Caution for diabetic patients in other illnesses

Diabetic is a disease in itself. If there is any other health problem, it becomes a "sore on the back".

My aunty had uncontrolled diabetes because she didn't want to follow any rules. When she got dengue, it became a big problem.

To live a healthy life, diabetic patients usually have to lead a controlled lifestyle and eat food at the right time. Even then, if these patients suffer from any other illness, such as fever, infection or diarrhea, vomiting, their blood sugar levels can fluctuate dangerously.

At this time, they are quite worried about taking medicine or insulin. Therefore, it is important to know - a diabetic patient what can eat in any other illness.

Experts say -

1. If you have a fever, you should eat plenty of liquid food or diet. Fever causes dehydration, which increases the density of the blood of diabetic patients. At this time, you can drink milk, fruit juice, ghee, barley, chicken soup, vegetable soup, lemon-salt water, lemon-tea, etc.

Apart from this, you can choose semi-solid foods like milk rice, porridge, flattened rice , porridge, milk sago. You can eat thin semolina, noodle soup, and hotchpotch made by crushing fish and meat. If you cannot eat a lot at once, you can eat small portions every two hours. There should be some carbohydrates in the food.

2. In case of diarrhea, rice saline is better than other saline for diabetic patients. Boil rice powder at home in a liquid state and give it repeatedly with a little salt. Apart from this, barley rice, thin fish broth, ripe and raw bananas, gourd, raw papaya or pumpkin broth are good diets.

During diarrhea or vomiting, it is better not to eat oily and spicy foods, milk and dairy products. Soaked chira, banana, muri, sago, barley can be eaten.

3. If vomiting occurs after a meal, vomiting medicine or intravenous saline can be given on the advice of a doctor. Because if a diabetic patient cannot eat, he quickly becomes weak, his blood sugar can drop and he may become unconscious. Egg whites, coconut water are quite beneficial.

4. If you are sick, you cannot stop all medicines or insulin. However, the dose may need to be changed. So take the advice of a doctor.

Burning sensation in diabetic patients -

Medicine and diabetes experts say - Diabetes is a long-term disease that gradually damages various organs of the body, for which this disease can be called a disease of 'slow poisoning'.

The nerves of the hands and feet are one of the organs that are often attacked by diabetes. As a result, various autoimmune problems occur. Burning, tingling, numbness, tingling, pins and needles, abnormal sensations, etc. are symptoms of such a problem. The name of this problem is diabetic neuropathy. This problem gradually spreads from the bottom of the hand or foot to the top. And its tendency increases at night.

Apart from this, the hands and feet become cold due to reduced blood circulation in the feet. The skin color changes. The leg muscles start to ache even after walking a little. When the muscles dry up, it becomes weak to get up and sit down. Balance seems to be less.

Due to autonomic neuropathy, blood pressure drops and dizziness occurs when you stand up suddenly. Sometimes, due to damage to a specific nerve or nerves, one side of the face bends or the eyelids droop or the wrists tingle. 

Diabetic neuropathy is a painful problem. Patients often cannot sleep at night due to burning and tingling. Apart from this, patients with nerve problems are more likely to have foot wounds, infections, etc. To get rid of this, know what to do - 

1. Blood sugar should be kept well controlled. This is a complication of uncontrolled diabetes, so if sugar is not controlled, it will not be solved.
