Type 2 diabetes often causes problems in the nervous system, and today we will talk about the effects of type 2 diabetes on the nervous system, in the hope of increasing your vigilance.
The damage to the nervous system by type 2 diabetes is silent but far-reaching, medically called diabetes neurosis. It may have had only minor, easily neglected symptoms at an early stage. For example, there is a slight numbing or sting in the hands and feet, as if there were countless small ants crawling gently on the skin, especially at the end of the limbs. Many diabetics at this stage often consider themselves to be a result of fatigue or inappropriate postures, without attention.
As the condition progresses, neurosis increases. The feeling of hand and foot becomes more slow and the sense of temperature and pain is significantly reduced. At this point, diabetes patients may be accidentally burned, frozen or injured without knowing, and the wounds are highly contagious in a high blood sugar environment, and healing becomes difficult and can cause serious and even gangrene and risk amputation.
In addition to feeling nerves, motor nerves can be implicated. Diabetes may find their hands and feet becoming less powerful and easier to perform, such as hand-written writing, buttons, stairs, etc., becoming more and more laborious. Muscles can also shrink, the body co-ordinates are degraded, and walk easily and at a volatile pace, which not only affects daily self-care, but also increases significantly the risk of falling and falling.
Autonomous nerves are also the target of type 2 diabetes attacks. Autonomous nerves are responsible for regulating many important “automatic” functions of our bodies, such as heartbeats, blood pressure, digestion, urine, etc. When an autonomous neurosis changes, the body is like losing a “moverator” and problems are full of problems. For example, diabetes patients may experience an abnormal heart rate, which can be too rapid, too slow, and may be accompanied by a state of dizziness, panic, etc.; gastrointestinal disorders, symptoms such as a lack of appetite, nausea, vomiting, abdominal swelling, diarrhoea or constipation, which can be indigestion; and urination disorders, which can be manifested in urine frequency, urination emergencies, urination incontinence or urination difficulties, urine incontinence, etc., which cause diabetic patients great distress and psychological burdens.
Why would type 2 diabetes cause so much damage to the nervous system? This is mainly due to the chronic state of high blood sugar. High blood sugar is like a “chronic poison” that can damage a nerve’s blood vessels, deprives them of adequate blood supplies, leading to ischaemic blood, anaerobics and pathologies. At the same time, high blood sugar interferes with metabolic processes in neurocells and affects the transmission of nerve signals.
In any case, type 2 diabetes patients must focus on the protection of the nervous system and not let diabetes, a “silent killer”, harm their nervous health.
