Diabetes is a chronic disease that requires long-term management and control. Although good physical condition can be maintained through diet, exercise and medication in daily treatment, once some symptoms appear, it means that the condition may have developed to a more serious level, and must be hospitalized immediately, and must not wait with luck. First, when people with diabetes develop unexplained severe hyperglycemia, they need to be hospitalized immediately. For example, the blood sugar level continues to exceed 30 mmol/L and remains high. Hyperglycemia can lead to acute complications such as diabetic ketoacidosis or hyperosmolar hyperglycemic syndrome, which progress rapidly and may lead to coma, shock and even life-threatening if they are not hospitalized in time for professional treatment, such as intravenous rehydration and intravenous infusion of small doses of insulin. Secondly, when hypoglycemia recurs and the situation is more serious, they must be hospitalized. Hypoglycemia is usually manifested as palpitation, hand trembling, cold sweat, dizziness and so on. Normally, the symptoms of hypoglycemia can be alleviated by timely sugar supplementation, but if hypoglycemia occurs frequently, such as multiple attacks in a day, it requires hospitalization for observation. Doctors can find out the causes of hypoglycemia through detailed examination, adjust the treatment plan, and avoid irreversible damage to the brain and other important organs caused by hypoglycemia. Moreover, when diabetic patients have serious infections, hospitalization should also be considered. Because of their low autoimmunity, diabetic patients are prone to infections, such as skin infections, urinary tract infections, lung infections and so on. If the infection is not effectively controlled, it will further affect the control of blood sugar and form a vicious circle. Doctors will carry out professional debridement of infected wounds, give appropriate antibiotic treatment, and strictly regulate blood sugar to prevent further deterioration of infection leading to serious consequences such as amputation. In addition, diabetic patients should be hospitalized immediately if they have symptoms of acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. Diabetes can increase the risk of morbidity of cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, once these symptoms occur, hospitalization for emergency thrombolysis, interventional therapy or other targeted treatment measures can minimize disability and mortality. Diabetic patients must pay close attention to the abnormal symptoms of the body, once the above situation is found, do not hesitate to go to the hospital immediately for hospitalization, timely control of the disease, to ensure health and life safety.
