Diabetes is a common disease that we are all too familiar with, and has become the second killer of modern diseases, second only to cancer in terms of harm to the human body. Diabetic patients in China are increasing year by year, seriously threatening human health. The World Health Organization has listed diabetes as one of the three most difficult diseases, and November 14 each year as the “World Diabetes Day”. What are the symptoms of diabetes in men? Impotence: The complication rate of impotence in men with diabetes can be as high as 40-60%. So men who normally have normal sexual function develop impotence, it is possible that they have diabetes. Difficulty in urination: Male diabetic patients often have symptoms of difficulty in urination in the early stage, except for men caused by prostate hypertrophy, the possibility of diabetes should be considered. Peripheral neuritis: manifested as numbness in the shoulders, hands and feet, a burning sensation or anthroposis in the body, and a weakened or absent Achilles tendon reflex. Intermittent claudication: walking often feels unbearable pain in the lower limbs and cannot continue walking, sometimes with palmar contracture. Rhabdomyolysis: Atrophy of the lingual papillae in the center of the tongue body, manifested as a localized diamond-shaped defect area without tongue coverage. Hypoglycemia: The patient presents with excessive sweating, especially localized sweating, hunger, dizziness, panic, agitation and recurrent episodes. Breathing odor: Patients exhale rotten apple-like odor, and in severe cases, even sweat and tears have similar odor. Eye disease: Patients have diminished vision, blurred vision, or cataracts or glaucoma, but they develop quickly. Skin disease: The skin is prone to boils and blisters, and wounds and skin infections are slow to heal. Genetic factors: There are people in the family who have diabetes. Significant fatigue: The patient is tired and lethargic, and the body feels very tired even when at rest. Diabetes mellitus: The urine discharged has a large amount of foam and it is difficult to disappear for a long time. If urine is spilled on the ground, it becomes white after drying and can attract ants and flies. Sugar addiction: Patients often have the habit of eating sweets on an empty stomach. Prevention and treatment of diabetes: Since the cause of diabetes is not yet completely clear, the use of diet therapy, exercise therapy and drug therapy can only control the disease, but not yet cure diabetes. Therefore, if you don’t pay attention to the regulation, control the diet or treat the disease according to the doctor’s requirements, you will also have high blood sugar and urine sugar. Diabetes is a lifelong disease that requires long-term treatment. Even if the condition is well controlled, it is important to insist on diet regulation and regular review at the hospital. Diabetes itself is not really scary, what is scary is the life-threatening chronic complications. Prevention is better than cure, and the key to preventing diabetes is for people to know how to maintain a healthy lifestyle, a reasonable dietary structure, appropriate physical activity, and avoid overweight, obesity and excessive mental stress.
