Diabetes is now a very common disease, according to the survey is currently in our country for the incidence of this disease is very high. What are the early skin symptoms of diabetes? Next I share with you the content of the early skin symptoms of diabetes, take a look!
Early skin symptoms of diabetes1. Skin herpes
Diabetic patients have weak body resistance, the skin is easy to infect. Some patients will grow blisters on the skin with clear pulp inside, mostly on the hands and feet. Although the blisters heal within a few weeks, they can recur.
2. Sweating
Due to impaired glucose metabolism, neurological dysfunction, sympathetic nerve excitation, abnormal secretion of sweat glands, diabetic patients have moist and sweaty skin, and they sweat a lot when they are not moving. This may be a precursor to neuropathy, a complication of diabetes, and patients should pay enough attention.
3. Folliculitis
Early diabetic patients in the body's blood glucose concentration has been higher than normal, the sugar content of the skin tissue is also high, it is easy to breed bacteria and fungi, the occurrence of infections, which is the most common is folliculitis. Prickly heat-like inflammation can appear on the skin. These prickly heat-like bumps are filled with pus and can be painful to touch, and heal when the pus is drained out, but they can recur, one after the other. If left untreated, they can cause perifolliculitis, also called boils.
4. Sensory abnormalities
Numbness and burning sensation in the skin of the limbs at times, but also some people have pain in the limbs, and the pain is more severe when wearing clothes and covers. Prolonged hyperglycemia can cause neurological complications, but some patients still don't know they have diabetes even after they experience sensory abnormalities.
5. Itchy skin
Because the skin of early diabetic patients is a breeding ground for bacteria and fungi, the patient will also appear dry skin, itching and other symptoms, female patients are mainly itchy pubic area, scratching the skin tissues and other infections will occur later.
The causes of diabetes1. Autoimmune system defects
Because a variety of autoimmune antibodies can be detected in the blood of patients with diabetes, such as antibodies to glutamic acid decarboxylase (gad antibodies), antibodies to islet cells (ica antibodies), etc. These abnormal autoimmune antibodies can damage the body. These abnormal autoantibodies can damage the insulin-secreting b-cells of the human pancreatic islets, preventing them from secreting insulin normally.
2. Infection
Juvenile diabetes is significantly associated with viral infections. Infection itself does not induce diabetes, but only makes invisible diabetes more visible.
3. Psychological factors
In the last decade, Chinese and foreign scholars have recognized the role of psychological factors in the occurrence and development of diabetes mellitus, and believe that the accompanying mental tension, emotional excitement, and a variety of stress states, will cause a large amount of secretion of blood glucose-raising hormones, such as growth hormone, norepinephrine, pancreatic glucagon, and adrenocorticotropic hormone, etc.
The role of mental factors in diabetes mellitus is not limited to the development of diabetes mellitus.
4. Genetic factors
It is recognized that diabetes is a hereditary disease, genetic studies show that the incidence of diabetes in the pedigree of relatives and non-pedigree relatives have a significant difference between the former and the latter 5 times higher. The importance of genetic factors in the etiology of diabetes mellitus type I is 50%, while the importance of diabetes mellitus type II is more than 90%, so the genetic factors causing diabetes mellitus type II is significantly higher than diabetes mellitus type I.
5. Genetic factors
Damage to the hla-d gene on the short arm of the sixth pair of human chromosomes; diabetes? Insulin gene, insulin receptor gene, glucolysin gene and mitochondrial gene damage. In short, no matter which type of diabetes, and no matter whether it is because of genetic susceptibility to the onset of the disease, or environmental factors, the onset of viral infections, in the final analysis is due to genetic damage. In other words, diabetes is a genetic disease.
6. Long-term overfeeding
Eating too much without moderation, overnutrition, so that the original potentially low-functioning insulin? The cell overburden, and induced diabetes. Now domestic and foreign also formed ? The more affluent you are, the more plentiful your body is, the more diabetes you will experience. The concept of the "diabetic" is not a good idea.
