Why Diabetes Foot Wounds Getting Slow Healing?

For this case study, diabetes wounds especially foot ulcers

or wounds take longest to healing, even well control of

blood sugar levels, proper monitoring dressing, compare to

others diabetes wounds.

This patient take around 10 months completed wounds healing.

Daily insulin injections are required from 2 times per day,

have been reduced to 1 times injection, after 2 months

treatment. Maintain a normal glucose level 6-7 mmol/L.

Medical report was shown that kidney problem become normal

after 2 months treatment, when patient follow-up check-up

second months in general Hospital. 

Some of the reason why diabetes foot wounds getting slow
healing

-Patient frequently walking.

-Blood circulation for foot blockage.

-Not control for eating food like seafood,egg,beans,dessert,

  instant noodles.

-Not completely use combination product due to can't effort

  to pay cost of use product continuously during several

  months.Only use main important product (cellfood,tropical

  gel,guarana).

-Reduce intake product daily.
-Foot skin too thick, getting long period to grow out.

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.

Symptoms Of Diabetes Type 1 And Type 2

Common Symptoms:

-Fatigue :The body is inefficient and sometimes unable to use
 glucose for fuel.The body switches over to metabolizing fat,
 partially or completely, as a fuel source.This process requires
 the body to use more energy.The end result is feeling fatigued
 or constantly tired.

-Weight Loss :People with diabetes are unable to process
 many of the calories in the foods they eat.They may lose
 weight even though they eat an apparently appropriate or
 even excessive amount of food. Losing sugar and water in
 the urine and the accompanying dehydration also contributes
 to weight loss.

-Excessive Thirst :A person with diabetes develops high
 blood sugar levels, which overwhelms the kidney's ability
 to reabsorb the sugar as the blood is filtered to make
 urine. Excessive urine is made as the kidney spills the
 excess sugar.The body tries to counteract this by sending
 a signal to the brain to dilute the blood,which translates
 into thirst.The body encourages more water consumption to
 dilute the high blood sugar back to normal levels and to
 compensate for the water lost by excessive urination.

-Excessive Urination :Another way the body tries to get rid
 of the extra sugar in the blood is to excrete it in the urine.
 This can also lead to dehydration because excreting the
 sugar carries a large amount of water out of the body
 along with it.

-Excessive Eating :If the body is able, it will secrete more
 insulin in order to try to deal with the excessive blood
 sugar levels. Moreover,the body is resistant to the action
 of insulin in type 2 diabetes.One of the functions of insulin  is to
 stimulate hunger.Therefore, higher insulin levels lead to
 increased hunger and eating.Despite increased caloric intake,
 the person may gain very little weight and may even lose weight.

-Poor Diabetes Wounds Healing :Normally, high blood sugar
 levels prevent white blood cells, which are important in
 defending the body against bacteria and also in cleaning
 up dead tissue and cells.When these cells do not function
 properly,it will affected diabetes wounds take long time
 to heal and become infected more frequently and also,
 long-standing diabetes is associated with thickening of
 blood vessels, which prevents good circulation including
 the delivery of enough oxygen and other nutrients to body
 tissues.

-Infections:Certain infection syndromes, such as frequent
 yeast infections of the genitals,skin infections, and
 frequent urinary tract infections,may result from
 suppression of the immune system by diabetes and by the
 presence of glucose in the tissues,which allows bacteria
 to grow well.

-Altered Mental Status :Agitation,unexplained irritability,
 inattention,extreme lethargy,or confusion can all be
 signs of very high blood sugar,ketoacidosis,hyperosmolar
 hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome,or hypoglycemia
 (low blood sugar).Thus,any of these merit the immediate
 attention of a medical professional.Call your health care
 provider.
