Do you know what happens to people with diabetes who press a pit on their calves and feet and neck?

Tissue swelling caused by excessive accumulation of water in the human tissue space, simply put, water seeps out from the blood vessels to the outside of the blood vessels, which is commonly known as edema, edema can occur both throughout the body and locally, and edema of the lower limbs and ankles belongs to local edema.

Lack of nutritional edemaSome people with diabetes are overly strict with the control of dietary matching, not only eating very few meals, but also eating too little high-protein foods such as meat, milk and eggs, resulting in hypoproteinemia due to protein deficiency in the body, and the osmotic concentration of blood is reduced, and water will extravasate and accumulate outside the capillaries, resulting in edema.

Edema is also one of the most common complications of diabetes, because high blood sugar damages the distal fine capillaries, thereby damaging the nerve center, and peripheral nerve capillaries dilate hematoma extravasation and causes edema, which mostly occurs in the lower limbs. Due to the presence of nerve center damage, edema occurs at the same time as discomfort such as numbness and tingling in the lower legs.

People with diabetic infectious edema of the feet have a decline in body circulation at the tail end of the limbs, and it is difficult to heal when there is a wound and cause symptoms, and the classic characteristics of inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, and pain. Edema of deep vein lesions of the lower limbs, long-term high blood sugar can cause heart valve lesions of deep veins in the legs, insufficiency of valvular closure, poor blood flow back, congestion in the legs, and edema; As a result, many congested blood nights are also likely to produce venous thrombosis to block the capillaries, so that the edema continues to worsen. This usually happens on one side, or the level of edema on both sides is different.

Renal function lesions, edema, renal fine capillaries, atherosclerosis due to high blood sugar, loss of many egg whites caused by hypoproteinemia caused edema, generalized edema, and significant swelling can also be seen on the face. Such things show that the harm of kidney function has already reached a certain level, and it has progressed to the middle and late stages of diabetic nephritis. When cardiovascular disease edema and diabetes cause heart failure, the blood circulation system of the whole body declines, a lot of blood is clogged throughout the body, and symmetrical edema occurs in the legs, which is often accompanied by panic, chest tightness, shortness of breath, chest tightness and other uncomfortable symptoms.

All in all, in addition to caring about objective indicators such as blood sugar values, blood pressure values, and blood sugar levels, people with diabetes should also take care of the small changes that occur in the body, which is usually a data signal for the occurrence of diabetes complications. For example, severe constipation and bloating often remind that diabetic gastroparesis is likely to occur, blurred vision and vision loss in the eyes suggest that diabetic eye lesions are likely to occur, and itching or feeling that there are small bugs crawling remind that diabetic abducens neuropathy is very likely.

I know that this is because I have diabetes and my body is swollen, so my calves and feet and neck are pressed into a pit, which is caused by a lack of nutrition and malnutrition in the body.

Because the body's immunity is relatively poor, there is excessive edema, and the body is bloated, so you should exercise more at this time.

[Professional doctors talk to you every day about health].

Ms. Zhang has been feeling suffocated and sore, and she pressed her calves and ankles with her fingers to press a pit, she wanted to know what was going on? What should I do?

Doctor's Analysis] Judging from Ms. Zhang's description, it should be caused by the accumulation of excessive water in the space between human tissues, which is simply the water seeping out from the blood vessels to the outside of the blood vessels, which is commonly known as edema, edema can occur both throughout the body and locally, and edema of the lower limbs and ankles belongs to local edema.

Edema is certainly an abnormal pathological phenomenon, and there are many reasons for edema, especially in people with diabetes mellitus, who are at high risk of edema, which often indicates that interventions are inappropriate or complications occur, such as:

Dystrophic edemaSome people with diabetes control are too strict about their diet, not only rarely eat staple foods, but also eat too little high-protein foods such as meat, milk and eggs, resulting in hypoproteinemia due to protein deficiency in the body, and the osmotic pressure of blood is reduced, and water will leak out of the blood vessels and accumulate resulting in edema.

Edema of peripheral neuropathyThis is one of the most common complications of diabetes, which is caused by hyperglycemia damaging distal small blood vessels, which in turn damage nerve endings, and peripheral blood vessels dilate and congest and exudate, resulting in edema, which mostly occurs in both lower limbs. Because of the damage to the nerve endings, edema occurs and is accompanied by numbness and tingling in the lower legs.

Infectious edema of the feetPeople with diabetes have poor blood circulation at the end of the limbs, and it is difficult to heal when there are small wounds and cause infection, and the typical characteristics of inflammation are redness, swelling, heat, and pain, and it is necessary to carefully check whether the feet have inflammation.

Edema of deep venous lesions of the lower extremitiesLong-term hyperglycemia can lead to valvular lesions in the deep veins of the lower limbs, insufficiency, poor blood return, and stasis in the lower limbs, causing edema; In addition, a large amount of stagnant blood may also form blood clots, clog blood vessels, and make edema worse. This usually occurs on one side, or the degree of edema varies on both sides.

Edema of renal lesionsAtherosclerosis occurs in small blood vessels of the kidneys due to hyperglycemia, and hypoproteinemia caused by a large amount of protein loss causes edema, mostly generalized edema, and obvious swelling can also be seen on the face. This condition indicates that the damage to the kidneys has reached a certain level, and it has progressed to the later stages of diabetic nephropathy.

Heart disease becomes edemaWhen diabetes causes cardiac insufficiency, the blood circulation of the whole body becomes poor, a large amount of blood accumulates throughout the body, and symmetrical edema occurs in the legs, which is often accompanied by uncomfortable symptoms such as palpitation, shortness of breath, and chest tightness.

After examination, it was found that the main reasons for Ms. Zhang's edema of her lower limbs and ankles were unreasonable dietary control, serious intake of protein and vitamins, and diabetic peripheral neuropathy, which required measures to strengthen nutrition and nutrition on the basis of strict control of blood sugar.

For people with diabetes, to prevent diabetic nephropathy, don't skip meat and beans in three meals a day.
