What are the consequences of diabetes? Is it serious?

Analysis: The main harm of diabetes mellitus is to cause various complications, guidance:

Such as arteriosclerosis, diabetic nephropathy, coronary heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, peripheral neuritis and other diseases, so it is necessary to control blood sugar as soon as possible, so as not to cause complications and then it is too late.

Diabetes mellitus** must be premised on diet control and exercise**. Diabetic patients should avoid sugary and sugary foods, reduce the intake of high-fat and high-cholesterol foods, eat high-fibre and starchy foods in moderation, and eat small and frequent meals. Exercise should be chosen under the guidance of a physician, and whole-body exercise, including walking and jogging, should be done whenever possible.

On this basis, appropriate insulin sensitizers or other hypoglycemic drugs can be used to achieve the purpose of long-term effective blood sugar control. However, oral medication is not enough, and insulin should be used appropriately. Eating more bitter gourd has a good auxiliary hypoglycemic effect.

Serious complications of diabetes include: cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases; nephropathy, uremia; peripheral neuritis; Rotten feet, etc.

Proper control of blood sugar is the key to preventing complications.

Diabetes is very harmful, first of all, there will be more eating, drinking more, urinating more, and losing weight, which is the basic situation, and it will damage many organs in the body. For example, damage to blood vessels throughout the body, leading to high blood pressure, heart disease, damage to the kidneys, proteinuria, kidney failure, damage to the eyes, blurred vision, damage to nerves, and sensory impairment, it is recommended to act as soon as possible. Satisfied.

There are many types of diabetes, and the consequences are often severe. In the final analysis, this disease is a metabolic disease, the sugar in the blood can not be metabolized normally, resulting in high blood sugar, long-term high blood sugar, will lead to damage to large blood vessels, microvasculars and endanger the heart, brain, kidneys, peripheral nerves, eyes, feet, etc. It is necessary to find out the cause of diabetes and then prescribe the right medicine.

Acute complications of diabetes mainly include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperosmolar coma, and lactic acidosis, which can be directly life-threatening in severe cases. What I saw in the micro-sugar knowledge base.

Diabetes is caused by a variety of causes, including three main aspects:

First, genetic factors, some races are particularly prone to diabetes, such as Indians are a high-risk group for diabetes, and Chinese are also susceptible to diabetes. In addition, type 2 diabetes mellitus is among the types of diabetes.

It is closely related to genetics, including elders, peers, and younger generations, in short, people who are related by blood have diabetes, and the risk of diabetes among relatives is more relevant than that of people without a family history of diabetes. In addition, there are specific types of diabetes that can be genetically linked;

Second, environmental factors, such as age, with the increase of age, the chance of developing diabetes will increase significantly. In addition, it is also related to weight, obesity.

The chances of patients getting diabetes are to be significantly higher than normal weight people who are making a lot of noise;

3. Lifestyle, such as less exercise, now go out to drive or take various means of transportation, while exercising is reduced, the intake of various food types has increased, and the standard of living has improved, such as a high-fat, high-sugar, high-calorie diet. These unhealthy diets have a detrimental effect on the body's energy metabolism and lead to obesity. In addition, some people smoke and drink too much alcohol, which will cause metabolic abnormalities and often develop diabetes.

All these reasons will cause insulin deficiency in the body, insulin insensitivity, and increase blood sugar in the body, which may cause various complications if not diagnosed and **, endangering the quality of life and life. Some of these factors cannot be changed, such as genetics and age, but can be changed, including lifestyle, such as exercising, controlling weight, keeping your mouth shut, and opening your legs. The prevention of diabetes is the same as the cause of diabetes, and it is a comprehensive measure.

Scientists are constantly exploring the causes of diabetes, and as a normal person, we must actively prevent diabetes when we do not have diabetes.

Diabetes mellitus is a group of lifelong metabolic diseases characterized by chronic hyperglycemia caused by a variety of **. Long-term blood sugar increases, large blood vessels, microvascular damage, and endanger the heart, brain, kidneys, peripheral nerves, eyes, feet, etc., in fact, diabetes complications up to more than 100 kinds, is currently known to have the most complications of a disease, clinical data confirm that about 10 years after the onset of diabetes will have 30% 40% of patients will have at least one complication. Complications of diabetes can be divided into two broad categories: acute and chronic.

Among the acute complications include diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemic hyperosmolar state, lactic acidosis, etc. Chronic complications are the main cause of disability and mortality in diabetes, including macrovascular complications, such as cardiovascular and cerebrovascular and lower limb vascular lesions; microvascular complications such as renal and fundus lesions; Neuropathy, such as sensory, motor, and autonomic neuropathy. In addition, diabetic foot is a common manifestation of severe vascular and neuropathy, with a high amputation rate and a poor prognosis.

The main harm lies in its complications, especially chronic complications.

Acute complications.

Diabetes mellitus co-infection: the incidence is high, and the two are cause and effect of each other, and must be treated at the same time. Common infections include respiratory tract infections and tuberculosis, urinary tract infections, and ** infections.

Diabetic hyperosmolar syndrome: it mostly occurs in middle-aged and elderly people, half of them have no history of diabetes, and the clinical manifestations include severe dehydration, and sometimes it can be misdiagnosed as cerebrovascular accident due to clinical manifestations such as hemiplegia and coma, and the mortality rate is as high as 50%.

Lactic acidosis: patients often have a history of heart, liver, and kidney diseases, or shock, infection, hypoxia, alcohol consumption, and a history of taking a large amount of hypoglycemic drugs, with non-specific symptoms and high mortality.

Chronic complications.

