Exercise After-Care: Beware of Unintentional Setbacks

 China’s Guidelines for the Prevention and Treatment of Type 2 Diabetes (2017 Edition) states that type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease. As the disease progresses, blood sugar tends to gradually increase, and the intensity of treatment to control hyperglycemia should also be strengthened, often requiring a combination of multiple methods. Lifestyle intervention is the basic treatment measure for type 2 diabetes and should be implemented throughout the treatment of diabetes. Studies have also shown that diabetic patients who insist on regular exercise for 12 to 14 years have a significantly reduced mortality rate.


Regular exercise has many benefits. It can help diabetic patients improve insulin sensitivity and skeletal muscle function, improve fat and protein metabolism, prevent and treat diabetic complications, and improve their mental state. However, this does not mean that as long as you exercise, there are benefits, and exercise is not without taboos. If you don't pay attention and do it wrong, it may even be harmful to your body. Especially right after exercise, it is best not to do the following things immediately, otherwise you may be self-defeating!

1. When exercise ends, do not stop exercising immediately. When the exercise is about to end, you should do 5 to 10 minutes of recovery exercises, and gradually reduce the heart rate to the pre-exercise level. Do not stop exercising suddenly.

2. Do not take a cold bath immediately. You can rest for a period of time (your heart rate drops to the pre-exercise level) before taking a bath. It is best to take a warm bath and replenish water in time.

3. Wipe sweat in time to avoid catching cold. Do not enter the air-conditioned room immediately and change sweaty clothes immediately.

At the same time, be careful not to eat, drink a lot of water, take medicine, or inject insulin immediately after exercise.

Therefore, we must exercise correctly, which can not only strengthen our body, but also improve our immunity, and also have a very good protective effect on various body functions.

Revolutionizing Therapy: Panacea's Next Leap - Unveiling the Future of Injection Pens

  Do you still have a sense of boundaries? I’m talking about semaglutide. On October 10, Novo Nordisk announced that the Phase III clinical trial of semaglutide in the treatment of kidney damage patients with type 2 diabetes and chronic kidney disease was terminated early due to excellent efficacy. GLP-1 drugs are becoming a panacea, from reducing blood sugar and weight to chronic kidney disease, NASH, Alzheimer's disease, Parkinson's disease, obstructive sleep apnea, intermittent claudication, dyslipidemia, and even improving psoriasis disease symptoms. In May this year, "Frontiers in Pharmacology" also discussed the treatment of GLP-1 for inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), mucositis, short bowel syndrome, acute lung injury, pulmonary fibrosis, and pulmonary hypertension. Who can withstand this? The GLP-1 industry chain has finally become fragrant and long, from downstream drugs (Innovent Biologics, Hengrui Pharmaceuticals, Huadong Medicine, Changshan Pharmaceuticals,

Why can't insulin pen needles be reused?

INSULIN PEN NEEDLE REUSE: RISKS, SAFETY GUIDELINES & PROPER USAGE | DIABETES INJECTION TIPS Why can't insulin pen needles be reused?  Insulin pen needles are not recommended for reuse as repeated use can lead to needle tip dulling, increasing pain during injection, compromising dose accuracy, potentially causing subcutaneous fat hypertrophy, and affecting insulin absorption. Blunted Needle Tips: With repeated use, needle tips can lose their sharpness, resulting in increased discomfort during injection and potentially damaging skin or subcutaneous tissue. Reduced Dosing Accuracy: Wear and tear or blockages in the needle can interfere with the precise delivery of insulin, affecting blood glucose control, particularly crucial for diabetics who rely on accurate dosing. Subcutaneous Fat Proliferation: Frequent injections at the same site can stimulate tissue, leading to the formation of fatty lumps (lipohypertrophy), which not only cause more pain during injection but also impair
