There are many causes of hand numbness in daily life, such as maintaining a posture for a long time, which will cause numbness in the hands. However, if it is a diabetic hand numbness, it is necessary to cause a high degree of vigilance, which may represent that the body has induced other diseases, at this time the cause should be understood, especially when the hand anesthesia causes long-term compression of one limb of the body, it is necessary to see a doctor immediately.
After all, the treatment of different causes is different, after the analysis is clear, in order to determine the symptomatic treatment plan, the following to understand, why do diabetics have hand numbness?
First, cervical spondylosis
This is the most common disease that causes hand numbness, and it is also one of the common diseases in middle-aged and elderly people, and in recent years, this disease has a tendency to become younger.
This is due to long-term sedentary, abnormal neck posture, and excessive use of computers and mobile phones, which will lead to cervical disc degeneration, intervertebral disc herniation, and joint protrusion, resulting in joint compression of nearby cervical nerve roots, resulting in hand numbness. In order to judge this cause in the early stage, it is necessary to conduct an examination to determine whether it is caused by diabetes.
Second, peripheral neuritis
Hand anesthesia with pain, bilateral symmetry, and possibly peripheral neuritis can be caused by a variety of causes, including diabetes. Due to different etiologies and different clinical manifestations, if it is caused by diabetes, it should be caused by unstable blood glucose control.
According to clinical experience, it is believed that diabetic patients do not take drugs regularly, daily life and diet are unreasonable, and the probability of inducing peripheral neuritis is very high.
According to the above introduction, diabetic hand numbness is related to unstable blood sugar control, so how to prevent this situation?
First, exercise regularly
Exercise can improve the body's immunity, improve the function of the endocrine system, promote fat metabolism, and then achieve the purpose of slimming down and lowering blood sugar. Studies have shown that exercise for a period of time before meals is more effective in controlling blood sugar than a day's exercise.
Second, don't eat too much
A regular diet plan is of great significance for diabetics, such as eating fewer meals, eating more vegetables, and trying not to eat foods high in sugar and sucrose for a short period of time. This prevents blood sugar from rising for a short period of time and helps maintain pancreatic function, especially in patients with a family history of diabetes.
Third, regularly detect blood glucose
Blood glucose testing should be included in the routine physical examination of middle-aged and elderly people, and anyone with unstable diabetes should be diagnosed in time, such as skin abnormalities, hypofunction, low vision, polyuria and cataracts.
Fourth, develop reasonable living habits
A reasonable lifestyle can minimize the incidence of diabetes, since this is a non-infectious disease, although there are certain genetic factors, but the key factor is the environment, if the living environment and way of life is not good, it will lead to blood sugar rise.
Hand anesthesia prevention should be determined for the cause, if it is not caused by a disease, as long as you develop a reasonable lifestyle, such as avoiding long-term hanging head, cold and hand trauma, you can avoid it. However, if it is a hand anesthesia caused by a disease, the primary disease should be actively treated, such as diabetic patients who need to take long-term hypoglycemic drugs, and do not control blood sugar well, which can easily lead to complications.
Therefore, people with diabetes must have an understanding of these aspects of knowledge, and do not ignore the importance of blood sugar control, so as not to bring adverse effects.
