Diabetes not only affects the health of hundreds of millions of people around the globe, but is also a source of concern for its possible complications. As diabetes complications approach quietly, our bodies send a “suspense signal” through subtle changes. Today, let us lift the veil of these mysterious signals and learn how to catch them in time and to deal with them!
If you start to see your own vision blurry, as if you were blindfolded by a faint fog and you were in a hurry to change your glasses, this could be a sign of a diabetic retina. High blood sugar can damage micro-vascular activity in the retina, leading to visual problems. Regular end-of-the-eye examinations are key to the early detection and treatment of this complication.
There has been an increase in the number of nights, possibly when the kidneys are warning us. Diabetes renal disease is one of the microvascular complications common to diabetes, initially manifested in increased night urine, protein urine, etc. Once these signs are found, the kidney function should be examined in a timely manner in order to take appropriate measures to protect the kidney.
It is not simply an expression of fatigue that the feet begin to feel numb, sting or pain when walking. Diabetes neurosis and vascular disease can affect the blood circulation and neurological function of the foot, and can even lead to foot ulcer or noma in serious cases. It is therefore essential to keep the feet clean, to check the feet for wounds on a daily basis and to wear comfortable shoes.
The chest is discomfort, breathing is fast, and the heart may be in distress. Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as coronary heart disease, heart infarction, etc. These diseases lead to a lack of blood supply in the heart, as well as symptoms of chest depression and heart attack. As soon as these symptoms occur, they should be referred to the hospital immediately so as not to miss the best treatment.
Skin drying and itching, especially in the lower limbs, may be a manifestation of the neurological changes in the surroundings caused by diabetes. In addition, black thorns (black and thickened skin wrinkles such as necks and armpits) may be associated with insulin resistance. Attention to skin changes and timely adjustment of lifestyles and medications can help to improve symptoms.
Diabetes complications are not invisible and can be detected and implemented in a timely manner as long as we look carefully at every slight change in the body. Regular medical check-ups, control of blood sugar and maintenance of a healthy lifestyle are the best weapons for preventing and delaying diabetes complications. Let’s keep our bodies safe from the complications of diabetes!