Macrovascular complications:

1) Cerebrovascular: the prevalence rate is 3 times higher than that of non-diabetic patients, which is the main reason for disability or early death of diabetic patients, among which obstructive cerebrovascular diseases are more common;

2) Cardiovascular: The morbidity rate of patients is 3 times higher than that of non-diabetic patients, which is the main reason for the early death of diabetic patients, and coronary heart disease is more common. The clinical characteristics include the high incidence and early onset of coronary heart disease, the increased incidence of cardiovascular lesions in female diabetes, and the common occurrence of atypical clinical manifestations such as ** myocardial infarction.

3) Lower limb blood vessels: the prevalence rate is 5 times higher than that of non-diabetic patients, and the amputation caused by diabetic lower limb vascular disease is more than 10 times more than that of non-diabetic patients, which is the main cause of limb disability in diabetic patients.

Microvascular complications:

1) Kidneys: The prevalence of uremia is 17 times higher than that of non-diabetic patients, and is the main cause of early death in patients with diabetes, especially type diabetes. Patients may have proteinuria, hypertension, edema, etc., and renal insufficiency may occur in the late stage;

2) Fundus: Blindness in both eyes is 25 times higher than in non-diabetics and is one of the main causes of disability in diabetic patients.

Neurological complications:

1) Sensory nerves: pain, numbness, hyperesthesia;

2) Motor nerve: movement disorder caused by single nerve paralysis can be seen, and local muscles can be atrophied;

3) Autonomic nervous system: abnormal sweating, changes in blood pressure and heart rate, urinary incontinence or urinary retention, diarrhea or constipation, impotence, etc.

Epidemiological studies have shown that:

Diabetic retinopathy occurs in 2% of patients with type 1 diabetes in the first 2 years, and the incidence of diabetic retinopathy over 15 years is as high as 98%.

After 20 years in patients with type 2 diabetes, the incidence of diabetic retinopathy is 60% and 84% in patients with or without insulin, respectively

In the early stage, retinopathy can appear as background changes such as hemorrhage, edema, microhemangioma, and exudation, and in the late stage, neovascular proliferative lesions appear, which are often irreversible and are an important cause of blindness in diabetic patients. Although good glycemic control can delay and reduce the progression of diabetic retinopathy, it cannot prevent the progression of diabetic retinopathy.

There are all causes of diabetes.

1. Genetic factors.

Usually a considerable number of diabetic patients are almost caused by genetic factors, especially those with a family history of diabetes. If both husband and wife are diabetic, there is a half chance that their child will develop diabetes. If one of the parents has diabetes, although the child will not necessarily get diabetes, but will become a carrier of the diabetes gene, then the prevalence of the child born to him will be relatively large.

2. Bad living habits and other factors.

In addition to genetic factors, the causes of diabetes are caused by the patient's usual bad habits and some other life factors. For example, overwork when you are young, resulting in impaired function, or congenital deficiency and acquired imbalance, or premature aging, and obese people, etc., have excessive fat accumulation in the body, which interferes with the heart, kidneys, lungs, liver and blood vessel disorders. These factors lead to pancreatic failure and insufficient insulin secretion, which can lead to the chance of developing diabetes.

Diabetes is not terrible, but what is terrible is the complications caused by diabetes. What are the possible complications of diabetes?

As diabetes progresses, it can damage the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys and nerves. It may cause diabetic ketoacidosis coma, diabetic non-ketotic hyperosmolar coma and some cardiovascular and renal diseases.

If the blood sugar is not well controlled, it can directly cause diabetes complications, and diabetes complications can only be controlled if they are not treated.

Cardiovascular and cerebrovascular lesions, namely diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases.

Lesions of the blood vessels in the fundus are diabetic eye diseases.

Lesions of nerve endings and blood vessels are diabetic peripheral neuritis.

Lesions of the blood vessels in the kidneys are diabetic nephropathy.

There is also diabetic foot, which is gangrene.

Once you have diabetes, you must keep your blood sugar normal.

The best thing for diabetes is to keep your mouth shut and control your diet and exercise as long as your blood sugar is kept normal, and the complications can be controlled.

It's okay to live to be a hundred years old.

It's just a little more medicine than a normal person.

Diabetes is not terrible, the most terrible thing is comorbidities:

Eyes: 1) Diabetic retinopathy.

2) Diabetic cataracts.

3) Diabetic iridocyclitis.

4) Miscellaneous. Such as: refractive error, external ophthalmoplegia, glaucoma (angiogenesis, hemorrhagemia), eye infections (stye, retrobulbar abscess). Among them, retinopathy is a diabetic fundus-specific frank change in the foot.

The main manifestations of diabetic foot are lower limb pain, ulcers, and from mild to severe, it can be manifested as intermittent lameness, lower limb rest pain and foot gangrene.

In the early stage of the lesion, physical examination can find manifestations of insufficient blood supply to the lower limbs, such as pale feet when the lower limbs are elevated, and purple-red when the lower limbs are drooping. Chills in the feet and decreased or absent dorsalis pedis pulses. Intermittent claudication is when the patient sometimes feels unbearable pain in the lower limbs while walking, so that he has to limp and walk.

Rest pain is the result of the further development of vascular lesions in the lower limbs, not only the blood supply to the lower limbs is insufficient when walking, but also the lower limbs are painful due to blood at rest. In severe cases, patients may have trouble sleeping all night. If the disease progresses further, necrosis may occur in the lower limbs, especially in both feet, and the wound will not heal for a long time, and in severe cases, the limb will have to be amputated to disability.

Diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia.

Diabetes mellitus complicated by cerebrovascular lesions.

Diabetics have a high rate of high blood pressure.

Diabetics are prone to osteoporosis.

Diabetic gastric complications.
