If the blood sugar of diabetic patients is not well controlled, it will not only harden blood vessels, but also cause neuropathy, change the shape of feet and cause ulcers that are difficult to heal. At this time, it is easy to induce infection, and in severe cases, it may face amputation; Tang, director of the Plastic Surgery and Trauma Center of Annan Hospital, pointed out that according to the long-term follow-up of the Foot Trauma Center, from July 103 to June 104, there were 3 1 person and 21person in diabetic foot surgery, and the five-year mortality rate was 38.7%, which should not be ignored.
It is the key to keep away from the complications of diabetes and actively control blood sugar.
The American research report also pointed out that the five-year mortality rate of various diseases ranked as pancreatic cancer, lung cancer, peripheral arterial obstructive disease, amputation, colorectal cancer and diabetic neuropathy, among which 3. 4.6 cases were complications caused by diabetes, and the five-year mortality rate of three diseases combined with pancreatic cancer was much higher than that of the first one; Director Tang said that patients should face up to the complications caused by diabetes and control their blood sugar, which is the fundamental way.
Check your feet every day. If you find a wound, you should actively deal with it.
But how to control blood sugar well, besides diet adjustment, regular follow-up and drug treatment, smoking should also be avoided; Director Tang pointed out that the most important thing is to remember to check your feet every day, apply emulsion for maintenance, prevent cracking, and wear appropriate cotton socks to prevent friction. In addition, if your feet are deformed due to neuropathy, you must wear special insoles and shoes to reduce the difficulty of healing wounds in the same part due to repeated oppression when walking.
Dr. Annan successfully treated 700 cases of diabetic foot by establishing a foot injury center.
Only by controlling blood sugar can we really control our health. If you find a wound, you should also actively accept treatment and cooperate with the doctor to prescribe medicine. Director Tang stressed that in order to provide better care for diabetic patients, Annan Hospital has also integrated plastic surgery, cardiovascular surgery, nephrology, metabolism and endocrinology, and established the Foot Trauma Center, which is the first center in Taiwan Province Province dedicated to treating chronic foot trauma. Up to now, 700 patients with foot trauma have been successfully treated, of which 30% are chronic dialysis patients, and the amputation rate is less than 3%. It is expected to continue to help more diabetic patients in need in the future.
