People with diabetes can supplement calcium by eating high-calcium foods and taking calcium tablets. At the same time, they should also spend more time in the sun to promote calcium absorption.
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia. When the patient's blood sugar concentration is high and the kidneys excrete too much glucose, the filtration rate of calcium ions also increases. Long-term calcium deficiency in the body will lead to osteoporosis. Therefore, for diabetics who are deficient in calcium, they should eat more high-calcium foods, such as milk, eggs, beef, etc. If dietary calcium supplementation is not effective, diabetics can also take calcium tablets, such as calcium carbonate, calcium citrate, etc., regularly under the guidance of a doctor. At the same time, it is recommended that people with diabetes should spend more time in the sun, which can promote the synthesis of vitamin D3 in the body and help calcium absorption in the intestines.
When taking calcium supplements, diabetic patients should still pay attention to reasonable diet control and try to avoid eating high-sugar and high-calorie foods. At the same time, they should maintain a good daily routine, engage in moderate physical activity, and regularly monitor blood sugar levels.
In addition, diabetic patients should pay attention to maintaining good eating habits, engaging in reasonable and regular exercise, and strictly following doctor's instructions on taking medications. The details are as follows:
1. Maintain good eating habits: Diabetic patients should develop a good eating plan, reasonably calculate the total energy intake every day, avoid excessive energy intake, and eat regularly and at regular intervals. Eat in small quantities and avoid overeating. You can choose low-sugar vegetables and fruits appropriately, such as kiwi, blueberry, lettuce, etc. For meat, you can choose fish, chicken, beef, etc., and try to avoid drinking and smoking.
2. Carry out reasonable and regular exercise: It is recommended that diabetic patients do appropriate aerobic exercise one hour after meals, such as cycling, brisk walking, badminton, etc., and try to keep the exercise time at 200~ 300 minutes. At the same time, avoid overly strenuous physical exercise to avoid hypoglycemia during exercise. Pay attention to hydration during exercise, and the intensity of exercise needs to be gradual.
3. Strictly follow the doctor’s instructions when taking medications: Diabetic patients need to strictly follow the doctor’s instructions and use medications to control blood sugar. At the same time, the time and dosage of each medication should be relatively fixed, and the dosage of the medication should not be changed blindly or missed doses. And regularly monitor blood sugar levels and changing trends to provide a basis for subsequent medication.
