🍃🍃🍃*TYPE 2 DIABTES AND SUMMER TIPS*🌸🌸🌸Heat, especially hard on people with diabetes. When your body is exposed to heat, you lose more water through sweat, which can dehydrate you. Dehydration increases blood sugar levels. High blood sugar will make you urinate more often, which can dehydrate you even more. To stay hydrated, drink more fluids. Heat can affect the way your body absorbs insulin. In hot weather, more blood flows to your skin. When you’re dehydrated-- less blood flows to the skin. Most types of insulin, especially short-acting insulin, don’t work as well when blood flow is decreased.🌺🌺🌺Prevent dehydration.Drink plenty of water—even if you’re not thirsty—so you don’t get dehydrated.Avoid alcohol and drinks with caffeine, like coffee and energy or sports drinks. They can lead to water loss and spike your blood glucose levels.🌷🌷🌷Avoid sunburn. It damages your skin and can affect diabetes control. A serious sunburn causes inflammation, which in turn raises blood sugar. 🌼🌼🌼 *Sabja Seeds* (Basil Seeds)- Benefits For Summers----tukmaria, primarily in summers, cools down the body.🍁🍁🍁Sabja seeds in summers:1.
