In addition to cardiovascular complications (hypertension, atherosclerosis, cerebral vascular accident, myocardial infarction); kidneys (protein in the urine, renal failure); eyes (cataracts, blindness); nerve (paresthesia, numbness of hands and feet);
infections (skin, urinary tract, tuberculosis, foot), the peripheral
vascular disease, which is the most common cause of vascular disease of
the lower extremities to gangrene and amputation complications huge
impact on health of the patient.
Vascular complications due to diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is divided into two categories: major vascular complications such as coronary artery disease, peripheral artery disease and stroke; microvascular complications, such as glomerular disease, neuropathy, retinopathy. Below mentioned only macrovascular complications in patients with diabetes.
In addition, peripheral vascular disease are also common in patients with diabetes. This is caused by blood vessels that bring blood to nourish damaged legs reduces blood flow to the legs. The bad blood makes leg skin becomes dry, cracked skin, prone to ulcers and infections.
This expression is usually discreet, hardly recognizable as: changes in
skin color, cold or numbness legs, leg pain at rest ... peripheral
vascular lesions, in conjunction with peripheral neuropathy, will cause
slow healing of wounds. On the other hand, high blood sugar is a favorable environment for bacterial growth and reduces the resistance of the body. Thus, the wound can be sores, infections, can progress to gangrene if not treated properly and promptly. When this risk is very high amputation.
People with diabetes over the age of 10 years or above 60; glycemic control; have deformed feet, vacuum bottles, blistering feet ...; had sore feet; the expression of peripheral nerve damage and / or peripheral vascular lesions; amblyopia; Renal complications;
travel shoes fit your feet ... foot ulcers are more likely to occur if
the risk factors listed above, or there is a risk, but in severity.
