It is true that diabetes can bring certain complications which impede the normal development of daily tasks. However, with proper treatment and following recommendations indicated by your doctor, you can enjoy a healthy life.
If you fail in taking precautions and care, diabetes damages various organs in the short and long term, especially those directly related to the nervous and circulatory systems increasing the chance of suffering a heart attack or cerebral issues. It also can cause vision problems and even sexual impotence.
Diabetes without adequate control will have serious consequences for the individual, such as the amputation of one or more of their extremities (hands, feet) due to internal damage or other infections.
Diabetic Neuropathy
Diabetic neuropathy is a diabetes complication that can cause nervous disorders in the body. The factors that influence their development are:
* Heritage. Some genetic traits can be constraints; there are people more susceptible to nerve disease than others.
* High glucose in the blood. It causes chemical changes in nerves and their ability to transmit signals. It also has the potential to damage the blood vessels that carry oxygen and nutrients to them.
Although the intimate mechanisms by which occurs diabetic neuropathy are not fully known, it is known that nerve fiber changes structurally due to the accumulation of substances derived from the metabolism of glucose in excess, causing the loss of the normal coating of nerve fibers: myelin. The loss of this protection causes a delay in the capacity of transmission of nerve information, both of reception and movement commands as well as other kinds. In addition to this direct mechanism, vessels that irrigate the nerves can become clogged by common mechanisms with other chronic complications of diabetes.
The symptoms of this condition are: numbness in the hands or feet, sore hands, feet or legs; problems in internal organs like the digestive tract and heart, as well as sexual organs. This can cause indigestion, diarrhea,bladder infections, impotence, weakness, weight loss and depression.
Treatment can include pain medications, antidepressants drugs, topical creams, stimulation therapy, relaxation training and acupuncture. Now, you must know that there are preventive treatments that can keep us away from any symptoms related to this condition. Note that one of the most important measures is to control levels of sugar in the blood. Take your medicines as your doctor suggested to the letter. Prefer a variety of nutritious foods and avoid foods with lots of fat and sugar. If you are overweight, ask your doctor how to lose some pounds.
