Diabetic copper poisoning symptoms?

summary

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a life-threatening disease, often occurs in patients with type 1 diabetes. However, people with type 2 diabetes also have diabetic ketoacidosis. Diabetic ketoacidosis occurs in the blood due to the lack of insulin and too many hormones that increase blood glucose. At this time, our body can not use the glucose in the blood as energy, the body can only start to decompose fat and protein, and the ketone body causing acidosis is produced by fat decomposition.

Excessive ketone body can accumulate in the body, resulting in the increase of ketone body in blood and the elimination of ketone body in urine. Ketone bodies are acidic substances, which accumulate excessively in the blood and consume alkaline substances in the body, leading to acidosis, resulting in dyspnea, shock, pneumonia, epilepsy, coma and even death. Diabetic ketoacidosis is the most common acute complication in patients with diabetes mellitus. The mortality of diabetic ketoacidosis is related to age, generally 2% ~ 10%, 2% ~ 4% in young people, and more than 20% in elderly people over 65 years old. Therefore, we should attach great importance to it.

Ketone body is a special intermediate product of fat decomposition and oxidation in the liver, and it is a form of energy output from the liver, including acetoacetic acid β— Hydroxybutyric acid and acetone. Ketone body is an important energy source of muscle and brain tissue. Ketone body can replace glucose and become the main energy source of brain and muscle when long-term starvation and insufficient sugar supply. Under normal conditions, there is only a small amount of ketone body in blood, which is 0.03 ~ 0.5mmol/l (0.3 ~ 5mg / dl). If it exceeds this range, it is called ketosis. However, acetoacetate and hydroxybutyric acid in ketone body are both acidic substances. A large amount of accumulation will consume too much alkaline substances in the body, which leads to ketoacidosis. People with diabetes don't have enough insulin to help glucose get into the cells and produce energy. At this time, the body can only rely on adipose tissue to produce heat, so the production of ketone body will increase, so the probability of ketoacidosis in diabetic patients is significantly higher than that in normal people.

When ketosis occurs, most of the patients show aggravation of diabetic symptoms (polyuria, dry mouth, polydipsia, fatigue) in the early stage, or appear these symptoms for the first time (no obvious symptoms before). If not treated in time, the condition will continue to worsen. 2-4 days later, the patient will have anorexia, nausea, vomiting, often accompanied by headache, irritability, drowsiness and other manifestations. Moreover, the breath will become fast and the breath will have the smell of rotten apples. If the condition develops further, severe water loss occurs, urine volume begins to decrease, skin becomes dry, heart beats faster, blood pressure drops, skin of limbs becomes cold, and finally develops into coma.

matters needing attention

The occurrence of diabetic ketoacidosis is related to the type of diabetes. Because of the absolute lack of insulin in patients with type 1 diabetes, patients with type 1 diabetes are prone to ketoacidosis, but type 2 diabetes can also have ketoacidosis under some incentives.
