What reason is diabetic old person vomiting?

The onset of elderly patients with diabetes is insidious, the symptoms are mild, lack of typical "three more less" (polydipsia, polyuria, polydipsia and weight loss) symptoms, many patients have no thirst, polydipsia symptoms, only manifested as unexplained fatigue, emaciation, some patients do not even have any symptoms, many patients are accidentally found during physical examination.

In some stress states (such as infection, operation, vomiting, diarrhea and acute stroke), the blood sugar of the elderly patients with diabetes increases rapidly, and the osmotic diuresis loses more water. However, the elderly patients are often misdiagnosed as cerebral apoplexy and admitted to the Department of Neurology because the hypothalamic thirsty center is not sensitive and the water intake is insufficient, and the patients suffer from hyperosmotic coma due to severe dehydration of brain tissue. In view of this, when the elderly appear coma, do not just think of stroke, must be routine blood glucose examination, exclude the disease. Due to poor blood circulation, tissue ischemia, hypoxia, glucose anaerobic digestion, lactic acid production in the elderly is increased, and due to the decline of liver and kidney function, lactic acid clearance is reduced. Therefore, under the action of some incentives (such as taking "biguanide" drugs), lactic acidosis is easy to lead to. The mortality is as high as 40% - 60%.

Many old people suffer from diabetes for many years, but they don't know it until there are complications. Some patients went to the Department of Ophthalmology due to visual impairment, some to the Department of Nephrology due to edema and positive urine protein, some to the Department of surgery due to gangrene or furuncle of lower limbs, some to the Department of Cardiology due to coronary heart disease, some to the Department of gynaecology due to pruritus of vulva, and some to the Department of Neurology due to coma. Only after examination did they know that the root cause of the disease was diabetes.

matters needing attention

In summary, we can have a preliminary understanding of the problems mentioned in the above article. After understanding these contents, we hope that in the future life, if there are elderly people suffering from diabetes, we must actively cooperate with doctors for treatment, and do a good job of maintenance in daily life, so as to avoid concurrent diseases.
