Experts have repeatedly mentioned that people with basic diseases should especially strengthen the protection against COVID-19. Many patients with diabetes worry about whether they will be more likely to be infected with COVID-19, and whether they will have a higher risk of serious disease after infection. How should diabetes patients resist COVID-19? Guo Lixin, director of endocrinology department of National Geriatrics Center, answered this question. Guo Lixin, director of the endocrinology department of the National Geriatrics Center of Beijing Hospital: diabetes patients with poor blood sugar control have a certain risk of infection, but if the blood sugar is well controlled and various metabolic indicators are well controlled, the resistance will be significantly enhanced, and the possibility of infection will be significantly reduced. For a patient with diabetes, how to get through such an epidemic is very important to control blood sugar well. There are two aspects here. The first is to stabilize the overall level of blood sugar, and the second is to reduce the fluctuation of blood sugar. The most important thing is to have a reasonable diet, follow the healthy diet for diabetes that doctors have given us in the past, and exercise properly. It is necessary to detect blood sugar at any time to keep blood sugar stable, and also pay attention to abnormal blood lipids, abnormal blood pressure and other metabolic abnormalities associated with diabetes, so as to enhance resistance and smooth through the epidemic.
