Diabetes and infections are "good brothers" and always get into trouble together. Let's take a look at the "masterpieces" they have created together!
Respiratory tract infections:Diabetic patients are prone to acute or chronic bronchitis, pneumonia, emphysema, tuberculosis, etc. In particular, the incidence of tuberculosis is 2 to 4 times higher than that of ordinary peopleThis is really "adding insult to injury", not only to control diabetes, but also to cure tuberculosis as soon as possible. Chest X-rays are done 1 or 2 times a year for diabetic patients, which can detect and prevent respiratory diseases early
Urinary tract infections:It is also very common, especially in women and the elderly. Symptoms include frequent urination, painful urination, urgency, fever, and general malaise. Sometimes, even if a patient has an infection, it may not have obvious symptoms, which requires extra vigilance.
**Infection:All kinds of purulent stains may occur, such as folliculitis, boils, carbuncles, cellulitis, etc. Fungi are also the "good friends" of diabetic patients and often cause tinea pedis, ringworm of the hand, external Candida albicans infections in women, etc. Therefore, diabetic patients should keep **clean, avoid damage, and ** any slight skin lesions in time!
Gangrene of the lower extremities:Diabetic patients often have neuropathy and vascular lesions in the lower limbs, and the feet are easily damaged and lead to infections, and the infection is difficult to heal, and may even lead to necrosis of the lower limbs. Therefore, it is necessary to pay attention to avoid infections caused by short nail trimming, foot injuries and ill-fitting shoes
Other:People with diabetes are also prone to periodontal infections and gum inflammation. There is also a higher risk of infection after surgery and a higher chance of developing sepsis than the general population.
Heck, it seems that diabetes and infections are two "good brothers" everywhere!Everyone should be careful!
