Essential Tips to Manage Diabetes During Monsoon
1. Monitor Blood Sugar Levels Regularly
Keep a detailed record especially of fluctuations. This will help you and your healthcare provider adjust medications or insulin dosages if necessary.
2. Maintain a Healthy Diet
The monsoon season often brings cravings for fried and spicy foods. Stick to a reasonably balanced diet rich in vegetables, fruits, whole grains, and lean proteins.
Exercise Safely
While regular physical activity is crucial for managing diabetes, the monsoon season can make outdoor exercise challenging.
Foot Care is Crucial
Wet and damp conditions, increase the risk of foot infections. People with diabetes need to take extra care of their feet to prevent complications.
Here are some foot care tips:
Keep Feet Dry:
- Always dry your feet thoroughly, especially between the toes.
Protect Against Infections
The monsoon season is known for an increase in infections, including fungal infections, cold, and flu. Individuals with diabetes are more susceptible to these infections due to a weakened immune system.
Medication and Insulin Storage
Humidity and temperature changes during the monsoon season can affect the efficacy of your medications and insulin.
Regular Health Check-ups
