Why do people with diabetes have wounds on their bodies that don t heal for a long time? Why?

The wounds on diabetic people recover more slowly than normal wounds, mainly due to the following components. First, the body immunity of diabetic patients is lower than that of normal people, and they are prone to the phenomenon of some small blood vessels. If the blood vessels are too thin, the blood cannot circulate, and even the body will be hindered.

No matter how many nutrients you eat, you can't replenish your body. If the amount of blood is too low, the wound will not heal at all, and even after it has grown, it must be prevented from dehiscating again. People with second diabetes are likely to develop some bacteria in the wound because of the slower blood circulation.

As more and more bacteria grow, there is no way for the wound to continue to grow. Thirdly, a long-term lack of some nutrients may also make the wound always grow badly. <>

If diabetics want to get better quickly, they must eat more foods that contain protein and vitamins. By transferring the nutrients that the body lacks to the wound in time, the repair effect can be better and better. You can choose to eat an egg and drink a glass of milk for breakfast, and you can choose to eat more fresh fruits and vegetables at noon.

After persisting for a while, you can find that the wound has been healing, and there is no inflammation. <>

If the blood sugar of a diabetic person is too high, the wound will not be able to heal. Usually eat some low-salt and low-oil foods and drink more hot water. People in the family should not feel that if they are injured, they should make up for it, and high blood sugar is also a fatal risk after eating too much.

Because nutrients will be gradually converted into glucose in the body, the diuretic effect cannot be achieved. There is a risk of dehydration at any time if you do not urinate, and there is no benefit to the patient's wound. Drink more white porridge and even eat more green vegetables.

In general, diabetic people are weaker than ordinary people, so they must pay attention to timely cleaning and care for wounds. Be sure to wrap it in gauze when you go out, because some bacteria can also appear in the dust. If you go home and use some nursing stuff after you get infected, you won't be able to get rid of the bacteria on it.

Only by protecting the wound can it grow slowly.

Wounds in diabetic patients are often difficult to heal, mainly because high blood sugar affects the abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, thus not providing adequate material support such as protein for wound healing. In addition, the disease leads to a decrease in the phagocytic capacity of white blood cells, making the wound susceptible to bacterial infection, and the ability of cells to transport oxygen is weakened, affecting healing. <>

Diabetes mellitus predisposes to impaired tissue repair function. The cause of diabetes mellitus is the abnormal regulation of insulin secretion, which weakens the body's ability to metabolize sugar, making it difficult to make better use of sugar, making it difficult to convert it into protein or other substances normally. However, wound healing often needs to go through the process of formation from granulation tissue to collagen fibers, which requires sufficient tissue factors and proteins as support, which is inevitably hindered by diabetes.

As a result, the phagocytic capacity of white blood cells decreases, and the blood sugar concentration in diabetic patients will remain in a higher state, which will adversely affect the immunity of the entire body, which may lead to a significant decrease in immunity. In particular, the phagocytic ability of the patient's leukocytes will be greatly reduced, and the number of leukocytes will also be reduced, which will affect normal healing when the ** wound is prone to infection. <>

Diabetes also makes wounds susceptible to infection. The body environment of hyperglycemia will provide a good environment for the growth and reproduction of bacteria and a variety of pathogens, especially susceptible to infections by pathogenic bacteria such as Escherichia coli and Streptococcus pneumoniae. At this time, once the patient has a wound on the body, there is a possibility of bacteria invading, causing the wound to become inflamed and infected, and it may not heal properly.

If a diabetic person is more severely injured, especially if the wound is larger, the healing rate will be slower. This also applies to normal people, but it is most pronounced in diabetes. At the same time, due to the decrease in the oxygen transport capacity of cells, it will affect the healing of tissues at the injured site, and oxidative stress can easily cause tissue damage, leading to cell death, which in turn hinders wound recovery.

At this time, if a diabetic patient is injured, he must be sent to the doctor in time and carefully clean the wound to prevent bacterial infection.

This is also a complication of diabetes, the main reason why the wound of diabetic patients does not heal is that the patient's blood sugar control is not very ideal, the blood sugar is high, and the hyperglycemic state is a good medium for bacteria and viruses, which is conducive to the proliferation of bacteria, and the phenomenon of infection will occur.

