The risk of diabetes

 

The risk of diabetes

An acquaintance in his mid-60s is in a coma, relying on an oxygen respirator after collapsing from a cerebral hemorrhage not long ago. He usually looked healthy, but he had diabetes, but he didn't treat it properly. Once again, I felt the danger of diabetes.

Korea has the highest death rate from diabetes among OECD countries, and fortunately, diabetes can cause complications such as myocardial infarction, stroke, kidney failure, blindness and amputation of the lower extremities.




An important cause of death in diabetics is cardiovascular disease, and studies show that risk factors such as smoking, hypertension, dyslipidemia, and obesity in diabetics increase the risk of myocardial infarction by 70 times. Chronic renal failure, a kidney complication in diabetics, is also a problem, so the cost of dialysis treatment or kidney transplantation for chronic renal failure is the highest among diabetes complications.

Cardiovascular disease and kidneys are organically affected, and if heart function collapses, it will adversely affect the kidneys, so type 2 diabetes patients with kidney disease are three times more likely to die in the cardiovascular system than diabetics without kidney disease. ​ Even if blood sugar control is successful, neglecting systematic management of risk factors may fail to prevent complications.




​Therefore, it is a natural trend that blood sugar control, risk factor management, and even comprehensive management of cardiovascular and kidney complications become new topics for diabetes treatment.

Diabetes Complications and PBM Therapy

As more and more people suffer from serious diabetes complications, including diabetes feet, the importance of diabetes complications treatment is increasing day by day.

Today, we're going to look at the results of a study in which serious diabetes complications that threaten our lives and degrade our quality of life with various symptoms, including diabetes feet, were recovered with PBM therapy.​

First, 49 subjects with diabetic peripheral neuropathy were treated with red near-infrared energy (MIRE), which had a 98% therapeutic effect. (The Medical Center of Aurora, Aurora, CO, USA, 2002. March. No 92)

Second, it is a clinical result that effectively improved the sensitivity of the foot due to diabetic peripheral neuropathy and significantly reduced the incidence of new foot injuries. (Northwest Orthopedic Center, Springdale, AR, USA, July 1, 2004)

Third, sensory recovery, pain relief, reduction, and improvement in diabetic peripheral neuropathy patients (Joslin Center for Diabetes, Morton Plant Measure Healthcare, Clearwater, Florida 33756, USA, January 27, 2004).

Fourth, 1, Peripheral nerve sensation in type 2 diabetics has been restored. In other words, near-infrared ray therapy (PLT) has been shown to increase peripheral sensation in diabetics with diabetic peripheral neuropathy (DPN) (Physical Therapy Department, East Tennessee State University, 7062, Johnson City, TN 37614, USA, May 2006, No. 4)

​Maintain glycosylated hemoglobin at 6.5 to 7% or less

What are the complications of leaving diabetes unattended? Diabetes complications can be divided into "acute complications" that can lead to coma or death, and "chronic complications" that occur due to persistent hyperglycemia.

Acute diabetes complications are caused by a sharp rise or fall in blood sugar. In "hyperglycemia" caused by low blood sugar, "diabetic ketoacidosis" and "hyperosmotic hyperglycemia syndrome" can occur as blood sugar continues to rise abnormally.




Chronic complications can be largely divided into diabetic microvascular complications (diabetic neuropathy, diabetic neuropathy, diabetic retinopathy) and diabetic large vascular complications (ischemic heart disease, cerebrovascular disease, and peptic arteriosclerosis).

Regular diabetic retinopathy and microalbuminuria measurements are required to diagnose microvascular complications early. In addition to blood sugar control, "bad" LDL cholesterol should be adjusted to 70-100mg/dL to prevent major vascular complications.



​Even if you have diabetes, it is important to keep it below 6.5 to 7% of glycated hemoglobin by actively controlling blood sugar from the beginning of diagnosis. In addition, proper blood pressure and weight management, treatment of accompanying dyslipidemia, and regular exercise and smoking cessation can lead a healthy life without complications.
