70-year-old diabetic patients may cause cerebral infarction.
Diabetic patients need to follow the medical advice standardized control of diet and exercise oral metformin, glimepiride and other glucose-lowering drugs or injections of insulin treatment, will be the level of blood glucose control usually in the fasting blood glucose at 4.4 ~ 7.0 mmol / L, postprandial blood glucose ≤ 10.0 mmol / L. According to the age as well as complications, the purpose of the treatment, as appropriate, to adjust the control target.
If the elderly patients’ blood glucose is poorly controlled for a long time, or combined with hypertension, dyslipidemia and other cardiovascular risk factors, it may complicate diabetic macrovascular lesions, resulting in atherosclerosis, which can cause acute cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases such as cerebral infarction in the long run.
However, not every diabetic patient will suffer from cerebral infarction. If the patient actively cooperates with the doctor for glucose-lowering treatment, chooses a low-salt, low-fat, low-sugar diet in daily life, maintains a healthy body weight and carries out aerobic exercise moderately, all of them can effectively control the value of blood glucose, and can effectively prevent cerebral infarction from occurring.
If 70 years old diabetic patients have cerebral infarction, they need to go to the hospital in time to avoid delaying their condition.
