These 3 kinds of complications that diabetics should prevent after the fall! Prevention is important, be prepared in time!
The reason why the morbidity and fatality rate of diabetes is quite high is due to the long-term uncontrolled blood sugar, which induces a variety of complications. For people with diabetes, the complications are quite scary. After the beginning of autumn, the weather becomes dry and the temperature difference between morning and evening is large. It is the high incidence period of various complications such as skin diseases, eye diseases, and cardiovascular diseases for diabetics. Therefore, diabetics should prepare in time to prevent the following complications. .
- Feet
Compared with normal people, the nails of diabetic patients will have some pathological changes more or less, and the most common is thickening of the nails. At this time, foot wounds will be caused due to various reasons. The early wounds are not properly handled, and they have not received enough attention. In addition to the reasons for neuropathy, the peripheral nerves of the feet of diabetic patients feel duller than normal people. Therefore, it is usually not noticeable after an injury, which can lead to infection and even ulceration and lead to diabetic foot. Therefore, people with diabetes should wash their feet with warm water and soft soap every night to keep their feet clean, and pay more attention to whether there is any small damage to the feet. If they are found, they should be treated and treated in time.
- Skin
Diabetic patients suffer from itching due to increased glucose content in the skin, which stimulates the skin to itch, or because the skin is in a state of chronic dehydration for a long time, sweating is reduced, and the skin is excessively dry. Autumn is also a relatively dry season, and it is also prone to skin diseases. Diabetic patients should not scratch, as scratching can spread the itching. Avoid hot water scalding and soapy water irritation, apply moisturizer after bathing. Wear pure cotton fabrics as much as possible.
- Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes patients are often accompanied by a variety of cardiovascular disease risk factors, such as obesity, elevated "bad" cholesterol, high blood pressure, smoking, mental stress, and more. The above risk factors jointly promote the occurrence and development of atherosclerosis, and ultimately lead to cardiovascular disease. People with diabetes have a 2-4 times increased risk of developing cardiovascular disease compared to people without diabetes. After the beginning of autumn, due to the large temperature difference between morning and evening, the contraction and relaxation of blood vessels are aggravated, and blood pressure fluctuations are easily caused between the contraction and relaxation, which brings a burden to the heart. Therefore, sugar friends should not catch cold easily, and prevent colds.
In order to prevent complications after autumn, in addition to paying attention to the care of various parts, the key is to control blood sugar. Pay attention to blood sugar monitoring, add more water, and diet should be crude rather than refined, light and not salty, which will help to lower blood sugar.
