The Spanish Diabetes Federation (FEDE) recommends returning to "healthy routine" as soon as possible after vacations so as not to neglect the control of diabetes, establishing objectives such as performing regular physical exercise, together with a healthy and balanced diet.

In the case of people with diabetes, the rhythm changes that can occur during vacations must be monitored with special attention, since they may have negative consequences on health and control of pathology.An increase in weight, for example, can affect the metabolic rhythm and hinder the control of blood glucose.

In the first place, in terms of food, Fede advises avoiding sedentary lifestyle and making physical exercise a activity always present in the weekly planning of people with diabetes.To do this, a physical activity that is entertaining and prove to exercise accompanied should be chosen.

In this sense, there are numerous sports disciplines, so each person can opt for the most adjusted to their previous physical form and preferences.A simple physical activity can be walking 30 minutes, at least four days a week.

Secondly, it is essential to resume the routine after summer following a diet in which food intake is limited with a high content of saturated sugars and fats and more prominence is given to fresh vegetables and fruits.

In addition, it is convenient to use olive oil to cook, avoid excessive salt use and pay attention to food labeling.Therefore, Fede recommends following a food based on 50 percent of vegetables, 25 percent of protein food and 25 percent of pharinaceous foods, to which a piece of dessert and water fruit can be added.

Finally, you have to always have a family and medical support network.In the framework of professionals, these must be allies for any consultation in relation to possible changes that may affect glucose levels.These can be abrupt variations in food and work schedules or the appearance of stress situations.

This head does not know where it is due to, but we are going the Fede as always covering itself with glory, in the first place it seems very unfortunate in which between the lines the "lack of control" in the holiday period and that they want to make aVil Similarity of the silly television campaigns that year after year at the end/early of August/September flood the headlines with gyms reports, people running etc ... imply or intuit that on vacation it "changed rhythm" the only thingthat it entails is a damage in health to a third party and think that these people represent the diabetics.Because they do not publish it in May as tips for a holiday without setback.I have never understood that vacation was synonymous with lack of control, but what I understand less is that the National Diabetics Association preached with it.Directing and focusing on the well -being of diabetics, writings and claims can be saved for the quality of diabetics, because they shorten life expectancy.: -q: -q
