Managing diabetes in cold weather can be a real challenge. Excessive cold strains and stresses the body, and often causes the body to go into a mode of fight-or-fight that releases hormones like, cortisol and adrenaline. The body’s natural survival hormones results in the liver releasing more glucose for energy and this results in blood sugar levels that are higher-than-normal.

So, yes, winters can be difficult for diabetic people. But, Nirvana Naturopathy is here to provide some tips on how you can manage diabetes in cold weather. Naturopathy for diabetes can help you manage diabetes year-round, and below given are a few things to keep in mind when the mercury dips.

  • Keep Your Feet And Hands Warm At All Times: Circulation to your feet can be reduced as a result of diabetes and this can leave your feet cold. Winter might also enhance the chances of nerve pain and infection in your feet. You need to wear waterproof boots and warm socks, pay attention to foot care. Wear mittens or warm gloves to keep your hands warm.
  • Avoid Flus And Cold: For diabetic patients, it is harder to fight cold and flu than a normal person. But, naturopathy can help you with that.
