As of 18:00 on February 4, 2020, a total of 20,522 patients with novel coronavirus pneumonia have been diagnosed nationwide, with 426 deaths, most of whom are elderly, infirm, disabled and pregnant with low immunity, and diabetic patients are also included. Why are diabetic patients susceptible to novel coronavirus pneumonia? This is because diabetic patients are in a long-term hyperglycemic state making the plasma osmolality rise, which inhibits the phagocytic ability of white blood cells and leads to a decrease in the body’s resistance, which is perhaps the root cause of the susceptibility of diabetic patients. So during this special time, how should diabetic patients prevent and control? 1, first of all, we must take glucose-lowering drugs on time and in the right amount For diabetic patients, ensuring long-term and smooth control of blood sugar within the target range is the top priority. Not only that, sugar lovers also need to do a good job of comprehensive protection, reduce the opportunity to go out and pay attention to basic disinfection and isolation measures, which are the key to ensure that they are not infected by viruses. Taking medication on time to ensure blood sugar stability can also reduce the occurrence of complications, thus reducing the chances of infection with the virus. 2, regular monitoring of blood glucose In addition to taking hypoglycemic drugs, we also need to monitor blood glucose regularly, you can take notes to record the value of each measurement, once found abnormalities need to promptly report their primary care physician, do not take drugs indiscriminately. 3, avoid going out, reduce the chance of infection We all know that the new coronavirus can be transmitted through contact and droplet transmission and respiratory transmission, so a small handshake or cough can be infected. In this very period, we should reduce the chance of contact with the outside world, and if we need to chat with people, we should remember to wear a mask and be one meter away from each other. 4, choose a healthy lifestyle Sugar lovers should be especially careful of their blood sugar fluctuations, in this special period should not go out, so you can choose some indoor activities, such as walking, playing table tennis, etc.. The diet should ensure balanced nutrition and good work and rest habits, do not stay up late. In addition to these points, we also need to ensure a positive and optimistic attitude, do not panic. If you find yourself with suspected symptoms to report to the local health department and go to the designated hospital for timely consultation.
