Prevent infections:
One serious complication of diabetes is infection, which occurs because patients with diabetes have low immunity and are more susceptible to infections. These infections can exacerbate diabetes, creating a vicious cycle that should not be underestimated.
CD infection can exacerbate the condition, causing increased blood sugar and ketoacidosis, which is life-threatening.
- Infections in the legs and feet can lead to peripheral vascular disease and eventually result in amputation. Recurrent pneumonia can cause pulmonary cysts.
- When systemic infection occurs, it can exacerbate metabolic disorders of sugar, fat, and protein, causing rapid deterioration of the condition and making it difficult to control.
- Female patients are more prone to urinary tract infections due to their short and straight urethra, resulting in symptoms such as frequent urination, urgency, and urinary discomfort.
- Repeated infections can also lead to serious complications such as spinal cord cavities and osteoporosis.
Given the severe consequences of infection, it is crucial to control and prevent infections during the rehabilitation process of diabetes.
