Although many diabetic patients have a certain understanding of the complications of diabetes, but only know that diabetes is easy to “rotten feet”, unaware that it can also “rotten hands”. 1, “hands” and “feet” will be ischemic, prone to dry necrosis One of the most common complications of diabetes is vascular disease, blood vessels are prone to narrowing or even occlusion. This is like a blocked river, slowing or even blocking blood flow, affecting the supply of nutrients and drugs to the tissues, and making it difficult for toxins and metabolic waste to be removed from the body. The smooth transport of blood also relies on the pumping pressure of the heart. The distal extremities are farthest from the heart and have the least pumping pressure, which, combined with smaller vascular lumens and more severe vascular disease, results in more severe ischemic symptoms. Ischemia is the main cause of diabetic gangrene, both hands and feet will have ischemic symptoms, so both feet and hands may be rotten. 2. Traumatic infections, both hands and feet are possible High blood sugar makes the bactericidal ability of white blood cells weakened, which leads to easy infection of wounds in diabetic patients. The reduction of antimicrobial substances (such as antibodies, etc.) in the body, coupled with vasculopathy and a high blood sugar environment, is more conducive to wound infection. Whether it is the feet or the hands, whenever there is a wound, trauma, surgical incision, burns, etc., there is a risk of infection. Therefore, the patient will not only rotten feet, but also rotten hands. 3, why “rotten feet” is more common than “rotten hands” The same end, compared to the foot, the wounds and other abnormalities in the hands of diabetic patients are easily detected. Early detection, early treatment, it is less likely to ulcerate. The foot is farthest from the heart and has poor blood flow; the hand is relatively close and has relatively little effect. Therefore, the chances of deterioration of wounds on the hands are usually smaller. In terms of personal hygiene, some patients do not wash their feet for months, and a large amount of dirt adheres, which has a higher chance of harboring germs. In terms of lifestyle habits, patients often sag their legs at rest, which can aggravate ischemia in the distal foot and increase the chances of gangrene. There are also corns, tinea pedis, trimmed toenails, etc. There are more problems with the feet, and poor handling of them can increase the risk of rotten feet. After a hand breaks, you can easily lift your hand, which helps improve blood supply. But not the feet, they have to walk and are under a lot of pressure. Therefore, there are many, many reasons that together lead to diabetic feet to be more common than diabetic hands! 4, rotten feet and rotten hands, which is more important Diabetic rotten feet and rotten hands, there is no difference between who is light and who is heavy, a long time to cure is not good, may be dead! In the difficulty of treatment, whether it is a diabetic foot or diabetic hand, relatively speaking, dry gangrene is more difficult, because it involves the reconstruction of blood vessels and the improvement of blood circulation. In terms of treatment methods, a combination of Western and Chinese medicine open treatment is applicable. The purpose of conservative treatment is achieved after debridement, infection control, improvement of circulation, nourishment of the trauma and elimination of decay and muscle growth. 5, to prevent both diabetic foot and diabetic hand At present, according to the cases in our sugar foot center, the number of patients with diabetic rotten hand began to gradually increase. This needs to draw the attention of the majority of sugar lovers, both to prevent “diabetic foot”, but also to prevent “diabetic hand”. At the same time, no part of the diabetic patient is necessarily “safe”, as long as there is a wound, there is the possibility of infection and ulceration. Therefore, there are also “diabetic legs”, “diabetic back”, “diabetic face”, “diabetic chest” and a series of wound infections. The wound infections can occur in a series of wounds. Therefore, diabetic patients must take precautions to avoid the development of serious diabetic infected wound ulcers, which can cause serious physical and psychological harm to the patient.
