I have said more than once that diabetics must develop good eating habits because it is not only good for blood sugar control, but also effective in preventing complications. In our Yuan Minqin Sugar Foot Center, many male patients have the habit of drinking alcohol. Is alcohol consumption a cause of diabetic foot? 1, it can easily lead to excessive total food intake. Alcohol, or ethanol, can be oxidized to produce heat. Each gram of ethanol can produce 7.1 kilocalories of energy, between sugar and fat. Because drinking alcohol will eat food at the same time, often make the total calorie intake too much, so that blood sugar levels are not easy to control. When blood sugar is high, it naturally leads to complications. 2, alcohol is prone to lower extremity arterial plaque dislodgement. I have heard of many people around me who drink alcohol regularly and suddenly died because of cerebral vascular collapse. Lower limb vasculopathy is one of the main causes of diabetic foot, long-term alcohol consumption in addition to easily lead to systemic arterial vasculopathy, but also easy to lead to fine plaque off, may cause acute thrombosis and necrosis. 3, alcohol is easy to stimulate the lower limb neuropathy aggravation. If a diabetic patient already has neuropathy, further damage will occur because of alcohol stimulation, and neuropathy is also the main cause of diabetic foot. 4, excessive alcohol consumption activities have fallen, there will be a risk of infection after the appearance of wounds, this situation may also be the cause of the onset of diabetic foot. So, for diabetic patients must pay early attention to quit drinking, if we do not pay attention now, do not adjust, then it is likely that one day unfortunately there will be diabetic foot and other complications, by then it is too late to regret.
