What are the symptoms of sugar reticulation? How is it treated?

Retinopathy may be asymptomatic in the early stages and requires prompt screening to detect it. After the lesion worsens, the patient may present with the following symptoms:

Decreased vision. Abnormal color.

Blurred vision. A dark shadow in front of you.

If you have any of the above problems, seek medical attention immediately.

How to prevent diabetic retinopathy?

Although retinopathy is serious, it is preventable, easy to screen, and has good early results. Studies have confirmed that early fundus screening in diabetic patients significantly reduces the risk of blindness.

Patients with mild lesions need regular fundus examinations;

Patients with moderate lesions can be injected with drugs to improve their vision, or laser** can be used to stop the progression of the lesions;

Patients with severe lesions can undergo vitreous and retinal surgery to remove blood accumulation and restore the normal shape and function of the retina.

Therefore, if diabetic patients develop retinopathy, they should control diabetes as soon as possible, pay attention to correct diet, control blood pressure and blood sugar, avoid strenuous exercise, and have regular checkups. Only a combination of the two can reduce the damage to vision.

My dad has a sugar net, I heard him say, in addition to the worsening eyesight, there will be black suspended matter in front of his eyes, and there are double visions in sight, but fortunately, his condition is not very serious, he has been recuperating at home for a few months, and his blood sugar control is stable while taking Volitin on time every day, and his condition is much better.

Diabetic retinopathy is short for retinopathy caused by diabetes, which is of course related to diabetes. Long-term hyperglycemia changes blood composition, which directly leads to metabolic disorders, causing abnormalities in vascular tissue, and the first thing that damages the microcirculatory system is the microcirculation system. This is also a typical symptom of diabetes.

If blood sugar and blood pressure can be controlled at a near-normal level, the incidence of sugar reticulation can be reduced by 70%, and the development of sugar reticulation can be slowed down by 54% of those who have diabetes reticulation. High blood pressure can directly cause retinal damage, especially if there is bleeding. Drugs**, lasers**.

Traditional Chinese medicine starts with quenching thirst. In the 80s of the last century, Zhong Xueli led the clinical hospitals of five universities in China to cooperate with France to discover effective drugs such as Coptis chinensis, Astragalus membranaceus, and honeysuckle. In the late 90s, Nie Wentao pointed out that thirst is a high-consumption stress, and high-consumption stress is closely related to eye diseases.

Traditional Chinese medicine mostly uses TCM syndrome differentiation and treatment for diabetic retinopathy in the early stage. Yin deficiency, dryness and heat type: symptoms include thirst and excessive drinking, eliminating grain and hunger, and red and yellow tongue.

Fundus examination: retinal hemorrhage, edema, exudate. It is advisable to nourish yin and clear heat.

Recipe use: Jade girl decoction (raw land, Zhimu, wheat winter, gypsum, hyssop); Liquid-increasing white tiger soup (shengdi, yuan ginseng, wheat winter, zhimu, gypsum, japonica rice, licorice); Nourishing yin and nourishing qi soup (raw land, ginseng, wheat winter, asparagus, jade bamboo, zhimu, raw gypsum, astragalus, licorice). Blood stasis obstruction type:

The disease is long, hot burning blood, blood stasis and eyes, retinal hemorrhage in the fundus, long-term non-absorption, and even vitreous hemorrhage, purple and dark tongue or ecchymosis and petechiae. It is advisable to cool the blood and invigorate the blood, and the prescription is used: rhino horn and rehmannia soup with flavor (rhino horn or buffalo horn instead, raw land, white peony, danpi, salvia, wheat winter, ginseng, notoginseng powder, madder root).

