Today is November 14th, November 14th of each year is the United Nations Diabetes Day, hello everyone, I am a registered nutritionist Wang Qian, today I will give you some science about diabetes related knowledge.
Some diabetics know that their blood sugar is high, but they think that they don't feel it, they feel that it is no big deal, so they ignore it and tell you: in the long run, the complications of diabetes are inevitable!
So what are the complications of diabetes? Complications of diabetes are divided into microvascular and macrovascular complications, lesions occur in large blood vessels prone to cardiovascular and cerebrovascular lesions, leading to atherosclerosis, the occurrence of hypertension Coronary heart disease Cerebral infarction The probability of cerebral hemorrhage increases, etc. Lesions occur in microangios, which can easily lead to diabetic retinopathy, cataracts Fundus hemorrhage, and even blindness, lesions to peripheral nerves, resulting in numbness of the lower extremities, pain, severe diabetic feet, and even ulcer gangrene and amputation.
The development of diabetes is associated with many factors, including genetic age, sex, blood glucose control levels, the course of diabetes, and other cardiovascular risk factors. The following set of data is to show the prevalence of complications in patients with type 2 diabetes in China in 2013
Hypertension prevalence 41.3%
Cerebrovascular disease 17.3%
Coronary heart disease 25.1%
Lower extremity vascular lesions 9.3%
Kidney disease 39.7%
Retinopathy, 31.5%.
Neuropathy 51.1%.
The above is from a set of data from 2013,
Although this is a set of data, it is all from a living case. China is now a big country with diabetes, and diabetes complications have seriously endangered the health of patients, increasing the economic burden and mental burden of the family! We must pay attention to it, not only to have healthy eating habits, appropriate exercise, good lifestyle, regular monitoring of blood sugar, the use of drugs to listen to the doctor's advice to use drugs to actively treat, control blood sugar, stabilize blood sugar, and actively prevent the occurrence of complications!
Diabetes is not terrible, terrible is the complication.
I will share so much with you today, thank you for your support and attention!
