Arteries Of Lower Extremity

According to a U.S. national survey conducted in 2007 on diabetes, there are 23. 6 million people who suffer from diabetes, equivalent to 7.8 percent of the population the country. The total count of 23.6 million includes those who have been diagnosed, those who do not have and some 57 million people who found the meaning of pre-diabetic their physical conditions put them at high risk of developing it.

Demonstration

Blood glucose levels in people without diabetes have a normal range. Digested food is converted into a form of sugar called glucose that circulates in the bloodstream into body cells. A hormone called insulin that is produced by the pancreas stops making glucose through the body's cells to energize the body use or store. patients with diabetes do not produce enough insulin, which means that there is enough of it to perform the function of passing through the glucose into cells. The levels of glucose in the blood that trigger at the same time cells remain hungry for it.

body's way of getting rid of these high blood glucose levels is by way of excretion of urine glucose produces symptoms similar to frequent urination, thirst that is not easily turned off, a feeling of starvation rather than hunger alone. Weight loss, sores or bruises that are slow to heal, scaly skin, itching, loss of sensation in the feet, perhaps with tingling in hands and feet and blurred vision may develop in patients with diabetes if glucose is not handled properly by the way of medications, proper exercise and diet program.

Diabetes is chronic illness, which means you can control or treat the symptoms but not completely cured. It also is a progressive disease, meaning that for managed or treated can lead to serious health complications.

With treatment, blood glucose level may be so is not excessive, but within a healthy range.

Diabetes-related complications

Diabetic patients suffer from a number of health complications related to his condition. These can be grouped into three general categories:

1) nerve damage

Up to 50 percent of diabetics suffer from disorders of the system nervous that they do feel pain and weakness in the extremities can also cause tingling or numbness in the lower extremity. The legs and feet are most affected.

2) Damaged blood vessels

High glucose levels cause arteries to harden, which can trigger an attack heart disease or poor blood circulation in the feet. This is especially true for those who have had the disease for at least 25 years, also has the pressure high blood pressure and excess weight. Most diabetes-related deaths are a result of heart disease.

3) The damage to blood vessels small

The small blood vessels such as capillaries are also prone to damage. They are thick, sticky blood can not flow easily causing leaks. Again, the circulation is affected not only members but also the eyes and kidneys are affected and can lead to blindness and kidney disease.
