One, his mind taut 5 "Strings children"
Active prevention of diabetic foot from the occurrence of thought every one should pay attention to diabetes, the patients mind to tighten the 5 "Strings children":
The first is control of blood glucose. Mainly due to diabetes, diabetic foot caused by limb peripheral vascular, neuropathy due to secondary infection, while controlling blood sugar is a slow peripheral vascular, neuropathy occurred effective means. And that high blood sugar are also prone to infection, so strict control of blood sugar is a crucial step. Second, is due to peripheral neuropathy is an important factor in occurrence of diabetic foot, so proper nutrition and proper nerve medicine foot massage is also beneficial. Again is to protect the feet. Do not pass through tight shoes and socks, do not walk barefoot, but also to avoid a pedicure in order to reduce the risk of foot injury. Finally, active treatment athlete's foot. General patients have varying degrees of foot fungal infections, fungal infections are also one of the factors impaired wound healing.
In addition, the legs do the non-weight-bearing exercise (such as in bed to do flexion and extension movement of the legs) can be improved to some extent, lower limb circulation.
Second, be doubly cautious Mo hot feet
Before going to sleep at night, a pot of scalding hot water the effect of foot indeed recover from fatigue, but also a certain degree of health protection. However, not all of them very suitable for hot feet, especially with diabetes should be particularly careful. When the body's skin and experience a more high-temperature hot water when the local blood vessels would expand, blood flow will speed up, so the blood will take away excess heat, so that part will not hurt, but patients with diabetes would significantly decrease this feature . According to statistics, diabetic patients with diabetic foot gangrene caused by burns accounted for 14.5%, which is caused by accidental amputation diabetic foot disease an important reason. Patients with diabetes high blood sugar can cause the body due to peripheral neuropathy, micro-circulation and blood vessels. This change will inevitably occur in the foot. Peripheral neuropathy can cause the skin of the foot paresthesia, muscle atrophy, skin dryness and abnormal sweat secretion, so that the defensive function of the foot drop. Vascular lesions leading to microcirculation of blood supply to the foot to reduce foot nutritional deterioration of the organizations to restore capacity is low.
As a diabetic, you know: When you are hot foot on the one hand foot skin paresthesia could not be judged because of the high and low water temperature, so that I do not know enough to profit and avoid loss, on the other hand the skin microcirculation and vascular lesions of vascular can not be a normal expansion, reduction of blood supply to the skin also does not have enough blood to the heat away, so that gathering took place in local burn calories. Patients with severe burns when not in their own self-knowledge, so that further aggravate the burn. Diabetic foot risk of infection after burn significantly increased for patients great suffering and loss. So, is strongly recommended that patients with diabetes must be careful when washing one's feet. Diabetic patients feet, it is recommended not to exceed the surface temperature of the water temperature. Small to care about in life, sometimes you will be replacing a lot of body, time and economic losses. Patients with diabetes should be concerned about the details of life.
Third, elderly patients to lose weight
In China, population aging has become a trend, while the incidence of diabetes, often increases with age, so the number of elderly diabetic patients increased year by year. Many elderly people are aware that diabetes can cause heart, brain and blood vessel disease, kidney disease, arteriosclerosis, etc., and most of the diabetic patients with diabetic foot unfamiliar. While some people know, but do not understand the harm it. Because of this, also contributed to the prevalence of diabetic foot increase in the elderly.
