Hey guys! Today we are going to talk about the relationship between diabetes and cerebrovascular disease.
First of all, cerebrovascular disease is not specific to diabetes, but diabetes, especially poorly controlled diabetes, is one of the important causes of cerebrovascular disease. The cerebrovascular lesions of diabetic patients are 3 times higher than those of non-diabetic patients!
Moreover, the 2001 National Survey of Chronic Complications of Diabetes showed thatThe prevalence of cerebrovascular lesions in hospitalized diabetic patients in China is as high as 122%！Cerebrovascular disease causes disability and death in diabetic patients is more serious in China than in Western countries.
Why are diabetic patients more likely to get cerebrovascular disease? Because diabetes can cause problems such as high blood pressure, cerebral arteriosclerosis, damage to the lining of blood vessels, decreased deformability of red blood cells, and increased blood viscosity. As a result, the incidence of vasoocclusive cerebrovascular disease, such as cerebral thrombosis or cerebral infarction, increases significantly. Intracerebral hemorrhage caused by rupture of a blood vessel in the brain (intracerebral hemorrhage) is not much worse than in non-diabetic patients.
It has been found that 88% of diabetic stroke patients have obstructive cerebrovascular lesions such as cerebral thrombosis or lacunar cerebral infarction. It was also found that about 43% of acute stroke patients had elevated blood sugar, which shows how closely the two are related. Diabetic cerebrovascular disease and non-diabetic patients are very similar in clinical manifestations, with headache, dizziness, numbness of limbs, and in severe cases, hemiplegia, disability, and even life-threatening.
Therefore, if you want to prevent diabetes complicated by cerebrovascular disease, you must control blood sugar and protect cerebrovascular disease. If you find any symptoms, be sure to seek medical attention in time!
