Complications of Diabetes - Diabetic retinopathy

Complications of Diabetes
|
It may cause sudden (acute) or chronic complications.
Usually it is because of the poor control of blood glucose.
I. Acute complications
Hypoglycaemia
It is associated with very
low blood sugar levels in the blood. You
can get hypoglycaemia when take more diabetic medications, not taking enough
food, or do very exhausting exercises. If you notice the first
symptoms, quickly eat something sweet or drink a glass of fruit juice before
things become serious. If you do nothing, it could lead to a crisis or coma.
Diabetic ketoacidosis
This complication is typical for people with
diabetes type 1. You get it when the body doesn’t have enough insulin (or
insufficient quantity). People with diabetic ketoacidosis have very high blood
sugar levels and get very fast dehydration of the body.Thus, glucose can not enter cells and they remain without energy. Then, they begin to
provide themselves with energy as degrade proteins and fats. So, blood becomes "sour" because of the substances
(ketones) which accumulate therein. This condition is known as diabetic ketoacidosis.
II.Chronic complications.
It is obtained as a result of damage to blood
vessels. Due to diabetes, the small blood vessels can become weaker, and the large ones - harden,
narrow and become blocked by clots. This can lead to a number of
complications.
The following complications can
be prevented if you keep a strict control:
Problems related to blood circulation
Atherosclerosis and
the damage of the
major
blood vessels can lead to difficult blood circulation in the body and thus,
harm the heart, brain and peripheral limbs.
We must not forget the fact that people with diabetes are more prone to high
blood pressure and high cholesterol levels.
Attention!
When the heart
circulation is affected , there is an increased risk of heart attack and
angina.
When the brain
circulation is affected, there is increased risk of stroke on the brain.
Poor blood circulation in peripheral
limbs is called peripheral vascular disease. This could lead to increased
frequency of infections, ulcers, and in some cases can lead to gangrene.
Nerve damage caused by diabetes
Most often these are the nerves of the legs
and sometimes of the arms.
Damage to the nerves may cause the following
symptoms:
Some doctors treating
the condition with medications used for the treatment of depression, and
epilepsy. In diabetes the blood vessels in the retina
can weaken and deteriorate. This may lead to leakage of blood into the
eyeball, blearing the vision. This process is called diabetic retinopathy.
|
Diabetic retinopathy and cataract do not
develop overnight. You must have been a diabetic patient for many years to be
affected by them. Therefore it’s recommended to visit doctor every 1-2 years.
|
Renal failure as a result of diabetes.
Diabetic nephropathy.
The kidneys remove
waste from the blood and eliminate them through the urine.
Provided that, these structures and blood
vessels in the kidneys are damaged, they may stop functioning (effectively). When this happens we are talking about diabetic nephropathy.
Kidneys play a huge role in regulating blood
pressure. Diabetes can lead to high blood pressure, which later may damage the
kidneys. Reduced consumption of salt and proper diet can cure high blood pressure. Patients with
diabetes are at increased risk of developing urinary tract infection, which can damage the kidneys, if the infection reach them.
Problems with gums and teeth
Diabetics are subject to greater risk of developing infections of the teeth and gums. Is often advisable to visit your dentist.
Sexual weakness
Problems with the blood
vessels and the resulting poor blood circulation can cause impotence in men.
The situation may further be exacerbated by other conditions related to diabetes,
such as high blood pressure. If you have a problem, see a doctor immediately.

They include excessive urination, thirst, fatigue and nausea.
Risk factors for
development of diabetes are:
What is Diabetes?
During the digestion process, food converts into a sugar called
glucose.
Glucose (blood
sugar) is a major source of fuel for the body. After food converting (into
glucose), it enters the bloodstream, where begins its circulation in the body.Then it passes into the cells to be used as energy.
To move glucose from bloodstream into the cells,
our body needs insulin. It is a hormone produced in the pancreas. There it is
being produced the right amount of insulin to helps glucose to flow into the
cells. Depending on the needs of our body for insulin per day, the level
varies. People with diabetes face difficulties in producing insulin, or its
absorbing from the body.
