Nowadays, with the improvement of medical conditions and the deepening of people's understanding of diseases, the life span of diabetic patients is also increasing. We can often see that diabetic patients in their eighties and nineties can still live a normal life in their daily lives.
In fact, it is not diabetes itself that threatens the life span of diabetic patients, but its complications, such as diabetic foot, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases and neuropathy. These complications are troublesome, and once they occur, they are difficult to cure. Therefore, it is very necessary to prolong the life of patients, especially to prevent complications.
The main methods to prevent diabetic complications include: keeping a good attitude. Although this is a cliche, it is a panacea for various diseases. To overcome the disease, we must maintain an optimistic and positive attitude and adjust our body to the best state.
In addition, diabetes is a chronic lifelong disease, and patients' diet control, physical exercise, medication and regular physical examination should be adhered to for life, and their vigilance should not be relaxed because of the gradual improvement of their condition.
In addition to routine monitoring of blood sugar and blood pressure, diabetic patients should also regularly check their fundus and vision, glycosylated hemoglobin, urine routine, urinary microalbumin, cholesterol, high/low density lipoprotein cholesterol, triglyceride, liver function, renal function and electrocardiogram, as well as check the pulse of dorsal artery of foot and neuropathy.
Even if you find early complications, don't worry or panic too much. Complications also develop slowly. As long as you continue to live a healthy and regular life, actively cooperate with treatment, control complications and prevent their development, you can still greatly prolong your life.
