My mom is 78 years old, has diabetes and heart failure, and wants to increase her nutrition.
Often elderly diabetic friends say, the children buy things to send me, that is their filial piety, I can not not eat ah, so, blood sugar is high!
This is almost the most common problem encountered by older diabetics and one of the top reasons for their elevated blood sugar.
Children are filial and know how to take care of the elderly, but filial piety must be to the point, to make the elderly happy and enjoy a high quality of life, but also good health.
For the diabetic elderly, some children think that the elderly are old, the body is not good, need to strengthen the nutrition, so buy a lot of nutrients to the elderly, these nutrients the elderly may not understand how to mix and match, how to grasp the amount, usually in the normal diet on top of the protein powder and other nutrients, resulting in elevated or unstable blood glucose.
Children are busy with work and do not live with their parents. When they come to visit the elderly at intervals, they buy more things, such as vegetables, meat, fruits, and so on.
Older people are generally more frugal, and when they see so much food and worry about spoilage and waste, they eat a lot, and their blood sugar varies more.
When they eat together, they will also advise the elderly to try this and that, without making reasonable adjustments to their dietary structure. In this way, the amount of food eaten will be relatively large and the food ratios will not be very appropriate.
Therefore, for parents with diabetes, if the parents are older, it is better to visit the parents frequently, talk to them and take a walk with them, and try not to disrupt their regular living and eating patterns.
Ensure the calcium intake of the elderly, prepare some calcium supplements such as Calcium D and other easily absorbed drugs, the rest of the nutrients can basically be taken from food, prepare milk, lean meat, fish, shrimp, eggs and so on can be, you can also choose ready-to-eat sea cucumbers and so on, depending on their own conditions.
Diligent to visit the elderly, each time do not bring too much food, a variety of fruits can choose a few, do not go to 10 pounds of apples, 10 pounds of bananas, perishable and perishable food, so that the amount of food was not big, and need to control the diet of the elderly will be very difficult.
There are some rare foods, you can check the calories of this food beforehand to determine which food group it belongs to, and make food exchanges based on food exchange portions, which will ensure that the elderly can taste the unique flavors of the food as well as keep their blood sugar stable.
Elderly people with diabetes combined with heart failure are generally required to have a low-salt diet, but for people with diabetes alone, the diet calls for a low-salt diet, so there's nothing special about that, just follow a normal diet.
Elderly people with combined heart failure should be prevented from exertion and large mood swings, which can lead to aggravation of heart failure. Therefore, the elderly exercise time is not too long, accompanied by someone can be carried out outdoors, if not accompanied, indoor activities are also possible.
Accompany the elderly exercise, pay attention to observe the state of the elderly, generally in the exercise can speak normally, but can not sing the amount of exercise or more suitable. If a activity on wheezing, panic or not recommended to go out for activities.

Why did your mom cause heart failure? Let's now learn to understand what heart failure means. Heart failure is a condition in which the heart's circulation is impaired due to a disturbance in the heart's systolic or diastolic function and its inability to adequately drain the blood from the veins back to the heart, resulting in a pooling of blood in the venous system and insufficient perfusion of blood in the arterial system. Why is the heart unable to expel blood? It is the heart that has no muscles, weak contractions, and no strength in the heart mechanism. Why is there no muscle? It is because the organism lacks nutrients. This is one of the complications of diabetes. So in current medicine, can you just take medicine to make your muscles grow? Can you make your heart muscle have strength? Only by nutrition.
The typical symptoms of diabetics are 3 more and 1 less, so we see that although he or she eats a lot, but those hypoglycemic drugs you take are not allowing you to fully absorb the nutrients, but slowing down the absorption or inhibiting the absorption of his, so all the good things you eat do not end up in your cells, so diabetic people will be more and more lethargic. And we know that people from the age of 50 years old after the muscle began to dissolve at a rate of 8-13%, 70 years old after the dissolution of the rate greatly accelerated to 13-15%, so whether you consciously or unconsciously between your muscles are decreasing, which is why people get older the more no strength the more lethargic reason (and many people are oligomuscular obesity).

Mom is 78 years old and should have a history of diabetes for many years, so her muscle dissolution will be faster and faster, which is what leads to heart failure. You want to give him a nutritional supplement, which requires a full nutritional low calorie high dietary fiber for muscle synthesis, supplemented by fruits and vegetables and other nutrients with the promotion of insulin repair synthesis to reduce the amount of diabetes medication to achieve a reduction in the amount of medication to the point of discontinuation of the drug, which is the ultimate goal of our treatment of diabetes.
