Our COVID-19 Response at Elder Care Homecare. Read Now
Did you know that people with diabetes are at a higher risk for COVID-19? This is because diabetes can weaken the immune system and make it harder for the body to fight off infection. This blog post will look at the relationship between diabetes and COVID-19 and discuss ways to protect yourself and your loved ones.
The percentages increase when referring to older adults and getting complications from COVID-19. And that's no surprise. Senior citizens and people with underlying medical conditions are more likely to get sick from COVID-19 and develop major health issues. Elders with diabetes cover both criteria.
The following tips don't make you immune to the virus. These are recommendations to avoid contracting it and minimize its effects.
Stay up to date with COVID-19 vaccines (primary series and booster), and follow preventive measures.
It's important to contact your doctor to help keep your diabetes under control. Monitor your blood sugar levels closely and see your doctor if you develop any COVID-19 symptoms.
Be sure to wash with soap and water for at least 20 seconds. You should also avoid touching your face, especially your eyes, nose, and mouth. If you touch your face, wash your hands immediately afterward.
If someone in your household is sick, try to maintain a distance of at least six feet. You should also avoid sharing cups, dishes, and utensils with sick people.
Take the preoccupations about your loved ones getting sick to a minimum. There's no permanent solution to avoid COVID-19. Still, with the tips shared above and our seniors assisted living service in NY, you can restore some of your tranquility.
