Among these complications, retinopathy, nephropathy and nervous system disorder are the most common, which are called the "three major complications" of diabetes.
Within 20 years after suffering from diabetes, 80% of diabetic patients will have various complications.
Many diabetic patients will have limb pain, swelling and numbness after illness, which means that the nerve sensitivity of limbs is gradually decreasing and blood circulation is not smooth, which leads to cold and peeling of limbs, and then blisters gradually. The blister burst and the wound could not heal for a long time.
Once the above situation occurs, it will cause diabetic foot.
Clinically, due to the long-term influence of hyperglycemia, diabetic patients have arteriosclerosis, thickened blood vessel wall, decreased elasticity of lower limbs, and blood vessels are prone to thrombosis and plaque formation, which leads to vascular occlusion and nerve injury of lower limbs, thus causing pathological changes of lower limbs.
The "foot" is farthest from the heart, which is prone to microvascular occlusion, leading to edema, blackening, decay and necrosis of lower limbs, especially the foot. Most patients with diabetic foot can only be treated by amputation, bypass or stem cell transplantation after lower limb rot and necrosis.
Of course, we don't want this worst result to happen, so I warned my friends that if they have diabetes, they should be treated with moxibustion.
Moxibustion is effective in treating diabetes.
Moxibustion has the functions of warming channels and dispelling cold, promoting blood circulation and removing blood stasis, relaxing channels and dredging collaterals. Moxibustion can restore nerve function and delay the occurrence of diabetic foot.
I tell you, you need moxibustion at points such as Zhongwan, Shenque, Guanyuan, Ganshu, Danshu, Pishu, Shu Wei, Shenshu and Zusanli on the back and abdomen. Among them, Ganshu, Danshu, Pishu and Shu Wei in the back, Zhongyu, Shenque and Guanyuan in the abdomen.
Use four moxibustion pots or four-eye moxibustion boxes for 40-60 minutes, Shenshu point for 20-30 minutes, and Zusanli point for single moxibustion pot or one-eye moxibustion box 15-30 minutes.
Diabetic patients must be moxibustion step by step. Because the nerve endings of diabetic patients are no longer sensitive, they often can't feel the heat, so moxibustion should be done step by step, so that patients can adapt slowly. Remember to use mild moxibustion, and be sure to avoid scalding the skin and causing moxibustion sores.
For diabetics, once moxibustion sores appear, it is difficult to heal. A friend's mother treated with moxibustion, and the effect was very good. She happily described her mother's treatment experience: her mother suffered from severe diabetes, with high blood sugar, blood pressure and blood lipid, and she was very fat. The symptoms of diabetic foot are particularly serious, so she can't walk more. If she walks too much, she will feel like stepping on a nail and even wearing socks when she sleeps.
She was particularly sad to see her mother like this, but she never found a good solution.
She didn't believe in moxibustion before, but now this situation, in her words, "is also a medical emergency." So I persuaded my mother to try moxibustion to treat diabetes, and made her a four-pot moxibustion pot, mainly for the back and abdomen, and two single-pot moxibustion pots, mainly for Zusanli. After moxibustion for about a week, my mother's feet didn't hurt as much as before. When I measured fasting blood glucose, I found that the value was actually 6. 1. At that time, my mother wondered if the blood glucose meter was not accurate.
In the second week of moxibustion, the fasting blood sugar was only over four o'clock, and my mother was very happy at that time. Since her illness, her blood sugar has never been so low, and she repeatedly said that moxibustion is really a good thing. Now my mother takes the initiative to carry a moxibustion jar every day to lower blood sugar.
The medicine has also been reduced.
Now she can't eat anything as before. Moxibustion has brought great benefits to her mother, and made her whole family realize the magic and convenience of moxibustion.
This friend's mother has benefited a lot from moxibustion, and I am very happy for them. But while I am happy, I still want to persuade such patients to insist on treatment.
Moxibustion is a good method, but for diabetes, which will bring serious consequences, it is necessary not only to treat it with moxibustion, but also to combine medicine with exercise. When taking hypoglycemic drugs, try to reduce the dosage of drugs slowly, not too much at a time, which is easy to make blood sugar unbalanced.
And we should continue to maintain a good lifestyle, quit smoking, exercise less, unreasonable diet, mental stress and other bad States. Change the lifestyle of modern people "going out to take a taxi and going in to find an elevator".
Exercise more, keep a good attitude, limit diet and actively treat. Although diabetes may cause various complications, as long as timely intervention can completely prevent and delay the occurrence of complications.
We can only rely on ourselves to prevent the occurrence and development of diseases. Here I also want to tell you a more specific treatment. According to the symptoms of diabetes, moxibustion can be performed according to the symptoms of polydipsia, and acupoints such as Shu Fei, Guanyuan, Qihai, Yishu (stomach tube summer tree), Sanjiaoshu, Yangchi, Zusanli and Sanyinjiao are selected.
If you have symptoms of overeating and emaciation, choose points such as Zhongwan, Zusanli and Shu Wei.
If you have symptoms of polyuria, choose Mingmen, Shenshu and Zhongji.
Moxibustion with mild moxibustion. Moxibustion at each acupoint lasts for 20-30 minutes, 1 ~ 2 times a day, 10 times is 1 course of treatment.
Having written so much, I actually hope that more people will try moxibustion, and I also hope that more diabetics who choose moxibustion will return to healthy bodies in the near future!