1.Infection: The blood sugar content in the wound of diabetic patients is high, and blood sugar is a very good bacterial culture medium, so when the blood sugar content in the interstitial fluid is high, a large number of bacteria will breed at the wound site, resulting in wound infection, which is not conducive to healing;

2.Extravasation of interstitial fluid: The blood glucose content in the tissue fluid of the wound of diabetic patients is high, resulting in extravasation of interstitial fluid, which greatly reduces the adhesion ability of tissues;

3.Peripheral vascular damage: Diabetic patients are often accompanied by peripheral vascular damage, which leads to poor blood circulation and poor blood supply at the wound site after peripheral vascular lesions;

4.Insufficient protein synthesis: Long-term disorders of fat, sugar, and protein metabolism in diabetic patients will lead to insufficient protein synthesis to promote wound healing.

There are many reasons that affect wound healing, and high blood sugar is just one of them. For diabetic patients wound non-healing should also be analyzed on a case-by-case basis, Director Yuan Minqin of diabetic foot also said that each patient's physical condition is different, and the method of acceptance is different. For example, the control of blood sugar, blood and blood lipids, there are cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, and those without debridement should be debrided as soon as possible.

Diabetic wounds tend to heal more slowly than they do. Because the immunity of diabetic patients is relatively low, the bacteria latent in the wound will multiply again, which can easily cause re-infection of the wound. Especially when the wound site is located in the foot, improper treatment will develop into diabetic foot, which will make the patient inconvenient, affect the quality of life, and in severe cases, may lead to amputation, disability and even death.

In this case, it is recommended that it is best to go to a specialized hospital, especially to accept the open method of integrating traditional Chinese and Western medicine, so that the wound can heal as soon as possible to avoid aggravation.

Health: Is it difficult for diabetic patients to heal wounds? One way to promote wound recovery is simple and practical.

Soak the wound with warm water mixed with potassium permanganate for 50 minutes.

If you want to take a shortcut, it won't work at all, because the wounds of diabetics are very complex and much more difficult than common wounds. For example, patients not only have infections, but also lower limb vascular lesions, decreased blood oxygen saturation, and some patients also have high blood pressure and high blood lipids, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction... These all affect the wound **. Tell everyone that in addition to the wound itself, all health problems on the patient's body need to be a**, which involves a multidisciplinary joint diagnosis model, and it is recommended to go to a professional diabetic foot hospital to find a professional doctor**, such as Shangqiu Yuan Minqin.

Finally, I wish you a good day**!

Non-healing wounds are a symptom specific to diabetics because of the high blood sugar levels in diabetic patients for a long time, resulting in an increase in the osmotic pressure of extracellular fluid and water leaking out of the cells; Glucose, on the other hand, is excreted from the urine, forming an osmotic diuresis that excretes excess water and electrolytes through the urine. In this way, dehydration may occur both inside and outside the cells, affecting the healing of the wound. Poor blood sugar control in diabetes reduces the body's ability to destroy bacteria, and hyperglycemia reduces the ability of cells to transport oxygen to tissues, which also affects wound healing.

So it seems that it is just a problem of high blood sugar, so to make the wound heal, is it just a matter of lowering blood sugar? Of course, lowering blood sugar is necessary, but in cases where wound ulceration has already occurred, lowering blood sugar alone is not enough. Even if the blood sugar drops, the wound will not heal on its own.

In order for diabetic patients to heal wounds quickly, they need to carry out a systematic integration of traditional Chinese and Western medicine**. On the basis of stabilizing blood sugar, debridement, anti-infection, improving circulation, nourishing nerves, removing saprophytic muscles are indispensable, and only by improving the overall function of the patient's body can the wound heal quickly. Therefore, diabetic patients should never think that as long as they lower blood sugar or take hanging injections, or apply ointment, and some people even think that there are some home remedies and other wipes.

These are all incorrect, and we advise you not to blindly seek medical treatment or deal with it yourself, but to go to a regular specialist hospital for systematic synthesis**.

