ln
the
summer,
cold drinks,
ice
creams,
or
fruits
like
cooled water
melons are very attractive, especially
after exercises. As these
have
a
high
sugar content, diabetics
had better
drink
water or
plain
tea
instead.
Among fruits,
durian and
lychee
are both rich
in
sugars. For healthy individuals,
the
occasional
food
poisoning
may not be
catastrophic
but
this may precipitate an
aitack
of
kelonia (a severe metabolic
disturbance manifested by ketones
in
the urine)
in
diabetics. lf the diabetes
has affected the eyes or
the
kidneys
or
the nervous system, better
know
your
own
limitations.
Those who
have coro-
naries
or
uncontrolled
hypertension
should avoid
long
trips
overseas.
When
preparing for a
trip,
remember
to
bring
along
all
necessary medications
and
testing gadgets,
as
the demand
for
anti-
diabetic
treatment
is never diminished
on
the
trip
-
the
reverse is often true,
because there
are
more uncertainties,
e.9., less hygienic diets, inegular hours
of eating or even unpredictable quanti-
ties of
tood. Excessive tiredness
is
another important
predisposing factor,
let
alone unknown infections contracted
during the trip. All
these
may make the
blood sugar
levels
too
high or
too
low.
At any time,
it
symptoms
like
dizziness,
cold sweats,
hand
tremors,
weakness
of
limbs,
fast heart
beats, etc.
occur,
sugars musl be
ready
to
raise
blood
sugar
levels promptly. Foot
hygiene and
care must
not be
forgotten,
as
diabet-
ics are prone to foot injuries!
