If a person with diabetes has high blood glucose and weakness, he or she should go to the hospital and have some tests done to determine the cause of the disease so that the treatment can be targeted. The main causes of weakness in diabetes include the following: 1. disorders of water, electrolytes, acid-base balance; 2. complications of diabetes, such as diabetic nephropathy, cerebral infarction, ketosis; 3. low blood sugar; 4. high blood sugar; 5. excessive dieting.
Once a patient feels weak and measures high blood glucose, the first step is to actively control blood glucose to ensure that it is normal and stable, either through dietary therapy, oral hypoglycemic drugs or insulin injections to lower blood glucose.
Second, patients also need to exercise in moderation. Although the blood sugar is well controlled, a healthy lifestyle is also needed to assist in the treatment. Adequate physical activity can reduce weight, improve insulin resistance, and prevent the onset of malaise.
Third, if weakness is caused by low blood sugar, it will get better quickly when the hypoglycemia is corrected. If symptoms of hypoglycemia are found continuously, then you need to go to the hospital because hypoglycemia is very harmful and needs to be addressed as soon as possible.
Finally, excessive dieting leads to malnutrition, which eventually causes weakness. After a diagnosis of diabetes, a controlled diet needs to be guided by a professional dietitian who will develop exclusive recipes for each individual that will assist in controlling blood sugar to target levels without causing malnutrition.
