What's unusual about people with diabetes? Identify as early as possible and prevent problems before they happen
In recent years, the number of diabetic patients has increased, and the number of diabetic patients in my country has reached 113 million, accounting for one-fifth of the total number of patients in the world. Because the symptoms of pre-diabetes are not typical, many patients do not realize that their blood sugar is out of control until they develop diabetes complications and cause serious harm to the body.
When these abnormalities appear in the body, it means that the blood sugar level is already very high. Beware of the advent of diabetes!
- Increased skin disease
Continued elevation of blood sugar can lead to repeated skin diseases, such as frequent ulcers and inflammation, stubborn tinea corporis and itching on the skin surface; genital itching often occurs in women; these may be caused by diabetes and endocrine disorders. Infection due to decreased resistance. Therefore, if the above situation occurs, you should pay attention to check the blood sugar level to confirm whether diabetes occurs.
- Getting thirsty easily
When blood sugar rises, it will affect the cutaneous nerve receptors, and produce a signal of dry mouth and thirst, thereby stimulating the brain to issue a command to drink water. Therefore, if you suddenly drink a lot of water for a period of time, it may also be caused by high blood sugar. You must be vigilant and go to the hospital for examination in time.
- Numbness of hands and feet
Numbness in the hands and feet is a typical symptom of early diabetes. This is caused by peripheral neuropathy, these nerves are mainly responsible for the body's movement and sensation, but also control the normal operation of internal organs. The numbness caused by neuropathy is different from the usual numbness of the hands and feet. This type of anesthesia has certain characteristics, mainly symmetrical, developing from the bottom up, starting from the distal end, in addition to the numbness, there is also the feeling of ants crawling.
It can be seen that elevated blood sugar will bring many abnormalities. Then, some friends asked how much blood sugar should be controlled after a meal to be considered normal? When the blood sugar level is higher than the normal range, it is hyperglycemia. The reference range of normal blood sugar value: the normal value of fasting blood sugar is less than 6.1mmol/l, and the normal value of blood sugar 2 hours after meals is less than 7.8mmol/l. Blood sugar risk.
Too high blood sugar can easily lead to diabetes, kidney disease, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. How to control blood sugar and prevent complications?
- Insist on more exercise
For people with diabetes, exercise can improve human metabolism, nourish islet cells, and help blood sugar control. Walking, swimming, Tai Chi and other aerobic exercise have a certain effect on lowering blood sugar! However, I want to remind everyone that exercise should be gradual and persistent, and pay attention to protection to avoid injury, especially the protection of the feet to prevent diabetic foot complications!
2, work and rest rules, avoid staying up late
Nowadays, young people are under a lot of work pressure, and it is normal to stay up late. However, often staying up late will not only lead to a sharp decline in personal immunity, but also increase the risk of diabetes. Staying up late will lead to hormone disorders in the body, increase the content of glucocorticoids in the body, inhibit the function of pancreatic islets, and lead to increased blood sugar.
In summary, the early manifestations of diabetes are not typical and vary from person to person. Therefore, it is recommended that you find the above changes in your body, and if you are uneasy, consider the hospital for examination and diagnosis. Daily attention to lifestyle intervention, strictly prohibit smoking and drinking, eat more vegetables, and exercise reasonably can prevent diabetes in time.
