Diabetic Complications In Diabetic Patients "killer"

Diabetes, known as the second killer in modern diseases, the health hazards of second cancers. However, diabetes itself does not kill people, the real killer is the complications of diabetes. So, diabetic complications, what does? What is the treatment of diabetes?
Diabetes, known as the second killer in modern diseases, the health hazards of second cancers. However, diabetes itself does not kill people, the real killer is the complications of diabetes. So, diabetic complications, what does? What is the treatment of diabetes?
According to the World Health Organization statistics, the complications of diabetes up to more than 100, the highest mortality in patients with complications of diabetes is the brain lesions, 50%, followed by kidney disease, accounting for 10% of amputations due to complications caused by the 85 %, retinopathy 95%. Diabetes incidence of brain lesions in non-diabetic person more than one times, more common in China than in Western countries, with duration of diabetes and poor blood glucose control are closely related.
Characteristics of the ischemic lesion is more common. Mainly intestinal thrombosis, cerebral hemorrhage are rare. In cerebral infarction patients, small artery disease is more common than the trunk, and the disease is often prone. Vertebral - basilar artery system more than the carotid artery is involved. Recurrent stroke patients. Diabetics prone to thrombosis, which is due to increased blood viscosity, erythrocyte aggregation and enhanced platelet adhesion to the vessel wall or the aggregation of platelets function to enhance each other and other causes. Clinical often due to repeated episodes of mild stroke stubborn hemiplegia, dementia and ataxia and other symptoms.
The highest mortality caused by complications of diabetes is a brain lesion, accounting for half. Followed by kidney disease, accounting for 10% of amputations due to complications caused by 85%, retinopathy 95%. Therefore, prevention of diabetes complications, especially brain lesions, patients with diabetes has become the most concern.
Brain lesions of diabetes prevention measures are:
(1) should be noted that the usual diabetes control blood pressure, blood glucose and lipid conditions for the early diabetic microangiopathy to be corrected as soon as possible to prevent atherosclerosis and hypertension further development.
(2) should be determined to quit smoking and drinking. In addition, the long-term obesity hyperinsulinemia, may promote the occurrence of atherosclerosis, therefore, should be eating low-fat, low cholesterol and high protein, high vitamin content of food and proper exercise, trying to lose weight.
(3) in the treatment of diabetes, the need to prevent hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar due to repeated low glucose metabolism, cerebrovascular disease recurrence may be an important reason.
(4) Note the prevention of infection.
(5) patients with cerebrovascular disease in general, the rehabilitation must be done as soon as possible, but in diabetic patients, should be especially vigilant against orthostatic hypotension, training should be gradual.
(6) may be appropriate to use Traditional Chinese medicine or a low molecular weight dextran, aspirin and other anti-platelet aggregation drugs, can improve blood viscosity and platelet adhesion, contribute to prevention and treatment of cerebrovascular disease.
