and care of the foot, so that it will happen ulcers, gangrene, a serious need for amputations. Lower extremity diabetic patients responded very "obtuse," I
do not know hot and cold, there is no pain, is not easy to early detection of lesions, although angiography, magnetic resonance, ultrasound and so can detect
signs of disease, but these checks do have to spend a lot of "silver", there examination of both economical and convenient way to do that?
Third People's Hospital of Zhengzhou City, deputy director of Department of Endocrinology, Dr. Liu Long gave birth to a trick taught to patients, the
dorsalis pedis artery dorsal foot touch and feel whether the abnormal pulse. This is the Endocrine Section, Department of Neurology, etc. Through the past
few years in patients with type 2 diabetes screening through palpation summed up.
Dorsalis pedis artery in a good position to find, included, to connect the dorsal lateral malleolus, between the two tendons, the patient can use both hands
to exert the same pressure on the index finger, not too much vigor to find pulse after they look at the strength of feeling If the pulse significantly
decreased or disappeared, foot lesions more likely to occur, it is necessary and timely to the hospital in order to detect lesions.
From a clinical perspective, diabetes five to ten years, it started to occur in the foot lesions, so the "age of five," patients often use this method is
best to detect, early detection of abnormal dorsalis pedis artery.
Note that the lower extremity arterial disease atherosclerosis is the systemic performance, dorsalis pedis artery abnormalities in patients with diabetes,
very easy to merge cardio-cerebral vascular diseases.
Therefore, there dorsalis pedis artery abnormalities in patients can be under the guidance of a doctor taking lipid-lowering drugs, such as statins, and
vasodilators, such as Salvia and so on.
The doctor's advice: exercise can reduce insulin resistance, lower blood sugar, diabetic lower extremity lesions appeared on how people should choose
activities?
Open diabetic foot lesions, such as ulcers, infections, gangrene, is not suitable for sports, and weight-bearing foot lesions can increase the pressure.
Without open lesions, such as neuropathy, vascular disease and so on, carefully check the foot after exercise, whether the traces of swelling or compression
(if any note inappropriate shoes), once found to have skin ulceration, it is timely to the hospital for treatment .
