Diabetes is a very troublesome disease. In addition to having a lot of food to eat, there are still some complications to prevent.
1. Signals from eyes
Most probably it did not actually happen to be a "senile eye" when diabetic patients appeared blurred or dark. This is probably caused by long-term hyperglycemia causing retinopathy or cataract, and must be checked in the hospital and the diabetic eye disease is excluded.
2. Signals from oral cavity
Diabetic patients with gingival atrophy or swelling, periodontal infection or halitosis, tooth loosening or even falling off may be associated with poor long-term blood glucose control, resulting in decreased immunity, secondary infection and increased calcium loss.
Therefore, when diabetic patients have these symptoms, they must be vigilant and deal with them early.
3. Signal from skin
Diabetic patients suffer from persistent skin and vulva intractable itching, fungal infection of the skin (such as tinea manus, tinea pedis, tinea corporis, onychomycosis, etc.), folliculitis or furuncle and carbuncle, and skin blister due to unknown reasons. When diabetes occurs, it should be thought that this may be due to long-term hyperglycemia caused by diabetic skin lesions.
4. Signals from limbs
When diabetic patients appear bilateral symmetry numbness, ant feeling, needling sensation, burning sensation, pain, or pain, temperature, touch loss or loss of sensory abnormalities, it is often suggested that diabetic patients have peripheral neuropathy.
5. Signal from sweat gland
Some diabetic patients are especially sweating. Even in cold weather, they often sweat and sweat when they eat or have a little activity. And the patient's sweating is characterized by sweating of the head and face and trunk, but no sweat from the limbs. Abnormal sweating indicates that the autonomic nerve regulating sweat secretion is damaged.
6. Signal from digestive tract
When patients with diabetes appear abdominal fullness and intractable constipation. It may be caused by long-term vegetative diarrhea, hyperglycemia and gastrointestinal nerve dysfunction, but it may not be caused by chronic purulent diarrhea.
7. Signal from kidney
When diabetic patients have increased urine foam, increased nocturia, edema of the eyelid and lower extremities, it is often suggested that diabetic nephropathy may occur.
8. Signals from cardiovascular system
Normal people tend to have faster heartbeat than rest, and faster daytime than night time, while some diabetes patients show a rapid heartbeat (resting rhythm) when resting, and there is little change in heart rate during the day and night (what we call "fixed heart rate").
In addition, some patients show "postural hypotension", that is, when the patient stands up from the lying position (or squatting position), it is often accompanied by decreased blood pressure, dizziness, palpitation, black eyes, and syncope in severe cases. The above symptoms indicate that the patient's cardiac autonomic nerve is involved.
9. Signal from gonad
Diabetes can cause peripheral blood vessels and peripheral neuropathy, which can lead to loss of sexual desire and erection of penile erection. With the extension of diabetes duration, it can gradually develop into complete impotence. Therefore, the decline of sexual function is often a sign of complications of diabetes.
10. Signals from bones
When people with diabetes feel low back pain and have obvious hunchback, they are probably caused by osteoporosis.
Bone is formed by protein (collagen) as matrix and a large amount of calcium deposited on it. In diabetic patients, because the blood sugar concentration is high, the kidneys are discharging too much glucose, and the calcium in the blood is also losing a lot with the urine. In addition, due to insulin deficiency, the collagen synthesis and the bone matrix decrease in diabetic patients, which is easy to cause osteoporosis.
Is there osteoporosis? Just measure the bone mineral density!
Generally speaking, when a disease occurs in a tissue or organ of the body, some clues are often exposed - either abnormal symptoms or abnormal examination results. It is with these clinical "abnormal signals" that we can detect diabetes complications early.
Diabetes in Chinese medicine is called diabetes or more than and 3 diseases (that is, eating, drinking and polyuria). Patients often feel dry and thirsty, even if they keep drinking water. This water shortage is caused by the lack of Yin in the body. "Yin" generally refers to the body fluid and body fluid in the body. Improper diet is the main cause of kidney yin deficiency. Eating too much high-fat, high calorie and carbohydrate foods will lead to the accumulation of heat toxin and hurt the internal organs. If the internal heat persists, it will dry up the body fluid. When the body is dry and hot, it is often very weak due to overwork, which will eventually affect the endocrine system and lead to metabolic disorders. As a result, insulin function is abnormal or secretion is insufficient, making blood sugar too high. Sugar flows into the urine, producing the phenomenon of "diabetes".
Traditional Chinese medicine treats diabetes by clearing away heat and strong body, thereby improving the endocrine system. However, no matter what kind of treatment is taken, diet is very important for diabetics. It should be moderated, avoid "fat and delicious" food, and learn to get balanced nutrition and keep fit. Although diabetes can not cure, but a moderate amount of exercise, cheerful mood, good habits, help to ease the disease, and prevent complications.
Potatoes have a high starch content, but the starch absorbs slowly. It is a good food for obese people or for diabetics.
Most people think that eating potatoes will make you fat. That's because you're wrong. Fried or made into butter mashed potatoes, or stewed with meat, it's the oil that makes you fat, not the potato itself,
If you want to use potatoes as a diet food, I suggest you make cold potato shreds, that is, blanch the potato shreds and mix them with vinegar and pepper shreds.
