Can diabetic patients drink? If the body can bear these five consequences, then drink enough!

It is said that alcohol is a kind of intestinal poison. Many diabetic patients are hospitalized for drinking for many times, and doctors have repeatedly warned diabetic patients to stop smoking and limit alcohol. For diabetic patients, what is the harm of alcohol?

Generally speaking, the harm of wine mainly includes the following points.

1. Wine can affect the effect of hypoglycemic drugs

We all know that alcohol and hypoglycemic drugs are metabolized by the liver, so drinking and using hypoglycemic drugs at the same time will reduce the efficacy. Plus that all alcohol is a high calorie liquid, the sugar content of a glass of wine is about equal to several bowls of rice.

Therefore, drinking will make our blood sugar rise, to a certain extent, weaken the effect of hypoglycemic drugs.

2. Drinking alcohol in diabetic patients will lead to increased blood lipid

Drinking can damage the liver, and eventually lead to the increase of triglycerides and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol, and eventually lead to hyperlipidemia.

Hyperlipidemia is an important element leading to obesity and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular accidents. Drinking should be reduced and restricted.

3. Drinking alcohol will harm the pancreatic health in diabetic patients

Pancreas is particularly prone to problems during holidays and friends' parties, mainly because of the large amount of alcohol consumed during the period.

After the wine reaches the duodenum, it can cause duodenal reflux, retrograde to the pancreas through the corresponding catheter, damage the pancreas, and eventually lead to pancreatitis.

Pancreatitis is often more serious, requiring continuous treatment for a week, during which a large amount of infusion is required, which is a waste of money and damage to health.

4. Diabetes patients drink a lot of alcohol easily lead to gouty arthritis attack

Generally speaking, alcohol has some damage to the kidney.

Relevant data show that compared with ordinary people, diabetic patients are several times more likely to get gout. Drinking is an important factor leading to gout attack. If diabetic patients drink alcohol, it will make uric acid accumulation more serious and eventually induce gout.

Gout is not a fatal disease, but it doesn't kill you when it hurts, so you must avoid drinking alcohol in daily life, so as not to induce gout attack.

5. Drinking alcohol can cause hypoglycemia in diabetic patients

In clinical, we have encountered many cases of diabetes patients who were sent to see a doctor because of coma caused by drinking.

This is due to the fact that alcohol is metabolized into ethanol in the human body after drinking, and then retrograde to the pancreas along with the duodenum and pancreas interface, which eventually leads to a large amount of insulin secretion in the pancreas, resulting in a decrease in blood glucose and even hypoglycemic coma.

So I really don't recommend drinking for diabetics.

If you drink alcohol, you must pay attention to self-observation. If you find that you have dyspnea, dizziness, pale complexion, cold sweat, limb tremor and other hypoglycemic symptoms, you must timely monitor blood glucose and supplement sugar.

If the situation is particularly serious, they should be sent to the hospital for treatment.

Maybe some people think it's strange that we don't drink when we get together?

In fact, as long as you explain the situation to your friends, you will get understanding in most cases.

If you really have to drink, please be vigilant in your heart, adjust the drug dosage and observe your own reaction. If necessary, monitor your blood sugar to avoid hypoglycemic coma and hyperglycemic ketoacidosis.
