Brain complications
The initial change of hypoglycemia is the asymmetric increase of blood flow in brain tissue, and the blood flow in gray matter and right hemisphere increases more. Followed by brain edema, severe neurohypoglycemia can occur at this time. After hypoglycemia is corrected, the above changes can be recovered without permanent damage. If hypoglycemia persists or recurs, it can cause degeneration and punctate necrosis of brain cells in gray matter. If hypoglycemia is very serious and not corrected for a long time, it will cause large brain tissue necrosis and softening, leading to brain atrophy and dementia. Animal experiments suggest that when the blood sugar of monkeys falls below1.1mmol/L (20 mg/dl), it can cause persistent nervous system damage.
Cardiac complications
When hypoglycemia occurs, the sympathetic chromaffin system is excited, leading to increased heart rate or sinus tachycardia. However, very few patients are complicated with sinus bradycardia. Many other arrhythmias may also occur, such as atrial premature beats, supraventricular tachycardia, ventricular premature beats and short bursts of ventricular tachycardia. Patients with coronary heart disease often suffer from angina pectoris or even myocardial infarction due to hypoglycemia. However, due to diabetic neuropathy or weakened response to pain in old age, it is often painless myocardial infarction, which may be one of the important reasons for sudden death of diabetic patients.
Other complications
Somogyi's reaction will aggravate the condition of diabetes, even ketosis. Repeated hypoglycemia can alleviate the warning symptoms of hypoglycemia and promote the generation of unconscious hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemic coma secretions or foreign bodies inhaled into trachea by mistake can easily cause lung abscess or other lung infections, and even induce acute respiratory distress syndrome (ARDS).
If hypoglycemia cannot be alleviated and the blood sugar concentration continues to decrease for more than 6 hours, it will cause irreversible morphological changes of brain cells, such as congestion, spotty bleeding and brain tissue damage. If not diagnosed and treated correctly in time, brain edema, ischemic punctate necrosis, encephalomalacia, dementia, coma, shock and even death may occur. Hypoglycemia is not an independent disease, and many reasons can cause hypoglycemia. After diagnosis, check the causes of hypoglycemia.
What is good for hypoglycemia? It is best for patients with hypoglycemia to eat a few meals, about 6 ~ 8 meals a day. Eating a small amount of snacks and snacks before going to bed will also help. In addition, we should alternate food types and don't eat certain foods often, because allergies are often related to hypoglycemia. Food allergy will aggravate the condition and make the symptoms more complicated. Have a balanced diet, including at least 50? 60% carbohydrates.
Strictly limit the intake of monosaccharides and try to eat less refined processed products. Avoid fruits and juices with high sugar content. Also eat less macaroni, noodles, gravy, white rice, cornflakes and sweet potatoes. Beans and potatoes can be eaten twice a week. A high-fiber diet helps to stabilize blood sugar concentration. Fiber can be used with protein food when blood sugar drops. Eating fresh apples instead of applesauce, the fiber in apples can inhibit the fluctuation of blood sugar, and you can also add a glass of juice to quickly increase the blood sugar concentration.
In fact, we need to pay attention to the occurrence of these complications, and we must pay attention to relief methods and effective diet in our daily life, so as to be beneficial to our health. Don't neglect your own life at ordinary times, and pay attention to improving your immunity in your daily life, and have a comprehensive diet. I hope everyone can pay attention to the harm of hypotension, comprehensive nursing and improve the physical quality of *.
