Covered Diabetes Wounds And Ulcers Really Heal Faster ?

For my experience with a diabetes wounds case study, proved
that, diabetes wounds with a covered using bandages and gauze,
wouldn't be getting healing faster.

Covered diabetes wounds and ulcers with bandages will causing
more serious and complicated affect wounds healing faster, if
compare with normal wounds.

What is a causes, if diabetes wounds covered ?

-Affect blood circulation of the foot
 When i was make appointment to patient in hospital, i saw patient
 diabetes foot wounds, covered with tighten bandages, upper-side foot
 faced swelling, effected blood circulation.

Diabetes patient can't control blood sugar very well during long term
period, will causing nerve damage, the blood flow to the nerves is limited,
leaving the nerves without blood flow, and they get damaged or die as a
known as ischemia. The foot become numbness, burning, aching of the
feet lower extremities and complete loss of sensation in the feet.

You arms and legs are supplied by long blood vessels, which may be
blocked as a result of diabetes, smoking, and high cholesterol. As the
blood supply becomes interrupted, patients normally complain that their
calves are painful or cramp during walking.

 In severe situations,the leg lose all sensations of pain such that small
 ulcers,wounds and cuts go unnoticed. The skin is also lacking in blood
 supply, healing of the ulcer and wounds is very slow or not possible.
 If diabetes wounds covered with bandages and gauze, this will make
 more serious complicated, and slow down wounds healing process.

-Affect fresh tissue of flesh growing faster
 Diabetes wounds need to wait the fresh tissue of flesh has completely
 grown in place filling the deep dented wounds, with follow by the growth
 of new layer of skin till it finally cover the wounded area. This stage, the
 wounds has fully healed internally and externally.

 Covered diabetes wounds with bandages will causing blockage of oxygen.
 New growing wounds tissue needs more oxygen for growing, if the blood
 can not flow to the feet very well with less oxygen, this will causes more
 complicated slow down fresh tissue of wounds growing.

-Affect fresh tissue of flesh growing stitches on bandages and gauze 
 When Covered diabetes wounds with bandages and gauze, new growing
  fresh tissue of wounds will be stitches seriously on the gauze, it will causing
 damage new cell and tissue of wounds during daily dressing, when remove
 or changes new bandages and gauze.

-Affect diabetes wounds generated more serious bad smell pus
 For diabetes wounds which will accumulated serious smelly pus and causing
 increasing with expansion wounds area,wounds getting worst, this will be
slow down wounds healing process. All the yellow or grayish pus must
random press it out from the wounds and ulcer during dressing.

If the wounds and ulcers without covered with bandages and 
gauze, it can lead an infection. What is a best ways to overcome 
an infection with uncovered diabetes wounds and ulcers to get 
heal faster? It will be discuss in next following post.

Diabetes Causes

Why are people with diabetes wounds at high risk of 
nerve pain,heart disease,kidney failure and blindness?

When blood sugar,blood pressure,and cholesterol are out of
control,can lead to some potentially serious complication.

The main complication which is heart attack,stroke,blindness,
kidney failure and diabetes wounds lead to amputation.

Diabetes complications can happens because of uncontrolled
high blood sugar.A lot of people don't really think,how often
diabetes causes serious happen and destroy our health.

If you have uncontrolled diabetes,a serious and deep-seated
foot infection can affect loss of a toe,foot,or leg and an
amputation to save your life.

High blood sugar slowly injures the blood vessels,nerves,and
organs in your body.

Diabetic Neuropathy,which is the damage of nerves in the feet
causing decrease in the sensitivity of the feet.

Diabetic Vasculopathy is another common causes of the feet,
where the blood vessels hardens and becomes narrowed
effected in poor circulation of blood to the feet.This risk can
increased slow healing of wounds of getting foot ulcers,
numbness,nerve pain,burning,and abrasions.

The patients also typically experience tingling sensation,dampness
and coldness in the feet due to poor blood circulation,blister
formation,swelling,redness,calluses,corns or bunions.Fungal
infections due to insufficient blood supply to the fatty tissues
surrounding the toes and foot are quite commonly observed.

