What are the direct dangers of high blood sugar to the body?

Short-term hazards are mainly acute complications, such as ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia and hyperosmolar state, which can be fatal if not treated in the short term. In addition, diabetic patients are often accompanied by symptoms of hypoglycemia, which is not treated and is also fatal. The long-term harm is mainly a variety of chronic complications, such as diabetic fundus lesions, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic foot, diabetic periodontal disease, etc.

Symptoms usually include dry mouth, blurred vision, foamy urine, arteriosclerosis, numbness and tingling of limbs, itching, abnormal sweating, recurrent constipation or diarrhea, swollen and sore gums, etc., which will occur under long-term high blood sugar.

The hazards of hyperglycemia are mainly divided into acute hazards and chronic hazards. Acute harm causes acute complications of glucose, diabetic ketoacidosis, hyperglycemia and hyperosmolar state. These two diseases, if not actively active in the short term, may induce life-threatening complications.

Chronic harm refers to the long-term chronic hyperglycemia that is not treated in time, which harms various organs of the body, such as damage to the microcirculation of the eyes, retinal lesions, kidney damage, and damage to the blood vessels of the lower limbs, resulting in peripheral neuropathy becoming diabetic foot. There is also damage to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, causing coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, myocardial infarction, etc. In addition, it can also cause damage to some nerves, causing lesions of the central nervous system, peripheral nerves, and autonomic nerves.

People with high blood sugar or poor diabetic blood sugar control will only feel tightness in the chest for this disease, and will not have an obvious feeling that it is easy to delay the condition and be life-threatening, and for diabetic foot, it is because the nervous system is not sensitive, and the footsteps lose pain, so the injury is difficult to find, and because the blood sugar is high, it is not only not easy to heal the wound, but also breeds bacteria, which is why the diabetic foot is very serious. Therefore, if the blood sugar is only slightly high, it must be controlled in time, prediabetes can reverse diabetes, and if you have diabetes, you must control blood sugar within a reasonable range, which can delay the arrival of complications.

In the process of a diabetic patient's blood sugar rising sharply, it will be accompanied by metabolic disorders and excessive water and electrolyte excretion. When the body's metabolic disorder is severe to a certain extent, the body will have an obvious state of low energy metabolism, in which case the body will abnormally decompose proteins and fats to provide the body's energy needs, and acidic metabolites such as lactic acid and oxybutyrate will appear in the decomposition of proteins and fats, which is easy to induce acidosis. In the process of rapid increase in blood sugar, the body will have a hypertonic diuretic effect, in this case, a large amount of water excreted from the body will cause the body to be in a state of dehydration, if in this case, the body can not get effective water replenishment will induce hypertonic injury, such acute complications can lead to death in a short period of time if not treated.

What are the direct dangers of high blood sugar to the body? If blood sugar remains high for a long time and is not controlled, it will cause the burden of pancreas secreting insulin, blood sugar is becoming more and more difficult to control, and high blood sugar will also cause damage to the nervous system, leading to diabetes, and if blood sugar is not controlled or not well controlled, it will also accelerate the arrival of diabetic complications, such as diabetic foot, diabetic eye disease, diabetic nephropathy and heart disease.

The rise of blood sugar often occurs unconsciously, and patients who are often seen due to cerebral infarction, myocardial infarction, etc., are diagnosed as caused by diabetes, but this consequence is not caused by a short-term increase in blood sugar, it is caused by long-term hyperglycemia that causes damage to the vascular endothelium, a large amount of fat is deposited on it and causes a series of inflammatory reactions, fat degeneration and rupture of the normal structure of blood vessels, resulting in atherosclerosis and plaque, blockage of blood vessels and causing ischemia and hypoxia of surrounding tissues and organs. Studies have shown that diabetics without ** will have various complications after about 5 years, and severe cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases will occur for a longer time.

High blood sugar can cause ischemia and hypoxia of nerve cells, which can damage the nervous system and cause neuropathy. Neuropathy due to hyperglycemia can involve nerves throughout the body, including central neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, and autonomic neuropathy. Of these, peripheral nerve and autonomic neuropathy are the most common.

Diabetic hyperosmolar coma, blood sugar rises sharply, so that the osmotic pressure of blood sugar increases, a large amount of water in the surrounding tissue cells due to the effect of osmotic pressure dehydration, not only leads to a rapid increase in blood pressure, and water is the source of life, after cell dehydration, physiological activities can not be carried out normally, the body's various functions are disordered, life will be threatened, diabetic hyperosmolar coma once the mortality rate is very high.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is caused by a sharp rise in blood sugar, which inhibits the body's metabolism of blood sugar, and the body has to provide the energy needed for physiological activities by decomposing fat, etc., and fat will produce toxic ketone bodies and other metabolites when decomposed in large quantities, which will damage tissue cells and can be life-threatening in severe cases.

Blood sugar, the glucose contained in the blood, is the energy that maintains the normal functioning of various organs and tissues in the human body**. However, high blood sugar can cause symptoms such as dizziness, fatigue, increased appetite, thirst, and polydipsia and polyuria. If the blood sugar concentration is too high for a long time, it can also cause a variety of diseases.

Below, "Ask the Doctor" will tell you about the 4 possible effects of high blood sugar on the body.

For the treatment of acute complications of diabetes, it is generally recommended that patients take prevention as the main daily life to standardize hypoglycemia and increase water intake, if there is a typical increase in thirst, increased water intake and increased urination, it is necessary to go to the hospital for routine blood sugar and urine routine examination, so as to achieve the early stage of acute complications and avoid serious consequences.

Elevated blood sugar can not be controlled in time, whether it is in the short term or in the long run, it can cause harm to the body, and it must not be taken lightly, it has been proved that as long as the blood sugar is effectively controlled, diabetics can enjoy normal life expectancy like normal people, the key is the attitude towards high blood sugar.

Sugar friends need to pay attention to the management of high blood sugar, use good diet and medication and cooperate with exercise, adhere to long-term blood sugar control standards, and control glycation, blood pressure, blood lipids, creatinine and other comprehensive indicators, so as to reduce the risk of chronic complications as much as possible. It needs to be emphasized that we must adhere to regular medicines**, do not replace drugs with health products, and do not believe in various so-called hypoglycemic teas and old Chinese medicine remedies, and learning more diabetes knowledge is the king.
