”Diabetes is a disease that tends to accumulate too much glucose in the blood. It has been nicknamed “the silent killer” abroad, especially “adult-onset diabetes”, and the rate of infection is particularly high among middle-aged people over forty years old, and in Japan, 10% of the population over forty years old, that is, there is one “diabetic” among ten people. Once suffering from “diabetes”, life expectancy will be reduced by as much as ten years, and possible complications will occur throughout the body. What kind of pain does “diabetes” cause? It often makes you feel dry and want to drink water, and you wake up many times in the middle of the night because of excessive urination. The feeling of hunger despite having eaten a lot of food, weight loss, drowsiness, etc., always makes you feel that something is wrong with your body. By the time you can feel something obvious, your diabetes has progressed to a certain point. And the dreaded complications are quietly developing all over the body. What are the complications of diabetes? Anxiety, dysautonomia, neurological disorders (paralysis of hands and feet, paralysis of perception), cerebral thrombosis, cerebral obstruction, cataract, tooth decay, stomatitis, bronchitis, skin disease, myocardial infarction, pneumonia, tuberculosis, cirrhosis of the liver, abnormal fertility, miscarriage, renal dysfunction, uremia, impotence, inflammation of the female lower body, cystitis, urethritis, gangrene, foot lesions (water bugs, etc.), etc. Among these complications, the most frequent are retinopathy, nephropathy and neurological disorders, which are called the “three major complications” of diabetes mellitus. These three complications are certain to occur in 80 percent of people within 20 years of life with diabetes. Atherosclerosis is also included, which is the result of excess glucose in the blood gradually corroding organs and tissues throughout the body. Once you develop “diabetes”, you will be in trouble because your immune function is weakened and you will easily contract various infections caused by colds, pneumonia and tuberculosis, which are not easy to cure. It can also selectively destroy cells and engulf them. The defense function of anti-cancer cells will be greatly weakened, so that cancer cells will be active and gather, leading to cancer patients. It is rare to find a disease with such a wide range of complications caused by diabetes, except for “diabetes”. Because of the complications, it is said that once you have diabetes, your life expectancy is reduced by at least ten years. The earliest medical book in China, “Huangdi Nei Jing Su Wen” and “Ling Shu”, recorded the name of the disease “thirst disorder”. In the Han Dynasty, Zhang Zhongjing, a famous physician, also recorded the symptoms of “three more” in the chapter of “The Essentials of Jin Kui”. In the early Tang Dynasty, the famous Chinese physician Zhen Liyan first pointed out that the urine of patients with thirst was sweet. Diabetes is divided into type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes and other special types of diabetes. Among diabetics, the proportion of type 2 diabetes is about 95%.
