As soon as the blood sugar soars, the feet suffer first? These 5 anomalies on the feet suggest that the diabetic foot is coming!


As the incidence of diabetes is becoming more and more serious and the number of patients is also increasing gradually, diabetes is often called "three killers" together with coronary heart disease and tumor.

The reason why they are called killers is that they have more complications and are seriously ill.

Among them, diabetic foot is one of the most typical complications, and the disability rate and mortality rate of this disease are very high.

Therefore, diabetic patients should pay more attention to the foot at ordinary times. Once the following five abnormal points are found in the body, then the patients need to prepare for treatment and nursing measures.

1. Intermittent claudication

The early symptoms of diabetic foot is intermittent claudication, and intermittent claudication is due to the patient's lower limb ischemia, once the patient walks for a period of time, the foot will appear weakness and numbness.

If the patient has severe ischemia of the lower limbs, even if the patient does not walk, there will be pain, especially when the patient is lying in bed at night, the pain will be more severe, and this pain will generally appear in the patient's toes or the distal part of the foot.

2. A pale color of the feet

The patient's body will be affected by diabetes, the blood vessels in the foot will become narrow, and be damaged and pathological changes, thus affecting the blood circulation of the foot.

When the foot long-term blood supply is insufficient, the patient's foot will not only appear pale and tingling symptoms, but also feel numb and weak.

Once these symptoms appear in the foot, patients themselves should be highly vigilant and go to the hospital for examination in time.

3. Foot ulcers of unknown origin

When the patient's feet long-term blood circulation is not smooth, the patient will appear because of the end nerve necrosis and caused by the ulcer.

Patients in daily life are very prone to traumatic infection, the infected site and wound caused by trauma will not heal, the wound will repeatedly damage ulcer.

Once this situation occurs, we must carry out the correct treatment as soon as possible, otherwise the patient will have the risk of amputation.

4. Cold feet

When diabetic feet have diabetic feet, whether in winter or summer, even if they wear thick socks or shoes, they still feel cold in their legs and cannot get warm.

Because the blood of diabetic patients is very easy to appear the symptoms of poor blood circulation, especially in patients with microvascular obstruction symptoms, more likely to cause patients with cold feet.

Once found, patients should go to the hospital in time to understand the relevant aspects of knowledge and conduct leg examination.

5. Itchy skin or lower limb pain

Diabetic patients will be due to foot nerve lesions, so that the foot is in a state of ischemia, at this time patients will not only appear skin itching, dry, edema and other symptoms, local skin will also appear different sizes of spots and pigmentation or blisters.

In addition, there will be local numbness in the patient's feet, and patients with more sensitive nerves may also feel the tingling sensation of being pricked by a needle or cut by a knife.

To sum up, diabetic foot at the earliest stage, there are more typical symptoms.

Once the above five symptoms are found in patients with diabetes, it is recommended that patients should go to the hospital for examination and treatment in time. Otherwise, once the diabetic foot is allowed to develop continuously, the patient may need amputation to ensure life safety.

Therefore, diabetic patients must not be careless in daily life. It is best to control blood sugar in a balanced safe area every day, avoid eating high sugar food, and take hypoglycemic drugs on time.
