The appropriate time for outdoor exercise is after breakfast, after the sun comes out. Warm up to prevent burns When it is cold, the elderly are prone to cold hands and feet, many people choose to warm water bags, hand warmers and so on.

Move more and eat less to control sugar Sugar lovers tend to have higher blood sugar levels in winter than in other seasons, which is related to factors such as lower temperatures triggering lower metabolism and less activity in the body. If blood sugar is slightly higher, you can increase the amount of indoor exercise (walking or limb exercises) or reduce the amount of meals appropriately, such as eating half a tael less for dinner. If this is still difficult to control blood sugar, the amount of sugar-lowering medication can be adjusted under the guidance of a doctor. Measure blood glucose when the weather changes Winter temperature often changes a lot, and the wind can easily drop the temperature by more than 10 degrees Celsius. For the majority of sugar lovers, such changes are likely to bring blood sugar fluctuations. Therefore, experts suggest that when there are sudden changes in temperature or lifestyle adjustments, such as increased exercise and reduced meals, it is important to monitor blood sugar closely to keep track of changes in the condition. Cold and flu prevention should be kept in mind Cold and flu is an important factor in aggravating diabetes, especially in older patients, and a seemingly non-serious cold and flu may make the condition take a sharp turn for the worse.
