Please give more care to sugar friends

Reject discrimination, reject colored glasses

I saw a piece of news a while ago, saying that someone worked hard to get into the civil service exam, but in the end he was rejected in the physical examination. Many people felt sorry for him. I was curious and searched for my country's "General Medical Examination Standards for Civil Servant Recruitment (Trial)", and there is indeed a regulation in it that states: "Diabetes... and other endocrine system diseases are unqualified." That is, applicants with the above-mentioned diseases will not be admitted. Diabetes is only a chronic disease. Because of the concern of the whole society, even the testing items for the infectious disease hepatitis B have been cancelled. Diabetes is not contagious, so why should it be restricted? This makes the editor very confused. This regulation is very unreasonable. In fact, if patients with diabetes have good blood sugar control and no complications from diabetes, their physical and mental abilities are no different from ordinary people, and they can engage in most jobs. Moreover, many elite athletes are diabetic, such as NBA Lakers forward Adam Morrison, Olympic swimming champion Gary Hall, and Jia Zhanbo, who once won the Olympic shooting championship. Since diabetic patients are in these physically demanding sports, You can perform well in projects, why can't you be a civil servant? People with diabetes are treated unfairly at work and employment. Not only that, some people with diabetes also have a very difficult time in school and other paths, and they need to work harder than healthy people. Here we call on everyone to give more humane care, understanding and support to patients with diabetes. We reject discrimination and colored glasses.

Eat snacks to prevent hypoglycemia

As a diabetic patient, we have a deeper understanding of the true meaning of eating less and more frequently. On the one hand, doing so can reduce the sugar load of each meal on the body, reduce the burden on pancreatic beta cells, and is conducive to blood sugar control. On the other hand, some People's treatment plans require them to eat at certain times to prevent hypoglycemic reactions caused by medication. However, some employers have relevant regulations that do not allow employees to eat during working hours. If employees are found to eat during working hours, they will be punished accordingly. This regulation seems to be to maintain work discipline and improve employees' work efficiency, but in fact it lacks humanistic care for employees. Regardless of whether your employees are diabetic or not, they all need to have a certain amount of rest time. This is not only a sign of respect for employees, but also the best way to improve their work efficiency. For our diabetic patients, it is likely that they need to replenish food during breaks to prevent hypoglycemia. For employees who have been sedentary for a long time, it is also very good for their health to get up and move appropriately.

Speaking of which, we advocate the practices of some foreign companies and large domestic companies. They will prepare a space for employees, where coffee, snacks, fruits, etc. are provided for employees to eat during their breaks.

Dozing off may not be sleepiness

Many people easily feel sleepy after lunch, especially in this season. Even those who are not diabetics often feel sleepy after lunch. Sometimes they want to take a small stick to prop up their eyelids. At this time, if you can take a nap for a while, you will feel sleepy. Very good. Sometimes you will find that your colleagues with diabetes are also dozing off, but be careful at this time. When a diabetic patient is sleepy, it does not necessarily mean that he or she is dozing off. It may be due to hypoglycemia. If he doesn't wake up for a long time, you may need to wake him up or ask him if he needs help.
