if combined with diabetes, blood pressure management should be strengthened. Blood glucose must be controlled within the target range, and if it is poorly controlled, measures such as the combination of glucose-lowering drugs or the use of insulin can be used, but it must be done under the guidance of a doctor. It is also important to emphasize that blood pressure reduction and sugar should be moderate, once excessive will lead to hypoglycemic reaction as well as the occurrence of strokes.  Watching, pay attention to maintain a good lifestyle, do not celebrate because too excited and raise a glass, and do not lose the game mood frustration and smoke to relieve boredom. To adhere to moderate physical exercise, increase the intake of vegetables and fruits. Diabetic patients can appropriate some vegetables and fruits with low sugar content and high fiber content. Do not consume large amounts of nuts (such as peanuts and melon seeds) and foods with high sugar content (such as grapes and lychees) while watching the program.  In addition, do not watch the game alone, even at home watching the program should be accompanied by family members,. At the same time, prepare some common emergency drugs (such as quick-acting heart pills, nitroglycerin), in the event of abnormalities in time to use. If physical conditions really do not allow, please avoid, everything is health-oriented.
