Diabetes, Smoking, Alcohol Culprit

Because tobacco contains substances to stimulate the secretion of adrenaline, inhaled cigarette when the big mouth, the spirit will make people excited, vasoconstriction, which is detrimental to patients with diabetes. Because of vasoconstriction and increased secretion of adrenaline will cause the body in a stress, to inhibit the secretion of substances increased insulin secretion, hyperglycemia. Some studies show that long-term heavy smoking is difficult to control blood glucose one of the reasons, it is best to quit smoking diabetic patients.
High number of patients with diabetes should not drink liquor, if alcohol will often lead to elevated blood triglycerides, and a heavy burden on the liver, the liver in alcohol long-term stimulation, the hardening will occur, thus having an impact on glycogen storage, This is extremely detrimental to the stability of blood sugar, In addition, alcohol and some hypoglycemic drugs (such as sulfonylureas) are fueling, the patient appeared flustered, gas tight, dizziness, flushing and other adverse reactions, and some will appear low blood sugar. Patients on insulin, fasting drinking can easily lead to low blood sugar reactions, be dangerous in some patients, attention should be paid.
Diabetes should not drink liquor. But wine, rice wine and other low-alcohol wine can be appropriate to drink, wine also contains a certain type of nutrition and health effects. But after drinking a corresponding reduction in the amount of staple food, and pay attention to such a low alcohol wine and do not drink when fasting or excessive drinking.
Smoking and drinking extra sad when liver
Some people always like to keep smoking and drinking when, in fact, this is a single drink, or smoke more than unhealthy bad habits. In recent years, studies have shown abroad: alcoholic drinks and tobacco, regardless of home, not easy to damage the brain and heart, will double the liver (for the individual in terms of alcohol liver injury).
Drinking time and smoking, alcohol and tobacco "two-pronged" will produce a synergistic effect, the sum of two evils not only an increased risk of cancer, but also to make alcoholic drinks and tobacco in various "toxins" easy to spread through the mucosa into the blood and in a lot of harm to health caused, especially to the liver and cardiovascular damage can not be ignored. Because the liver of this "chemical factory" to absorb 95% of alcohol metabolized into other chemical substances, which increase the burden on the liver, it decreased metabolic detoxification function, which can cause fatty liver clearance function of the blood reduce excess lipids will be blocked blood vessels, carrying nutrients and oxygen to the blood cells is difficult to reach all parts of the body. In addition, while drinking while smoking, smoke and carbon monoxide and hemoglobin in the blood combined (carbon monoxide binding with hemoglobin than oxygen binding with hemoglobin 200 times higher), which would seriously undermine the delivery of oxygen to red blood cells ability. Will clearly lead to a lack of oxygen in the blood. Such as the risk of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, alcohol and tobacco "peer", but also likely to cause myocardial infarction and hypertension, some individuals may cause serious consequences of brain cell death.
