Complications of diabetes can not be ignored

Diabetes is due to the role of insulin secretion or insulin caused by absolute or relative shortage of high blood sugar as the main features of the metabolic syndrome. Currently, it has become a serious impact on people's physical and mental health, second only to cancer, cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, the third category of disease. Diabetes are often accompanied by atherosclerotic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases, diabetes and kidney disease, eye disease, complications such as neuropathy. These complications to human health posed a great danger, seriously affecting people's quality of life, therefore, the treatment of diabetes, complications of diabetes can not be ignored.

Diabetes can lead to many complications, the most common complications of the digestive system is diarrhea. Is generally believed that diabetic diarrhea is a relatively rare, but according to statistics, the incidence rate of 16.7%. Most of intermittent diarrhea, and a small number of continuous, multi-occur in the daytime, only a small number of patients with diarrhea during the night. Diabetic diarrhea is a kind of intractable diarrhea, severe cases, stool samples were emitted in one day as many as 10 to 20 times, often without abdominal pain, bowel inflammation nor conventional performance tests. Often intermittent diarrhea, alternating with constipation, and its pathogenesis may be related to metabolism and vascular lesions caused by diabetic autonomic neuropathy related. Patients should pay more attention to diet should be used less oil, less residue, high protein, high vitamin semi-liquid or soft food,, avoid alcohol, eat spicy food, such as a hard fruit.

If poorly controlled diabetes, patients most likely to occur in the eye of the complications is diabetic retinopathy and diabetic cataract. Diabetes-induced cataract in diabetic patients because of the aqueous humor was significantly higher sugar content and the proliferation of penetration into the crystal, so that crystal was hypertonic state, absorbing moisture, fiber swelling, loss of transparency, the formation of diabetic cataract. Diabetic cataract clinically divided into two types of diabetic patients with senile cortical cataracts, but the incidence of diabetic cataract in advance to make it, and the other is true diabetic cataract, diabetic patients were seen primarily in adolescents, the incidence of 10% about. According to statistical analysis, in China there are about more than 4000 million people with diabetes, about 30% of patients with diabetic retinopathy, of which 1.2% each year may develop into blind patients. In such conditions, many years ago, on the Yangtze River and the State Pharmaceutical Administration of Traditional Chinese Medicine Research Institute of Tianjin to develop drugs specifically for the prevention and treatment of complications of diabetes drugs, "Lin Tang" (epalrestat film), this drug is the first of aldose reductase inhibitors, filled a diabetic neuropathy and microvascular disease treatment gaps in the field, became the first new drug for the treatment of diabetic complications.

The prevention of diabetic diarrhea, diabetic retinopathy and cataract, the key to the positive treatment of diabetes, controlling blood sugar. Therefore patients should actively cooperate with the doctors, diet, paying particular attention to low-sugar diet, adequate exercise, regular monitoring of blood glucose, in the doctors under the guidance of the rational use of drugs.
