The Chinese New Year is approaching, and whether you’ve already embarked on a busy journey or are planning to take a relaxing trip during the holidays, it’s important to take care of your health to avoid “holiday syndrome”. For people with diabetes, health awareness is even more important. Here, NetNewswire is dedicated to tell all sugar lovers how to deal with acute complications of diabetes. Among the many acute complications of diabetes, hypoglycemia is a common one. Usually the causes of hypoglycemia are the following: i. Too late to eat, or eating too little at a particular meal. Second, temporary physical activity too much, such as strenuous exercise. Three, excessive insulin injection. Fourth, improper use of oral hypoglycemic drugs. Many diabetic patients tend to think that the lower the blood sugar the better, in fact, this is a very wrong point of view. Netcom learned that hypoglycemia is more urgent and faster than hyperglycemia, and hyperglycemia will not kill people for a while, but serious hypoglycemia can lead to coma and even death. Therefore, the prevention of hypoglycemia can not be sloppy. So, what are the symptoms of hypoglycemia? If there are obvious symptoms such as sweating, shaking hands, panic, pale face, hunger, irritability, etc., then be careful, these are all signs of mild hypoglycemia. At this time, the correct approach should be to eat sugary food, such as half a glass of sweet juice or sugar water, 2-3 pieces of candy, etc. It should be noted that it is wrong to eat milk, eggs and other protein foods at this time, because these foods raise blood sugar more slowly and cannot correct hypoglycemia in time. The patient should call 120 immediately if he or she has severe hypoglycemia, but it should be reminded that as long as the diabetic patient is in a deep coma for 6 minutes due to hypoglycemia, the brain cell damage cannot be repaired, and even if the patient is successfully resuscitated, most of them will become vegetative. Therefore, it is very necessary for the patient’s family to master some first aid measures. Once a diabetic patient is in a coma, the patient should be laid flat in time, with the head on one side, to keep the airway usual and clear of vomit to prevent asphyxia by mistake. While waiting for the arrival of 120, the patient’s condition should be carefully observed and artificial respiration should be performed as soon as respiratory arrest is detected. In addition, patients should carry a card with them when they go out that states the recent medications they have taken to help doctors determine their condition during resuscitation. A special reminder is that not all diabetic patients are in a coma because of hypoglycemia. If the patient is in a coma due to high blood sugar, it is definitely worse if he is given sugary food. Here we would like to introduce a way to distinguish: when hyperglycemia is high, the patient is very thirsty, the skin and lips are dry, and the breath exhaled has a sweet smell; while when hypoglycemia is low, the patient’s skin often becomes moist and the breath has no special smell. If you can make a judgment based on the above method, then you can take sugar water for hypoglycemic coma patients during quick first aid, while for hyperglycemic coma patients, you can take tea with salt. If the family can distinguish between the two kinds of coma, then the appropriate treatment can be carried out.
