Can high blood sugar also cause numbness in the hands and feet?

Yes, according to statistics, about 40% of people with high blood sugar are the first to manifest themselves with numbness or even pain in the hands and feet. The main reason is that the nervous system is sensitive to hyperglycemia, and too much glucose makes the nervous system metabolic abnormal, causing autonomic neuropathy; The second is arteriosclerosis and thickening of small blood vessels due to disorders in blood glucose metabolism, resulting in a disorder of blood supply to the nervous system. These patients often learn that they have hyperglycemia when they go to a neurologist.

When people reach middle and old age, they may feel numbness in their hands and feet, and in this case, it is necessary to pay attention to whether the blood sugar level is elevated. The reason for numbness in the hands and feet is usually caused by poor blood circulation in the peripheral nerves of the fingers and toes, and the reason why it can be related to high blood sugar is because when the blood sugar rises, it will cause a series of metabolic disorders of nerve fibers, which may lead to peripheral neuropathy, which will cause numbness and pain at the end of the limbs.

Short-term high blood sugar generally does not cause numbness in the hands and feet, but if diabetes is not obtained for a long time, it may lead to peripheral nerve lesions, resulting in numbness in the hands and feet. After all, it is a three-point poison, everyone is not very willing to take hypoglycemic drugs for a long time, diet, and exercise are more familiar to everyone to control sugar, for the conditioning ** you may be a little unfamiliar, conditioning ** is mainly the use of white mushroom, straw mushroom, shiitake mushroom and cordyceps a variety of pure Chinese medicine combination of Xiangling mushroom powder.

Question 1: What to do if diabetic hands and feet are numb Many diabetic patients will have the same condition, that is, numbness and pain in the hands and feet, and it usually worsens at night, which has a great impact on the patient's life, and in severe cases, it will affect blood sugar control and aggravate the development of diabetic complications.

Analysis of the causes of numbness and pain in the hands and feet of diabetes.

Vascular lesions Capillary basement membrane thickening, vascular endothelial cell proliferation, hyaline degeneration, glycoprotein deposition narrows the lumen of small blood vessels, resulting in hypoxia of nerve tissue, coupled with the poor plasticity (deformability) of red blood dissection in diabetic patients, abnormal platelet function, and increased plasma viscosity, which promotes red blood cell aggregation and adhesion, and slows down the flow in capillaries, which is particularly easy to cause capillary blood binding blockage.

Neuropathy Long-term hyperglycemia can activate the polyol pathway of glucose metabolism, so that sorbitol accumulates in nerve cells, and sorbitol absorbs water in cells, making nerve cells edematous, affecting normal metabolism, resulting in impaired physiological functions of nerve cells and slowing down conduction velocity.

Neurotrophic factor reduction: Neurotrophic factor is one of the important polypeptide growth factors of the nervous system, especially nerve growth factor, which plays an important role in nerve development and differentiation, maintenance of normal function, and repair of nerve damage. If neurotrophic factors are reduced, nerve differentiation, function, and repair will be affected.

Diabetic neuropathy** Neuropathy Ladder**".

Step 1: "Completely simulates normal pancreas" for fast and smooth blood sugar control.

The "intelligent pancreatic ** system" is used to reduce blood sugar, which realizes the automatic sensing function of blood glucose concentration of normal pancreas and the basic continuous secretion and reactive secretion function of normal pancreas, which can quickly and smoothly control blood sugar to the normal range without the risk of hypoglycemic crisis. This makes it possible to correct the damaging nature of the hyperglycemic environment on nerve fibers, block or even reverse the further progression of neuropathy.

The second ladder: TCM typing and syndrome differentiation formula + local external Chinese medicine fumigation, both internal and external.

The third ladder: administration of neurotrophic factor and vasotrophin to repair neuropathy.

Question 2: Is it normal for diabetic patients to have numbness in the hands and feet Hello, according to the situation you described, diabetes is a manifestation of numbness and pain in the hands and feet, which is a complication of diabetes caused by damage to peripheral nerves. In this case, it is recommended that you regularly monitor the changes in blood sugar, then pay attention to rest, eat a reasonable diet to achieve a low-salt, low-fat and low-sugar diet, and regularly use drugs to control blood sugar levels.

Question 3: What is the reason for numbness in the hands and feet of diabetics Diabetics must have heart disease;

In the late stage, it is easy to form myocardial infarction or thrombosis and cerebral hemorrhage.

