Some sugar friends may have backache, weakness, calf cramps and other discomforts after several years of illness, which needs attention. It is found that diabetic patients, especially type 1 sugar friends, are more likely to lose calcium ions than ordinary people because of insulin metabolism disorder.

for diabetic patients, once a fracture occurs, not only the wound healing is much slower than that of non-diabetic people, but also the risk of serious infection is significantly increased. Moreover, with the evolution of the course of diabetes and the increase of patients' age and the decline of islet function, diabetic patients are more prone to calcium deficiency.

Why do diabetics suffer from calcium deficiency? First, due to the high blood sugar and large urine volume of diabetic patients, the kidney excretes too much glucose, and at the same time, the excess rate of calcium ions increases, resulting in a large amount of calcium excreted with urine. Second, when calcium is lost, phosphorus and magnesium in bones are also lost, which increases the risk of osteoporosis.

If diabetics supplement calcium, they generally advocate taking as much as possible from food (such as lean meat, fish, dried shrimps, bean products, dairy products, etc.), and the best way is to drink milk. Milk is rich in protein, vitamins, various amino acids necessary for human body, and rich in calcium, phosphorus and minerals, and the proportion of calcium and phosphorus is appropriate, which is beneficial to absorption.

In addition, milk is a food with low glycemic index, which raises blood sugar slowly and steadily after drinking, so it is very suitable for diabetic patients. Pasteurized milk is the first choice for sugar lovers to drink milk, because it has a short shelf life and the least additives or preservatives. Secondly, adults can choose skim milk or low-fat milk, which has low fat content and low calorie, and the blood sugar is not obvious.
