How does diabetic want to drink more water to do?

summary

The main symptoms of diabetic patients are polyuria, polydipsia, overeating and emaciation. Diet control is the key to the treatment of diabetes, so some people take it for granted that limiting drinking water is also very important. We should try to reduce the amount of drinking water, and even take the amount of drinking water as an indicator to measure the severity of the disease. How does diabetic want to drink more water to do? Let's talk about it

How does diabetic want to drink more water to do?

The reason why diabetic patients "drink more - make more urine" is because of high blood sugar! Diabetic patients with polydipsia and polyuria can be expressed by the following causal chain: hyperglycemia → appearance of urine glucose → increase of urine volume → water loss → increase of plasma osmotic pressure → thirst → polydipsia. The more serious the diabetes, the more obvious the polydipsia and polyuria.

Diabetic patients because of "polyuria" lead to water loss, make diabetic patients feel thirsty, produce "polydipsia" behavior. If the urine output of diabetic patients is too much and they can't drink enough water in time, when the body water loss reaches 10%, they will feel thirsty, palpitation, fatigue, and blood sugar will rise; If the water loss reaches 20%, there will be irritability, delirium, coma, blood pressure drop, and even life-threatening.

Diabetics should drink more water when they are not thirsty, especially the elderly diabetics! This is because once the "thirsty signal" appears, it indicates that the body is already short of water. And some elderly patients with diabetes thirst signal comes later, more dangerous!

matters needing attention

1. Reduce the risk of urinary tract infection, increase the treatment of antibiotics for diabetes; 2. Reduce blood viscosity, reduce the formation of diabetic complications; 3. Reduce the incidence of diabetic hyperosmolar coma.
