The following steps can be taken to avoid these:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Find a shaded place and take a rest. An air-conditioned room is also a good option, but make sure there is no sudden shift as it may result in drastic body temperature fluctuations. Lie down on your back with your legs in an elevated position.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Cool fluids instantly relieve body heat and dehydration. Avoid alcohol at all costs, as it will quickly dehydrate you again.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Taking a shower is also extremely helpful.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Loosen your clothing to breathe easily and let sweating and heat pass out.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Opt for a cooler environment to exercise, like an air-conditioned gym, or shift your timings to early morning or late evening when the weather is cooler.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">It is important to get your eyes tested regularly. People with diabetes tend to have pre-existing retinopathy, which is worsened by the heat and makes the eyes sensitive to infection.<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/all-about-diabetic-peripheral-neuropathy\/\">Read More: All About Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Precautions_for_Diabetic_Neuropathy\"><\/span><strong><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Precautions for Diabetic Neuropathy<\/span><\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">What is diabetic neuropathy? Diabetic neuropathy is a condition in diabetes that damages the nerves. High blood sugar levels can cause severe damage to your body, especially your legs and feet.&nbsp;<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">As part of diabetes care, it is important for people who suffer from diabetic neuropathy to keep the following in mind for proper foot care in diabetes:<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ul class=\"wp-block-list\">\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Avoid remaining in environments with temperatures more than 85-90\u00b0F.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">Wear shoes that protect your feet adequately. Excessive sweat in the feet can make them more prone to yeast, fungal infections, blisters, open sores, etc.<\/span><\/li>\n\n\n\n<li><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">If you feel numb at the soles of your feet, refrain from wearing flip-flops or open sandals. These block the airflow and also fail to provide sufficient support to your feet.&nbsp;<\/span><\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n\n\n<p><span data-preserver-spaces=\"true\">The most important thing is to always check your blood sugar levels by using a <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3s4KjvA\">compact glucometer<\/a> and following a healthy diet to beat the heat. These readings can be recorded and stored in the diabetes management app, which is synced with the glucometer.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Download the <a href=\"https:\/\/bit.ly\/3h0bFgb\">BeatO App<\/a> if you are looking for a SMART diabetes monitoring platform to manage your blood sugar levels.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>&#8230;<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":10138,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[17],"tags":[9,15,54],"class_list":["post-1286","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-diabetes-basics","tag-blood-sugar-level","tag-diabetic-management","tag-healthcare"],"aioseo_notices":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1286"}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/15"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=1286"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1286\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18802,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/1286\/revisions\/18802"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/10138"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=1286"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=1286"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.beatoapp.com\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=1286"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
