As the infection rate of the new coronavirus gradually increases, everyone is infected with new coronavirus , and more and more people are beginning to recover.

Everyone has seen that being infected with COVID-19 is not as scary as you thought. Symptoms usually get better in 3-7 days, and there are basically no serious cases.

Therefore, self-protection has begun to relax, and it is more common for one person to infect the whole family, which will lead to many elderly people with underlying diseases also becoming infected.

In fact, the new coronavirus is very unfriendly to the elderly with underlying diseases or people with chronic diseases. It can easily cause the underlying diseases to worsen or develop new complications, which poses a great threat to health. In particular, the more common underlying disease diabetes in my country is one of the people who are prone to complications after being infected with the new coronavirus.

Will infection with COVID-19 lead to increased blood sugar or worsening of diabetes?

Experts said: Diabetic patients may experience elevated blood sugar levels after being infected with the new coronavirus, and in severe cases, complications may occur. Because the receptor ace2 of the new coronavirus exists in the pancreatic microvessels and pancreatic beta cells of the human body, the invasion of the new coronavirus may cause pancreatic damage, which in turn affects the production of insulin ; in addition, there may be an inflammatory reaction after infection, which may also cause insulin resistance and other conditions, and finally lead to abnormal symptoms such as elevated blood sugar in diabetics.

After being infected with the new coronavirus, do these things to effectively prevent the rise in blood sugar.

. Monitor blood sugar every day, especially fasting blood sugar and postprandial blood sugar.

. If the symptoms of COVID-19 are severe, medication can be used as appropriate, but you should drink more water and urinate more to help kidneys detoxify.

3. Arrange your diet reasonably. Some people will lose their sense of taste after being infected with the new coronavirus, and their food may be tasteless. Do not eat foods that are too spicy or have strong taste, so as not to affect the rise of blood sugar.

4. Sugar-control drugs cannot be stopped. If there is a conflict between COVID-19 medication and sugar-control drugs, you can follow the doctor's instructions and do not use the drugs without authorization.

5. When blood sugar rises seriously or other serious discomfort symptoms occur, you should go to the hospital in time, especially the elderly.

The above is about the impact of the new coronavirus on diabetics and the precautions after infection. I hope that people with diabetes can get out of the positive circle smoothly, quickly and safely after being infected with the new coronavirus.
