hi,this moment i want talk about Complications of Diabetes Mellitus
Sometimes blood glucose levels in the body that can not be controlled by people with diabetes mellitus will lead to various complications , both acute and chronic . Therefore , it is important for people with diabetes to monitor their blood glucose levels on a regular basis .
Complications included in the acute complications of diabetes mellitus are diabetic ketoacidosis ( DKA ) and hyperosmolar hyperglycemic status ( SHH ) . In this two- state blood glucose levels are very high ( the DKA 300-600 mg / dL , in SHH 600-1200 mg / dL ) , and patients are usually unconscious . Because of the high mortality rate , people with diabetes should be immediately taken to the hospital for proper treatment .
The state of hypoglycemia are also included in the acute complications of diabetes , in which blood glucose levels decreased to < 60 mg / dL . DM patients are unconscious should be considered under conditions of hypoglycemia . The things that can cause hypoglycemia , for example patients taking the drugs too much ( most often a sulfonylurea class ) or injected too much insulin , or the patient is not eating after taking the drug or injecting insulin .
Symptoms of hypoglycemia include a lot of sweating , palpitations , trembling , hunger , dizziness , restlessness , and if severe , can lose consciousness to coma . If the patient is conscious , can soon be given a sweet drink containing glucose . If the patient's condition does not improve or unconscious patient should be immediately taken to the hospital for treatment and subsequent monitoring .
Chronic Complications of Diabetes mellitus uncontrolled for a long time will cause damage to blood vessels and nerves . Blood vessels can be damaged divided into two types , namely the large blood vessels and blood vessels kecil.Yang including among others :
Coronary arteries , which if broken would cause coronary heart disease and sudden cardiac arrest
Peripheral blood vessels , especially in the legs , which if broken would cause ischemic injury to the leg
The blood vessels of the brain , which if damaged will cause a stroke
Damage to small blood vessels ( microangiopathy ) , for example concerning the blood vessels of the retina and can cause blindness . In addition , there can be damage to the renal arteries that will lead to diabetic nephropathy .
Nerves are most frequently damaged peripheral nerves , causing numbness or numbness in the fingertips . Because of numbness , especially in the legs , then the DM patients are often not aware of the injury to the leg , thus increasing the risk of becoming deeper wounds ( leg ulcers ) and the need to take action amputation . In addition to numbness , patients may also experience leg burn and vibrate themselves , felt more pain at night , and weakness in the hands and feet . In people with diabetes who have peripheral nerve damage , it must be taught about proper foot care , thereby reducing the risk of injury and amputation .
hopefully can help.thanks
