The sugar lovers who like to stilt their legs In life, many people like to stilt their legs, thinking that it is more comfortable to sit. However, diabetic patients often stretched legs, not only will lead to diabetic foot, and in serious cases there is a risk of amputation. This is because there are two prerequisites for the occurrence of diabetic foot, one is atherosclerosis ischemia of the lower limbs, and the other is neuropathy. Long-term stilts make diabetic lower extremity blood circulation is not smooth, accelerating the lower extremity arteriosclerosis ischemia, a long time susceptible to diabetic foot, so diabetic patients must stop stilts. Warfarin, a vitamin K antagonist, is the most commonly used drug in vascular surgery to prevent recurrence of deep vein thrombosis. It is an inexpensive and effective anticoagulant, but the dietary combination of warfarin is very delicate and deserves the attention of the patients. Sugar smokers Diabetic patients who smoke. Smoking is an important factor in causing diabetic vasculopathy. According to survey data, diabetic patients who smoke are 15 times more likely to develop diabetic foot than non-smoking diabetic patients. Diabetics with combined vascular disease Diabetics with combined diabetic peripheral vasculopathy. Diabetic peripheral vasculopathy can cause severe narrowing of the blood vessels in the lower extremities, resulting in a relative decrease in the blood and oxygen supply to the foot. Once the foot of patients with this disease is traumatized, the wound will be delayed and difficult to heal due to insufficient supply of nutrients and oxygen, thus causing diabetic foot. Diabetics with combined nephropathy and eye disease Diabetics with diabetic nephropathy or diabetic retinopathy. Diabetic retinopathy can cause severe vision loss in diabetics. These patients are prone to diabetic foot as their feet are easily injured when walking. And diabetic nephropathy can seriously affect the kidney function, so that a large amount of toxic substances in their bodies can not be excreted in time. These toxic substances can damage the blood vessels of people, especially the blood vessels of the lower limbs, thus predisposing them to diabetic foot. Diabetic patients with wounds on their feet Diabetic patients who have had lower limb amputations, ulcers, calluses, corns or foot deformities on their feet. Such patients, even if the wound and ulcer surface has completely healed, their chances of developing a diabetic foot are still as high as 80% or more. Once you have a diabetic foot, in addition to having to pay high medical bills, you may also be disabled, or even die in severe cases. When the sensation of the foot gradually loses its numbness or becomes painful for no reason, and various painful abnormal sensations such as pins and needles, burning sensation, and cold feet appear, go to an endocrinologist as soon as possible.
