Patients with diabetes, like other risk groups, must take preventive measures against the coronavirus situation. In this article we share some general recommendations.

Due to alerts associated with the coronavirus, many patients with diabetes, and their caregivers, have been forced to take preventive measures. The COVID-19 pandemic is recent and there are many unknowns about its operation.

So far there is no precise information on aspects such as the spread of the virus, its mode of action, its pathophysiology, among others. However, certain risk groups have been identified, such as older adults, immunosuppressed people and diabetics.

Although the coronavirus (COVID-19) is a pathogen that does not cause a high mortality rate under normal conditions, the mentioned groups tend to have serious complications and fatal outcomes. On this occasion we want to emphasize one group in particular: patients with diabetes.

Thus, in the next space we will explain how to adopt efficient prevention strategies, and we will give some dietary recommendations that can be useful for caring for the health of these people.

Coronavirus prevention.
Diabetes and coronavirus: wash your hands.
One of the most important preventive measures for the prevention of the coronavirus is the correct washing of the hands.
Patients with diabetes, like anyone else, should reinforce hand hygiene as a method of preventing coronavirus. Although the virus can remain active on some surfaces, according to experts, it is sensitive to soap, water and alcohol.

For this reason, it is crucial to wash your hands frequently and disinfect frequently handled objects, including mobile devices. In addition, it is recommended not to leave the house to avoid contact with people.

A distance of 2 meters between people should be enough to prevent the spread of the virus from the suspension of saliva drops emitted when speaking.

There are no indications that encourage food to be a vector of contagion. However, it is recommended to fully cook them to avoid possible risks.

Diabetes and coronavirus: how to intervene ?.
Going to the hospital is not a good idea unless there is a serious symptom picture. For this reason, the best option is correct planning. Thus, it is necessary to have on hand the telephone numbers of medical services.

On the other hand, it is crucial to have food in the pantry that allows them to survive at home until the period of incubation and contagion of the virus has ended. In addition, it is necessary to have blood glucose monitoring equipment, as well as appropriate medication to control this parameter.

In the event that a diabetic contracts the disease, it is recommended to immediately contact the health team to find out exactly how often they should control glucose. It should be noted that no medication should be suspended unless the doctor indicates it.

There are experts who affirm that some NSAIDs can complicate the progression of the disease, but there are no scientific studies in this regard that make this claim evident. In any case, it is better to avoid self-medication and follow the recommendations of the professionals below.

Diet against inflammation and coronavirus.
Nutritional treatment in type 2 diabetes.
Some foods, included in the framework of a healthy and balanced diet, can be beneficial for patients with diabetes.
The coronavirus produces pneumonia that can compromise the life of the individual. For this reason, food will always be focused on reducing inflammation. Scientific evidence has scientifically determined that certain foods, such as garlic or crucifers, have an anti-inflammatory character. For this reason, its intake is recommended in this type of situation.

Furthermore, current studies suggest that turmeric can help prevent and improve lung pathologies. Thanks to its antioxidant and anti-inflammatory capacity, it becomes a great ally that can help fight disease