Diabetic hand numbness is characterized mainly by distal symmetrical hand numbness or foot numbness, commonly known as glove and sock set sensory disorder. Hand numbness in diabetic patients is mostly considered to be caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy among diabetic complications. Patients present with numbness in the hands, usually starting gradually and symmetrically from the distal ends, starting with the fingers, and most patients describe a glove-like distribution.

If the hand is numb on one side and is limited to a few fingers, it is necessary to rule out the compression of the nerves caused by cervical spondylosis caused by long-term work, and then it is necessary to consult an orthopedic department to rule out cervical spondylosis.

Hand numbness caused by diabetic peripheral neuropathy, if the diagnosis is clear, it is necessary to actively control blood sugar, strict blood sugar control, which is good for controlling the progression of neuropathy, and drugs to nourish the nerve, such as oral epalastat, methylcobalamin, vitamin B12, etc. If the condition is severe and typical, you can give intravenous infusion of zinc sulfate and methylcobalamin, a course of treatment, to observe the improvement of the condition, the application of some drugs to improve neuropathy can not completely ** hand numbness, can only make the condition improve to a certain extent, to slow down the progression of the disease.

I often have numbness in one arm for about 5 minutes, and then it's fine, I still don't know why!

Problem description: My mother has high blood pressure, and her heart is not very good, sometimes she feels dizzy, numbness in her fingers and toes, and joint pain, I have learned from the Internet that improper use of blood pressure medication will produce ***, she has taken Beijing blood pressure 0 and bezoar blood pressure pills, and sometimes she takes it with propranolol, is it right for her to take this medicine? And a few years ago, I had thyroid resistance, and the ascending chain width has been cured now, so do you need to consider this when using antihypertensive drugs now? I hope the experts will give answers, thank you!

Analysis: Not entirely related to high blood pressure.

Numbness of hands and feet is a common symptom in people's daily life, such as pregnancy, incorrect sleeping noisy and bright, and squatting in the toilet for a long time, which can be caused by a short period of time and will not be a major problem. However, some people have numbness in their hands and feet that cannot be relieved for a long time (more than a day), so they have to see a doctor. But which subject should I study?

Experts say that no matter what the cause of the numbness in the hands and feet is triggered, you should first seek medical attention from a neurologist.

There are generally four causes of numbness in the hands and feet:

One is that people with diabetes experience numbness in their hands and feet. As long as numbness, soreness, and swelling often occur in any part of the body, it is necessary to check the blood sugar in time, especially for the elderly.

The second is numbness caused by drugs or chemical agents. If you have a cold or diarrhea, taking berberine or dysentery will cause numbness in your hands and feet; If you stay in an environment containing hydrogen, arsenic, carbon disulfide and other conditions for a long time, you will also experience numbness in your hands and feet.

The third is numbness caused by neuritis. The most common symptoms of neuritis are numbness in the hands and feet, muscle atrophy, and weakness in the limbs. If you have diarrhea or a cold for half a month, it will cause neuritis.

Fourth, the limbs are scattered and numb. The numbness of the limbs is not at the same time, but scattered, which means that the local nerves are affected by **such as drunken stroke, coma caused by the head nerve, **the elderly crutches to the hand nerves, **cervical spondylosis caused by cervical spondylosis, **leg numbness caused by the lumbar shoulder nerve**, etc.

Numbness in the hands and feet cannot be symptomatic, but to ****. No matter what the cause of numbness in the hands and feet, you should first go to the neurology department of the hospital for examination to determine whether there is nerve damage and what kind of **

If it is a neurological problem, electromyography is also required to further confirm the extent, extent, and nature of the nerve damage. If the numbness of the hands and feet is caused by other reasons, it will be transferred to another relevant department**.

The numbness of the hands and feet caused by nerve injury should be selected according to the degree, scope and nature of the nerve injury. Medications** are usually combined with acupuncture and physiotherapy to promote rapid recovery. Surgery** is to remove the compressed nerve by surgically draining the compressed nerve.

Numbness in the hands and feet, usually at the ends of the limbs, i.e. fingers or toes. There may be numbness, and it may also be accompanied by a sensation such as pins and needles.

This is one of the common complications of diabetes, which is caused by poor peripheral blood circulation due to poor long-term blood sugar control.

You can try some Chinese medicine that invigorates blood circulation and dispels blood stasis. The most important thing is to control blood sugar. If you let it develop, the next step may be diabetic foot, so be careful!
