Accordingly, housewives should pay attention to some basic complications that people with diabetes need to pay attention to in order to protect their health, according to Health.
Diabetes, if not well controlled and prevented, can cause serious damage to many organs in the body.
Cardiovascular disease
Diabetes increases the risk of cardiovascular disease including heart attack, stroke and peripheral artery disease.
The main cause is high blood sugar levels that damage blood vessels, leading to atherosclerosis and poor blood circulation.
Nerve damage
Diabetes causes high blood sugar levels that can damage nerves, causing numbness, pain, or loss of feeling, often in the feet and hands. It can also affect the autonomic nervous system, causing indigestion, diarrhea, or constipation.
Kidney disease
Diabetes is also one of the main causes of kidney failure because damage to the small blood vessels in the kidneys will reduce the ability to filter blood and eliminate waste. If not treated promptly, the patient may need dialysis or a kidney transplant.
Eye damage
People with diabetes are at risk of eye diseases such as diabetic retinopathy, cataracts and glaucoma, especially if not detected and treated properly, these lesions can have a negative impact on vision.
Skin and foot infections
Due to poor blood circulation and loss of sensation, small wounds on the skin or legs can become ulcerated, infected, and difficult to heal.
Memory loss
Some studies have shown that diabetes increases the risk of Alzheimer's disease and cognitive decline. This may be related to blood vessel damage and inflammation caused by unstable blood sugar levels.
To reduce the risk of these complications, it is necessary to maintain stable blood sugar levels with a healthy diet, regular exercise, and follow treatment as prescribed by your doctor.
At the same time, have regular health check-ups to help detect early so that appropriate treatment regimens can be given and are effective for your health.
