There is a fatal carelessness called "treating diabetes as a skin disease"! 4 differences need to be made clear

As we all know, diabetes is a frequently-occurring disease in life, and its emergence is mainly due to the increase of blood glucose levels in the human body. the main symptoms of this disease are changes in vision, physical fatigue, skin infection and so on.

Although diabetes is a common disease, many people in life know little about its symptoms.

Sometimes even if the skin has been found abnormal, but did not pay attention to it, but as a skin disease treatment.

This not only has no good effect, but also delays the best time of treatment.

So we need to distinguish between diabetes and skin diseases, such as the following four points.

1. The skin has a acanthosis nigricans

Acanthosis nigricans is actually the local skin with discoloration, thickening and velvety hyperplasia, especially in the neck and armpit.

The reason for this result is that the insulin secretion of diabetic patients has abnormal or resistance problems, and then can not complete the normal transformation.

2. The wound healed slowly

Under normal circumstances, there are some small wounds, even without treatment, 3-5 days can gradually improve.

But if the diabetic is injured, sometimes it can't be healed completely for a week, but it will get worse when it is serious.

3. Dark red papule

Clinical investigation shows that the color of rash caused by diabetes is mostly dark red, and generally in the lower leg.

However, due to the different personal constitution and condition, it may be single or large area on the skin. And if the red papules caused by skin diseases, the color is more ruddy, such as common urticaria, eczema and so on.

4. Yellow papule

As we all know, one of the biggest characteristics of diabetes is metabolic disorder.

If the blood sugar is not controlled in time, groups of yellow papules or small pimples are likely to appear on the back, buttocks and knees. From the appearance, its shape is similar to the size of rice grains, and it is slightly harder than the surrounding skin, but most of them have no symptoms of pain and itching.

Prevention of diabetes, adhere to do these things

1. Moderate exercise

In fact, exercise can not only maintain weight and promote blood circulation, Finnish scientists have done a study, in the process of exercise, the body's insulin levels continue to rise, but also to achieve the maximum utilization effect.

But if you want to achieve the ideal effect, you must stick to it. Normally, you need to keep four hours of exercise a week to reduce the risk of diabetes.

2. Go to bed early and get up early

The survey found that compared with people who get enough sleep, people who sleep less than six hours a day will double their risk of diabetes, and people who sleep more than nine hours a day will also increase their risk of diabetes.

Therefore, it is best to maintain a reasonable sleep time of 7-8 hours.

3. Pay attention to blood sugar

The doctor reminded that after 40 years old, the human body function drops, and impurities are more likely to exist in the blood. In this case, measure the blood glucose index more, and treat in time when there are abnormal conditions, so as to avoid the arrival of diabetes.

All in all, the skin abnormalities caused by diabetes are very different from the common skin diseases.

For example, the wounds mentioned above heal slowly, with yellow, dark red papules and acanthosis nigricans under the armpit and neck.

Of course, if you really can't tell which kind of situation is the cause, the correct way is to see a doctor in time. If you find something abnormal, actively cooperate with the doctor for treatment.
