The relationship between elevated blood glucose and abnormal manifestations.
Elevated blood sugar is one of the main features of diabetes, and long-term poor blood sugar control can cause serious damage to the body. In addition to the common typical symptoms such as polydipsia, polyuria, fatigue, and weight loss, elevated blood sugar may cause a range of abnormalities. This article will detail the relationship between elevated blood sugar and abnormal manifestations to help you better understand the impact of diabetes on your health.
1.*Infect.
A hyperglycemic state provides a good environment for bacteria, fungi, and viruses to grow, leading to an increased risk of infection. Common infections include folliculitis, impetigo, tinea pedis, and viral infections. These infections can cause redness, swelling, pain, warmth, and oozing, and in severe cases, serious complications such as sepsis.
2.*Itching.
Elevated blood sugar can cause itching, which is due to hyperglycemia leading to microcirculation disorders, insufficient nutrition, resulting in dryness, scaling, and itching. **Itching can affect a patient's quality of life and may lead to insomnia, anxiety and depression in severe cases.
3.*Pathological changes.
Diabetic lesions refer to abnormal changes in structure and function due to hyperglycemia. Common diabetic** lesions include:
1) Diabetic bullous disease: It is manifested as a large area of blisters on the **, which may lead to infection and pain after rupture.
2) Diabetic lipoatrophy: manifested as a decrease in the underlying adipose tissue, laxity, dryness, and roughness.
3) Diabetic pruritus: manifested as severe itching, especially at night, which seriously affects the quality of life of patients.
4.Diabetic podiatry.
Diabetic podiatry is one of the most common complications in diabetic patients, manifested by foot pain, dryness, deformed toes, etc. Hyperglycemia leads to vasculopathy and neuropathy of the foot, impaired sensory and motor function of the foot, and predisposes to foot infections, ulcers, and gangrene. Diabetic podiatry can seriously affect the quality of life of patients and may even lead to amputation.
5.* Pigmentary abnormalities.
A hyperglycemic state may lead to pigmentary abnormalities such as melanin and white spots. Melanin pigmentation is commonly found in sun-exposed areas such as the neck, arms, and legs, while white spots are more likely to appear in the folds. These abnormal pigmentary changes affect the patient's appearance and can lead to psychological burden.
6.* Decreased elasticity.
A hyperglycemic state can lead to a decrease in elasticity, which is due to damage to collagen and elastin fibers caused by the rise in blood sugar, which causes the loss of elasticity and luster. **Decreased elasticity makes patients appear aging and affects quality of life.
Summary. There is a strong relationship between elevated blood glucose and ** abnormal manifestations. Diabetic patients should pay attention to their own health, have regular check-ups, and seek medical attention in time if problems are found. At the same time, actively control blood sugar levels and follow your doctor's advice to reduce the risk of complications. Maintaining good living habits, eating reasonably, and exercising moderately can help improve the health of diabetic patients.
