When it comes to diabetes, many people feel far away from them.
However, in the past 20 years, the incidence of diabetes in the mainland 15-49-year-old population has increased by more than 60%, continuing to be in a trend of rejuvenation, and the number of people with diseases has continued to increase, with the number of confirmed cases exceeding 130 million.
Diabetes has become one of the most common chronic diseases of our time.
The trouble is that this disease, the symptoms are not obvious, it is easy to miss a better time for prevention and treatment. In fact, as soon as the body's blood sugar becomes high, you can find the clues by careful observation!
When the blood sugar is high, 5 kinds of body changes come to the door
Some people say that there is a change in blood sugar, but the body is not painful or itchy, if it is not examined, I do not know that I am sick.
In fact, our bodies are very sensitive to blood sugar levels, and once there is an abnormality, it will give you hints in some details.
1, good appetite, fast hunger
In diabetic patients, insulin will be abnormal, and cells cannot fully absorb the glucose accumulated in the blood to produce the energy that the body needs.
Therefore, I often feel very hungry, and I will feel hungry repeatedly as my blood sugar rises further.
2. Polyuria
This part of the glucose that cannot be taken up by the cells is excreted in the form of urine, and the higher the blood sugar, the more urine there is.
3. Total thirst
Because there is more urine, a lot of water in the body is lost, and it will become easy to thirst.
4, eat more and become thinner
The body is difficult to use the sugar in the blood, so it has to break down the fat and protein stored before to supply energy, so even if you eat a lot, you still become thinner.
5. Changes in vision
If there is an inexplicable decline in visual acuity, or a sudden change in myopia and farsightedness, be alert to whether diabetes is coming!
Because high blood sugar can cause changes in the osmolality of the lens of the eye, vision changes.
When the body has abnormal blood sugar, if not paid attention to, diabetes will further develop, will cause serious harm to the body, such as cardiovascular disease, kidney disease, and other complications, such as diabetic foot, and even the need for amputation.
Therefore, if there is a problem, we must seek medical treatment to check blood glucose in time to achieve early treatment and early control of diabetes.
