If there are four kinds of situations on the hand, is it the "signal" of diabetes? The truth tells you
Typical symptoms of diabetes are often accompanied by thirst, drinking more water, more urine and sudden weight loss. But these symptoms are not obvious, patients often ignore or misjudge these symptoms.
What's more worrying is that some patients may not have any symptoms at all and only know that their blood sugar is high during the physical examination.
Hand appears these 4 kinds of situations, is diabetic symptom really?
In many complications of diabetes, diabetic foot may be more people's attention, but "diabetic hand" may be few. However, due to more blood vessels and abundant blood supply in the hand, long-term diabetes will lead to bone and joint, soft tissue and other basic diseases, so diabetes will also be displayed in the hand.
Symptom 1: Swollen fingers
Diabetes can cause microvascular lesions, also can make the capillary near the finger continue to inflame, continue to aggravate the condition.
One of the biggest performance is the "praying hand", which means that the palms of the two palms are opposite each other, and the fingers can't stretch and fit well, so the gap will be enlarged, and it looks like praying.
Symptom 2: Slow healing of finger wounds
Because there are a lot of meridians on the fingers, there are many blood vessels on the fingers. In diabetic patients, if you cut your nails carelessly or have toothpick stabs, but your immunity will be reduced due to high blood sugar, which will easily lead to infection.
At the same time, the ability of tissue repair decreased due to high blood glucose, resulting in slow wound healing.
Symptom 3: Numbness of fingers
The so-called ten fingers linked to the heart, the finger is the end of blood vessels and nerves. If the blood glucose is too high, the patient's blood supply is insufficient, resulting in vascular and nerve lesions in the finger, or nerve damage, leading to patients prone to finger numbness and other situations.
Symptom 4: Fingers can't be straightened
Because of peripheral neuropathy caused by bone and joint lesions, finger blood vessels can not supply, then the patient's finger joints can not be flexible, resulting in hand deformity.
If you want to diagnose whether you have diabetes, the most direct way is to do a blood glucose test
Although diabetes can cause hand-related abnormalities, it is not necessarily only diabetes that causes the above-mentioned abnormalities.
For people with unstable blood sugar control, the white blood cells in the body will begin to be "powerless", and naturally they will be vulnerable to infection.
Once infection occurs, it is not easy to control, so if you want to diagnose whether you really have diabetes, blood glucose screening is the most direct and effective detection method.
Of course, in the physical examination found positive urine sugar, is not necessarily diabetes. It is possible that some factors in the kidney can not completely absorb the sugar in the blood, prompting part of the sugar to flow out with the urine.
Therefore, at this time, it is necessary to take the physical examination report, go to the hospital for re screening of blood glucose, and according to the actual situation, combined with other examinations, in order to improve the scientificity of diagnosis.
