In recent years, with the concept of "healthy living" deeply rooted in the hearts of the people, more and more people have begun to pay attention to the positive impact of exercise on physical health. For diabetic patients, exercise is an important means. However, exercise is good, but not all cases are suitable for diabetics. In the following six situations, diabetic patients should remember not to exercise to avoid life-threatening conditions.
First of all, diabetic patients with severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases should not do strenuous exercise. Because cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases may cause aggravated cardiac workload or cardiac arrest, strenuous exercise will further increase the workload on the heart and even cause life-threatening. Diabetic patients are advised to do moderate aerobic exercise, such as walking, jogging, etc., and avoid high-intensity exercise.
Second, for diabetic patients with symptoms of infection, exercise may worsen the infection. During the infection of the disease, the body's resistance is reduced, and excessive exercise will lead to fatigue and weakened immunity, which in turn prolongs the course of the infection. Diabetic patients are advised to gradually resume exercise after the infection has recovered.
Third, for diabetic patients with a significant hypoglycemic tendency, exercise may trigger a hypoglycemic crisis. Hypoglycemia is a common complication in the process of diabetes**, and if patients exercise in a hypoglycemic state, it will exacerbate the symptoms of hypoglycemia and even lead to coma and even death. Diabetics are advised to ensure that their blood sugar levels are normal before exercising and replenish them in time during exercise.
Fourth, in patients with diabetes who have severe hypertension, exercise may exacerbate the elevated blood pressure. Hypertension is one of the common complications of diabetic patients, and excessive exercise will cause blood pressure to rise too quickly, causing many cardiovascular and cerebrovascular problems. Diabetic patients are advised to control the intensity and frequency of exercise and avoid excessively intense exercise.
Fifth, patients with diabetes mellitus and significant renal impairment should not exercise. Diabetic patients with renal impairment have decreased renal excretion function, and excessive exercise will increase the burden on the kidneys and aggravate the renal impairment. It is recommended that diabetic patients choose moderate exercise methods, such as tai chi, qigong, etc., to avoid excessive exercise.
Finally, strenuous exercise should be avoided in patients with diabetes mellitus and severe ocular lesions. Severe eye lesions can lead to vision loss and even blindness, and accidents can easily lead to danger when exercising. Diabetic patients are advised to choose exercises that do not put a large load on the eyes, such as yoga, brisk walking, etc.
In summary, although exercise has a positive impact on the health of people with diabetes, it is not always suitable for people with diabetes. Diabetic patients need to choose the appropriate exercise mode and exercise intensity according to their own conditions, and do not blindly engage in strenuous exercise, so as not to endanger their lives.
