Why is diabetes sleepy?

summary

The goal of diabetes treatment is to control the patient's blood sugar in the normal range as far as possible. It is difficult to keep the blood glucose completely normal, but the closer the blood glucose is to normal, the less likely the short-term or long-term complications of diabetes will occur. The main problem of strict control of blood glucose is the increased chance of hypoglycemia. Therefore, we need to understand why diabetes sleeps more?.

Why is diabetes sleepy?

First: the main cause of drowsiness is probably pain and acidosis. It is suggested that we should go to the hospital as soon as possible to make relevant examination to clarify the cause, so as not to delay the illness. In the early stage of diabetes, patients often do not show typical symptoms of overeating, polydipsia, polyuria and weight loss, but show fatigue and weakness, easy infection, abnormal skin sensation, visual impairment, sexual dysfunction and so on. Identifying these early symptoms of diabetes is conducive to early identification of diabetes.

Second: diabetes will affect the immune function of patients, resulting in reduced resistance, prone to a variety of infectious diseases, such as skin furuncle, urinary tract infection, respiratory tract infection, gastrointestinal inflammation, and due to the decline of white blood cell function of patients, infectious diseases are not easy to control, treatment is difficult.

Third: there are insulin resistance and hyperinsulinemia in type 2 diabetes, so hypertension, hyperlipidemia, obesity, coronary heart disease and high blood viscosity can occur at the same time or successively. Patients with these conditions should pay attention to monitoring blood glucose in order to detect diabetes early.

matters needing attention

Diabetic patients should not stand for a long time when they have foot swelling. They can put their feet on the footstool or box or chair, or sit on the inclined chair with footstool. When they sleep, they can lie on the bed and put their feet on the cushion, trying to make the foot higher than the heart. Proper walking can help patients with leg muscle rhythmic contraction, can make blood return to the heart, avoid body fluid accumulation in the lower limbs.