Hence,diabetic patients should pay attention,awareness about the
causes of foot disease can reduce the risks of developing serious
problem,as thorough foot care can prevent or delay the effects of
neuropathy.

Heart disease,problem with the heart and blood vessels-Cardiovascular
disease.Heart attack,heart failure,and increased risks of stroke.High
blood sugar,high blood lipid levels,high blood pressure,smoking,
excess body weight is the most important causes of factors for
Cardiovascular disease,those of type 2 diabetes.

Diabetic retinopathy,Major eye complications are linked to blood
vessel problems in the eyes.Diabetes is a leading cause of preventable
blindness.

Diabetic nephropathy,is more common risk in men with diabetes
than women,and is associated with high blood pressure.
Good control of blood sugar and blood pressure can minimizing
the risk of this condition.

The diabetes causes are indeed serious,keeping blood sugar under
control is the most important factor in preventing them. But people
have a hard time grasping just how critical that is.

Type 1 And Type 2 Diabetes

There Are Two Main Types Of Diabetes

In Type 1 diabetes,when insulin producing cell in the
pancreas which help to regulate blood sugar levels have
been destroyed.Type 1 diabetes is also known as juvenile
diabetes because it is mostly diagnosed on patients with
usually starts in childhood,although some people develop
Type 1 diabetes when they are adults below age 35.

Type 1 diabetes,is an autoimmune disease.An autoimmune
disease results when the body's system for fighting infection
(the immune system) turns against a part of the body.In
diabetes,the immune system attacks and destroys the insulin
producing beta cell in the pancreas.The pancreas then
produces little or no insulin.A person who has Type 1
diabetes must take insulin daily to live.

Type 2 diabetes,the cell in the body tissues become unable
to respond properly to insulin.This means that the pancreas
has to work harder to produce more insulin.This causes the
cell in the pancreas become 'worn out' and are unable to
produce insulin as effectively as they used to.This generally
happens after the age of  40.

Type 2 diabetes is most common form of diabetes is most
often associate with older age,obesity,family history of
diabetes,previous history of gestational diabetes,physical
inactivity,and certain ethnicity.

People who are overweight are particularly likely to develop
Type 2 diabetes.However,Type 2 diabetes is increasing
being diagnosed in children and adolescents today.

Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle disease that often can be
prevented or controlled by a proper diet and exercise.

Diabetes Hyperglycemia And Hypoglycemia

Diabetes is a chronic medical condition, meaning that
although it can be controlled, it can threaten in lifetime.

Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized
by high blood sugar (glucose) levels. Glucose is a form
of sugar in the blood,it is the principal source of fuel
for our bodies. When food is digested the glucose makes
its way into bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for
energy and growth.Glucose cannot enter our cells without
insulin being present, insulin makes it possible for our
cells to take in the glucose.

Too much glucose building up in the blood,this excess blood
glucose eventually passes out of the body in urine. So, even
though the blood has plenty of glucose, the cells are not
getting it for their essential energy and growth requirements.

Blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin,
a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood
glucose level. When the blood glucose elevates (for example,
after eating food), insulin is released from the pancreas to
normalize the glucose level.In patients with diabetes, the
absence or insufficient production of insulin causes
hyperglycemia.

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs from time to time in
most people with diabetes. Hypoglycemia is a condition where
the level of glucose in the blood drops too low (below 3.0 mmol/L).
It results from taking too much diabetes medication or insulin
(sometimes called an insulin reaction), missing a meal,doing more
exercise than usual, drinking too much alcohol, or taking certain
medications for other conditions. It is very important to recognize
hypoglycemia and be prepared to treat it at all times. Headache,
feeling dizzy, poor concentration,tremors of hands, and sweating
are common symptoms of hypoglycemia.

When hypoglycemia happens, you can manage it without
medical help, by consuming a sugary food or drink. However,
if hypoglycemia is moderate or severe, you will need help and
possible emergency treatment. It is important to know how to
recognize hypoglycemia before it gets too serious.
