The main causes of low blood pressure in diabetes include diseases, medications, and nutritional deficiencies.
1. Low blood pressure caused by diseases:
(1) Diabetic autonomic neuropathy, and this autonomic neuropathy occurs in the cardiovascular system, which causes postural hypotension. There will be insufficient cerebral blood supply, dizziness and other manifestations of postural hypotension, so the most crucial thing to solve this problem is to improve the patient’s blood glucose, control the blood glucose at the ideal level, and cooperate with the treatment of nutritional nerves at the same time.
(2) Insufficient blood volume: for example, recent profuse sweating, vomiting, diarrhea, or even blood loss, such as gastrointestinal hemorrhage, will cause insufficient volume, resulting in low blood pressure, which requires appropriate fluid replacement, blood transfusion as well as the use of blood pressure-boosting medications when necessary.
(3) Cardiovascular disease: myocardial infarction or cardiac insufficiency can lead to low blood pressure.
(2) Drugs: for example, taking vasodilating drugs, or overdose of antihypertensive drugs for hypertension will cause low blood pressure.
3. Nutritional deficiencies and anemia can cause low blood pressure.
In short, diabetic patients with low blood pressure must consult a doctor in time to clarify the cause, under the guidance of the doctor for treatment.