In a nutshell, the
patient has a problem with the proper food absorption from the body, so it loses a large amount
of energy for regular functioning.
A condition that is characterized by high levels
of glucose in the blood is known as -hiperglikemia. If not treated in time, it can
cause long-term complications such as:
Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes
The symptoms of diabetes type1 can appear suddenly and can be quite heavy, while in diabetes type 2, they may go gradually and imperceptibly.
The Most Common Symptoms of Diabetes Include:
The proper diagnosis
If you have some of these symptoms it is good
immediately to seek a doctor. Early diagnosis and treatment will help to
prevent more serious complications. The most accurate
method of diagnose diabetes is through blood test.
According to the latest studies, a blood test
can find diabetes type 2 about 10 years before it appeared.
Types Of Diabetes And Reasons That Cause It
There are three main types
of diabetes:
Treatment of Diabetes - Type 1
In this type of diabetes, pancreas
produces little or no insulin. It is known as insulin-dependent diabetes. It
occurs in kids7-12 years old, but it can
appear at any age. About 10% of all people with diabetes suffer from type 1.
It is believed that this
type appears as a result of an
autoimmune response of the body. During this reaction, the immune system
attacks its own healthy cells and tissues (of the body). In this type, the body
attacks and destroys the cells responsible for insulin production in the
pancreas, making them incapable for it producing.
We still have no idea what is reason for this
autoimmune response, but it is assumed that these are certain viruses or genetic
factors. According to different sources, some diets and stress also play a role
in its occurrence.
Treatment of Diabetes Type 2
In this type, the pancreas still produce insulin
but not enough to meet the needs of the body. Thus, cells in the body are incapable
to use insulin, especially cells in the liver and muscles. This type of
diabetes is known as non-insulin dependent diabetes.
It can affect people at any age and some of them need insulin. Ninety percent of all patients with, suffer from type 2.
It is related to many hereditary problems. Type 2 diabetes is associated with obesity, and it usually occurs after
age 40.
Gestational Diabetes
This atypical form of diabetes occurs most often during pregnancy.
Between 2-4% of pregnant women can develop this type of diabetes, but it
usually disappears after pregnancy.
Some people with diabetes type 1 and some with
diabetes type 2 need insulin injections. Depending on what is the duration and the effectiveness of the insulin, there are
different types of injections. Some of them very quickly can be absorbed by the body, while others have longer-term
effects. Sometimes both types are required.
Unfortunately, there’s still no cure for diabetes, but it can be controlled through the life. The goal is
to maintain healthy blood glucose levels between (4.0 mmol / L and 8.0 mmol /
L), and to prevent complications.
Attention!
Blood glucose control should be done under medical
supervision.
Maintenance Diet
Generally you should avoid eataing foods that
contain refined sugar:
chocolate, jam, soft drinks, biscuits, cakes and
fruit juices.
Useful Foods- fruits, vegetables, whole grain breads and cereals. The basis of the
diet should come eating less fat and rich in fiber. Avoid alcohol-it contains a
lot of sugar.
To maintain balanced blood sugar levels, follow basic food habits and
seek the advice of nutritionists.
Other reasons causing diabetes
Exercises
Blood glucose levels are regulated very well with some exercise. This
maintains a balanced weight, normal blood pressure and cholesterol levels. This
in turn, reduces the risk of heart attack and stroke. Bear in mind that
excessive exercise can lead to very low blood sugar levels. Do not overdo it!
Other factors
When body is in a state of stress, it is very difficult to
control the level of blood sugar. Therefore it is better to avoid stress as much
as possible. If you become ill from a disease and the blood sugar level
falls, you must see a doctor, especially
if it is accompanied by vomiting.
Treatment Of Diabetes With Herbs
Olive stones relieve
diabetes
Grind finely about 100
olive stones. Pour on 2 liters of water
and boil until remain 1 liter. Drink three times a day, one tablespoon after
every meal.