Kidney yin deficiency type: symptoms of dry mouth and weakness, soreness and weakness of waist and knees, pale tongue, pale or little lichen, retinal hemorrhage, exudation, edema or organization of the fundus, it is advisable to nourish yin and nourish the kidney, and use liquid increasing decoction and Liuwei Dihuang pills (Shengdi, Yuanshen, Maidong, Yam, Zexiao, Poria cocos, Shanqi meat, Danpi) or Liuwei Dihuang Tang plus ligustrum, lotus grass, Zhimu, and Phellodendron chinensis. For retinopathy and diabetic cataract, early administered Chinese patent medicines Dendrobium Luminous Pill, Mingmu Dihuang Pill, and Qiju Dihuang Pill also have certain curative effects; For patients with retinal hemorrhage, Yunnan Baiyao can be taken; For those who have long-term fundus bleeding and are not absorbed, intravenous infusion of Danshen injection has a certain curative effect.

1. Control blood sugar. It is the key to diabetic retinopathy, so that the fundus lesion is photocoagulation and brightening, and the new lesion does not exist. If the blood sugar rises again, it may be in other parts of the retina, especially the macular part, and produce new lesions, macular edema, will still cause further deterioration of vision, only proper control of blood sugar, so that blood sugar is no longer high in order to stabilize the lesions of the fundus, the use of traditional Chinese medicine to regulate blood sugar in the body, in order not to exert pressure on the eyes, pure Chinese medicine Hengji Yuetai capsule can relieve the pain, and from the root of diabetes.

2. Control blood pressure. Hypertension is an important risk factor for early retinopathy, and special attention should be paid to diabetic patients with hypertension to actively control blood pressure within the normal range. 3. Control blood lipids.

The rapid occurrence of retinal exudation is often combined with an increase in total cholesterol, LDL and triglycerides, so in order to prevent the occurrence of retinopathy, it is also necessary to actively control blood lipid problems. 4. A low-fat, low-salt, high-protein diet and more vegetable oil can reduce "hard exudation" and improve diabetic retinopathy. For obese diabetic patients, it is also necessary to control the total calories and reduce body weight.

5. When there is retinopathy, it is necessary to avoid strenuous exercise, otherwise it is easy to cause fundus hemorrhage, and pay more attention to omental lesions. 6. Regular fundus examination: the early clinical symptoms of the disease are not obvious, and it is easy to miss the diagnosis.

For diabetic patients with a long course of disease, regardless of whether there is vision loss or not, the fundus should be examined with the help of ophthalmoscopes, slit lamps, three-sided mirrors and other instruments, which is the best way to detect the disease early.

1) Medical history: A detailed medical history is crucial. In addition to the typical manifestations of diabetes such as polydipsia, polyphagia, polyuria, and weight loss, attention should also be paid to understanding the course of diabetes.

The longer the course of the disease, the higher the incidence and severity of diabetic retinopathy. In particular, the time of detection of some diabetes does not represent the real time of illness, because the systemic symptoms are not obvious, and the actual course of diabetes is often long when it is discovered. Blood glucose and urine glucose tests are important to understand how well diabetes is controlled.

2) Fundus examination: Fundus examination is the main means of diagnosing diabetic retinopathy. Microaneurysms and/or minor hemorrhages are always the first to appear and compare the exact signs of retinopathy.

A yellowish-white, waxy, hard exudate plaque indicates abnormal vascular function, increased permeability, and escaping blood components. White soft exudate, on the other hand, indicates severe microcirculation disturbance and severe vascular destruction. There is no neovascularization at this stage, so it is called a simple lesion.

As the disease progresses, multiple focal or extensive retinal hypoperfusion at this stage is indicative of imminent neovascularization. From the beginning of neovascularization, that is, entering the proliferative phase, it indicates that the retinal circulation can no longer compensate for the lack of oxygen to the tissues.

3) Special examination: Diabetic retinopathy has some subclinical changes before the fundus lesions, such as abnormal fluorescence morphology, retinal electrophysiology and visual contrast sensitivity, etc., all of which have reference value for early diagnosis. During the progression of the lesion, the special manifestations of fundus fluorescein angiography are of great significance for the diagnosis and staging of the disease.

Abbreviation for "diabetic retinopathy", diabetes causes retinal vascular disorders. The incidence of the condition increases with the duration of diabetes. About 60% of patients with diabetes for more than 15 years will have damage to the blood vessels in the eye, among them:
