Medical studies suggest that the feet are the body's "second heart", showing that foot in the human health in an important position. Once the feet are sick,
you can affect the whole body healthy, which is much more prominent diabetes. According to reports, the United States of all diabetes patients, 20% of the
patients due to foot infections and other complications hospitalized with diabetes foot infection due to an amputee, all non-traumatic amputations accounted
for 25% -50%, Therefore, people with diabetes should pay attention to foot health.
Patients with diabetes, mostly the elderly, the decline of its defense capabilities, and the pairs of the liver under the subcutaneous fat reduction in cold
diminished capacity, when the feet are cold stimulation, can cause local vasoconstriction. While the feet and the nasopharynx are closely linked, so the cold
feet, may cause the reverse manner nasopharynx vasoconstriction, so that the activities of the nasal cavity within the cilia slow down, the drop in disease
prevention, hidden bacteria in the nasopharynx are took the opportunity to active and susceptible to colds and upper respiratory tract infections, and may
thus complicated by bronchitis, pneumonia, myocarditis and so on. Those patients with chronic bronchitis, etc. See who can make chronic disease increase, or
even serious consequences.
With diabetes, multiple vascular dysfunction and neuropathy, resulting in local blood circulation foot barrier, nutrition disorder and partial insensitivity,
partial resistance to low. Daily activities, it is inevitable fall, collision injuries, lower extremity skin and therefore damage occurred; foot fungal
infection in the formation of tinea pedis, and often easy to secondary pyogenic bacterial infections; elderly patients unwieldy because of hands and feet,
nail scissors, when, incoordination, easy to damage the skin, they can often become a reason for diabetic foot infections, and easy to develop into chronic
ulcers, or even difficult to control severe infection or gangrene, and sometimes forced to amputation, or because of foot infection spread to the body growth
and reproduction of bacteria into the blood circulation produce toxins caused by sepsis, a direct threat to the patient's life.
It was observed that the foot temperature should generally be maintained at 28-33 ℃, when the body feels comfortable, if less than 22 ℃, due to local
vasoconstriction, affecting systemic blood circulation can occur from respiratory or cardiovascular side effects. Therefore, diabetes should not be a long
sit-in, according to physical and health conditions should be regular physical activity, such as walking, jogging, kicks, playing tai chi, sword, etc., can
improve lower limb blood circulation, enhance cold capacity, there are help lower blood sugar; another to elect to wear loose cotton-padded shoes or hair,
often for Xi Wazi to keep feet dry; bedtime of around 45 ℃ warm water with their feet or 10-15 minutes to warm and the cold will help improve local blood
circulation; wear a good non-slip shoes, walking carefully to guard against falls; suffering from athlete's foot for their active treatment, avoid using
Shousi feet itching skin and rub the toes to prevent skin damage caused by pyogenic bacterial infection.
