Do you think diabetes is just a rise in blood sugar so simple? wrong! The reason why diabetes makes the clinic pay so much attention, and patients need to be actively treated after diagnosis.
It is because it seems that type 2 diabetes currently has no symptoms, but it can cause damage to multiple organs and tissues in the body, inducing a variety of complications.
So far, more than 100 diabetes-related complications have been clinically identified, including hyperlipidemia!
The so-called hyperlipidemia, in the clinic, the full name is hyperlipoproteinemia, which refers to the high level of blood lipids, which is also the most common form of dyslipidemia.
Hyperlipidemia is clinically divided into two categories: primary and secondary, and in secondary hyperlipidemia, diabetes is the most important risk factor.
Studies have shown that there is a close link between human glucose metabolism and fat metabolism, and nearly 40% of all diabetic patients in the mainland can be secondary to hyperlipidemia.
Moreover, diabetics are prone to fall into various misunderstandings when managing blood lipids, such as the following four are more common:
1, no symptoms are fine: in the eyes of many people, as long as the disease finds itself, there will definitely be symptoms.
But in fact, whether it is the early stage of type 2 diabetes, or mildly hyperlipidemia, there is usually no discomfort.
That is, no symptoms does not mean that blood lipids are not high. Similarly, the fact that hyperlipidemia has no symptoms does not mean that it is not harmful.
It is one of the main risk factors for promoting atherosclerosis and causing cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases;
2, control blood sugar on the line: this is also a lot of people are easy to fall into the misunderstanding, in the patient's view, diabetes complications are based on the blood sugar out of control on the basis of appearing, as long as the blood sugar control is stable, naturally there will be no hyperlipidemia.
As we all know, diabetes mellitus with hyperlipidemia is not only affected by a factor of blood sugar loss, but also the high-risk factors that coexist with the two are also the main reasons, such as unhealthy diet and living habits, obesity, etc. Therefore, stable glycemic control does not equal stable lipid control;
3. Blood lipids can be used out of control: after diabetes mellitus is combined with high blood lipids, doctors often recommend that patients take various drugs to control blood lipids.
Some patients believe that as long as there is drug control, they can sit back and relax. As everyone knows, whether it is diabetes or hyperlipidemia, it is not possible to solve the problem simply by relying on drugs.
The treatment of hyperlipidemia needs to be adjusted from many aspects, medication is only a part, patients also need to adjust their personal diet, reduce cholesterol and lipid intake, consume calories through exercise, and control weight, so that blood lipids can be gradually stabilized;
4. Only pay attention to blood lipid examination: Some patients only pay attention to regular screening of blood lipids and blood sugar, and do not pay too much attention to other examinations.
As everyone knows, blood sugar, blood lipids, blood pressure, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular, and heart all affect each other.
If you just screen for blood sugar and lipids, you will not get accurate results.
Therefore, in addition to these two indicators, patients also need to check their heart health, blood pressure and other aspects regularly according to the doctor's recommendations.
Finally, it should be emphasized that there are many types of complications of diabetes, and they all interact with blood pressure, blood lipids, and cardiovascular and cerebrovascular health.
In addition, diabetes can cause damage to many organs and tissues such as the heart, brain, eyes, kidneys, and feet.
Therefore, as long as diabetes is diagnosed, it should cooperate with the doctor for active treatment and regular review.