Modern elemental medicine research has found that there is an abnormal deficiency of zinc in the diabetic body, and the wound healing ability is slow after zinc deficiency, which is easy to cause infection and tissue liquefaction, which is the main reason for the ulceration of diabetes. A large number of clinical studies have proved that zinc supplementation** can significantly accelerate the healing of wounds. Therefore, we use qi to nourish yin, clear away heat and dampness, detoxify and invigorate blood.

In addition: diabetics have high sugar content in their blood and thick blood, so blood circulation is not good, especially in the peripheral limbs. If there is a wound, especially a wound on the limbs, it is difficult for the wound to heal because the blood circulation is not good, and the medicine and nutrition cannot reach the wound through the blood circulation well.

Hyperglycemia leads to damage to the peripheral nerves of the human body, and the secretion of neurotrophic factors decreases, and neurotrophic factors are very important factors to promote wound healing, so the end result leads to slow wound healing! Due to the above reasons, it is very important for diabetic patients to control their blood sugar after surgery or injury, and insulin with clear and easy control effect is generally used to control blood sugar, which is also the reason for using insulin!

Vascular circulatory disorders are common in most people with long-term diabetes, because diabetic people tend to have elevated blood fat, and blood vessels are prone to hardening and blockage, so that the blood flow to the lower limbs is insufficient. The function of blood is to transport nutrients to all tissues of the body, and at the same time, to transport the waste products produced by various tissues out of the body.

The initial symptoms of circulatory disorders in the feet are calf cramps that occur when walking, and if they continue to be severe, they will be cut or abrasions that will be difficult to heal. If the bacterial infection is added, the resistance and recovery ability of patients with poor diabetes control are already impaired, then the local wound becomes more and more unmanageable, and a small number of patients have to sacrifice the toes or other parts of the foot.

The most important step to avoid neurological and vascular disorders is to control blood sugar, and if blood sugar control is poor, all further methods are useless. Therefore, good blood glucose control can not only avoid the occurrence of neurological and vascular disorders, but also avoid the deterioration of those that have already occurred, and even speed up the recovery, which also allows further treatment to be effective.

<> minor cuts, burns, and scratches are part of everyday life and are normal. But for people with diabetes, they can lead to serious and even fatal injuries.

This is because many diabetic wounds heal very slowly or do not heal at all. These wounds that don't heal are likely to become infected. The infection can spread locally to surrounding tissues and bones, or further to certain areas of the body.

In some extreme cases, they can even be life-threatening.

For example, about 15% of people with diabetes are affected by diabetic foot ulcers, which can eventually lead to amputation of the leg and foot. Even if the wound is not infected and does not have to be amputated, it can affect their health and quality of life. Injuries to the legs and feet can be so painful that you can't walk or exercise.

But why is that? Why does diabetes affect wound healing?

The answer is: diabetes makes it harder for the body to control blood sugar levels. When blood sugar remains high for a long time, it impairs the function of white blood cells, causing them to be unable to fight bacteria.

As a result, the injury heals more slowly or may not heal at all.

Nerve damage is another factor that affects wound healing. Uncontrolled blood sugar can damage the body's nerves, which means that people with diabetes may be more susceptible to trauma and not yet realize they are hurting. Without realizing that they were already injured, they were unable to seek ** in time, making the condition of the wound worse.

Other ways in which diabetes affects wound healing include weakening the production of hormones involved in growth and healing, reducing the production and repair of new blood vessels, weakening the barrier function, and leading to a decrease in collagen production.

Some people may think, "It's just a small wound anyway, and if it doesn't heal, it won't heal." However, if the wound is not **, it may become infected, and the infection may spread locally to the muscles and bones, which is called osteomyelitis. Deep infections can sometimes lead to amputation, and in addition to that, if the infection spreads into the bloodstream, it becomes sepsis and can be life-threatening.

To do this, we need to work hard to control blood sugar levels, as well as proper foot care and prompt wounds. Proper foot care includes: washing your feet daily, drying and applying moisturizing lotion, avoiding walking barefoot, carefully trimming your toenails, wearing comfortable shoes, checking your feet daily, checking your shoes, etc.

And, as diabetics, we should always check our bodies carefully. If a wound is found, it should be treated promptly. Although it is normal for diabetic wounds to heal slowly, if the wound persists for several days and does not scab, or if there is fluid oozing, causing fever, etc., you should see a doctor in time.
