In the heat of summer, some diseases are exacerbated, and although diabetes is not one of them, diabetics are still advised to follow some recommendations in the summer to help them stay healthy and avoid serious complications..

Drink more water Lack of fluid in the body can lead to severe dehydration in summer. Diabetics are more at risk of becoming dehydrated due to high blood glucose levels. Together with gastroenteritis, which is observed in patients with diabetes due to weak immunity, this threatens with serious problems.. It is recommended to drink at least two to three liters of water every day.

Avoid Soda Some people don't realize that sugary sodas are high in calories and, worse, high in sugar or unhealthy sweeteners.. For diabetics, as well as for everyone who cares about their health, such drinks are contraindicated..

Try not to go outside during the day In extreme heat from 11 am to 3 pm, it is better not to leave the premises. This is especially true for diabetics who suffer from skin problems.. Skin damaged by an infection or allergic reaction can become inflamed when exposed to sunlight, and such inflammation in diabetics is notoriously difficult to treat..

In addition, if you spend a lot of time in the sun, it will contribute to dehydration..

Check your eyes regularly Many diabetic patients will eventually develop conditions such as diabetic retinopathy or glaucoma. It is recommended that diabetics have their eyes checked regularly in order to detect the problem in time and start timely treatment..

Control your blood sugar Regardless of the time of year, control of your blood sugar is especially important for patients with diabetes.. Even during the holidays, do not forget to regularly measure your blood glucose levels and stick to a healthy diet..
