Chinese sugar friends have reached 130 million! Reminder: There are 2 manifestations of sleeping legs and feet, beware of blood sugar soaring
Diabetes is a metabolic disease. The abnormal secretion of insulin in the human body leads to the decline of pancreatic function and the increase of blood sugar levels in the body.
According to data, there were about 30 million diabetic patients in China in 2008, accounting for the second largest number of diabetic patients in the world. And now, China's sugar friends have reached 130 million.
The rapid growth of this data in just ten years is mostly related to people's usual living habits, environment, genetics and other factors.
Long-term high blood sugar will damage the eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels and nerves of the human body to varying degrees, causing dysfunction and seriously affecting the patient's life and health.
The doctor reminded that there are 2 manifestations of sleeping legs and feet, beware of blood sugar soaring
- Pain
After the patient's blood sugar continues to rise, it will cause peripheral neuropathy, and the feet will feel hot and swollen when sleeping. This is because the patient has internal heat due to yin deficiency.
At the same time, the increase of blood sugar concentration will affect the endothelial function of the venous blood vessels of the feet, which will cause the feet to heat up, and the local blood cannot flow smoothly. After a large amount of accumulation in the feet, it becomes swollen and painful. improve the condition.
Second, numbness
Patients usually do not pay attention to control diet so that blood sugar remains high for a long time, and the peripheral nerve will be damaged after the disease is aggravated.
When sleeping, because the body is in a static state, the blood circulation function of the extremities is reduced, and the feet or hands will experience ischemia and hypoxia, causing numbness. Some patients even lose consciousness because of this, even the feet are affected. The injury can't be felt.
Peripheral neuropathy will have a great impact on the patient's life, such as decreased leg consciousness, limb weakness, pain, numbness, and failure to control blood sugar in time will cause disability or death.
According to the data, the hospitalization and amputation rate of patients due to neuropathy is extremely high, accounting for 50%-70% of non-traumatic amputations.
In addition to the above two symptoms, what complications can diabetes cause?
First, renal failure
After the patient's kidney disease, the kidney function will decline, the kidney volume will become larger, and end-stage renal disease will cause renal failure, which will cause people to lose their lives.
Second, blindness
Fundus lesions will cause cataracts, retinopathy, and cataracts to reduce vision and even blindness in the eyes.
Third, diabetic foot
After the complications of diabetic foot appear, the feeling will gradually decline, and walking will feel like stepping on the clouds.
Fourth, heart disease
Diabetic heart disease puts people at risk for myocardial infarction, angina, cardiogenic shock, and sudden death.
Fifth, cerebrovascular disease
Diabetic cerebrovascular disease can cause frequent headaches, insomnia, emotional instability, neurasthenia and other symptoms, which have a serious impact on life.
After suffering from diabetes, we must pay attention to control blood sugar and keep blood sugar within the normal range to effectively avoid complications. The main way to control blood sugar is to use insulin, taking hypoglycemic drugs and diet and exercise therapy.
Patients should usually avoid eating high-fat, high-calorie, high-sugar, and high-salt foods, and should focus on light-tasting foods, pay attention to the combination of ingredients to make the diet nutritionally balanced, and take appropriate physical exercise to enhance physical fitness and blood sugar. keep it steady.
Complications should be actively cooperated with treatment after the occurrence of complications, do not be overly nervous, anxiety can make the condition improve as soon as possible.
