If you suffer from diabetes first and then pulmonary tuberculosis or both diseases are found at the same time, you will have a sudden onset, which is often similar to pulmonary suppuration or acute pneumonia. The disease progresses rapidly and the symptoms are difficult to control.
People who find tuberculosis first and then diabetes have mild symptoms, similar to the recurrence or aggravation of tuberculosis.
The common symptom of diabetes complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis is hemoptysis. The reported incidence of hemoptysis abroad is 13%, which is higher than that caused by simple tuberculosis (6.8%). Patients with fatal massive hemoptysis are also more common than patients with simple tuberculosis.
In patients with diabetes complicated with pulmonary tuberculosis, pulmonary tuberculosis progresses rapidly, cheese in pulmonary tuberculosis focus liquefies, and cheese-like substances are ejected to form cavities, especially multiple cavities. The positive rate of tuberculosis in sputum is also higher than that of simple tuberculosis.
Vitamin supplementation helps to prevent diabetes.
(Reuters Medical News) According to the data of National Health and Nutrition Survey I Epidemiological Follow-up Study (nhefs), vitamin supplementation for adults can reduce the risk of diabetes.
Dr. Earl S. Ford of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in Atlanta reported their findings in the May/KLOC-0 issue of American Epidemiology.
The researchers reported that the data of 9,573 American adults aged between 25 and 74 were analyzed and found that 10 10 developed diabetes after 20 years of follow-up. 2 1% of diabetic patients took vitamins one month before the experiment, while 33.5% of non-diabetic patients took vitamins.
After multivariate adjustment, the risk ratio of subjects taking vitamins was 0.76, 0.70 for men and 0.84 for women. And people who take vitamins regularly have a lower risk of diabetes than those who take vitamins irregularly, which indicates that there is a dose-response relationship.
Dr. Ford pointed out in his paper that this is one of the few studies that taking vitamins can reduce the incidence of diabetes.
People with diabetes should be careful when sleeping on a mat.
Uncle Lu has a history of diabetes for ten years. He took hypoglycemic drugs at home and his blood sugar was well controlled. It's getting hotter and hotter, so he sleeps on the mat with bare arms. Recently, he broke the skin on his back and didn't care. Then his skin became infected and his blood sugar rose.
Why are diabetics prone to skin infections? This is because diabetes causes peripheral neuropathy, which makes the skin insensitive to temperature, pain and touch, and is easy to be stabbed, scalded and bruised. Moreover, due to high blood sugar, bacteria are easy to multiply, leading to skin infections. After infection, blood sugar will increase irritability, aggravate diabetes, aggravate infection and form a vicious circle.
Therefore, it is best for diabetics not to sleep shirtless on a mat. You can spread a layer of pure cotton sheets on the mat to help absorb sweat; In addition, we should keep the mat flat and free of sundries, and often scrub it to dry and disinfect it.
People with diabetes should protect their lower limbs and pay attention to foot hygiene. Always soak your feet with warm water to promote vasodilation and blood circulation. After washing feet, it is advisable to wipe your feet with a soft and absorbent dry towel. The movements should be light and thoroughly dry, especially the toes to prevent any slight scratches. It is best to wipe your feet with vegetable oil after drying them to protect your skin from dryness.
