Experts remind that, controlling blood sugar is the key, but some patients at home self-test is invalid.

Bacheng winter skin itch with diabetes
Chinese medicine hospital in Guangzhou reporter learned that the hospital beds are now Endocrinology 26 diabetic patients were all filled, “had to go back a number of pre-holiday, all the corridors before the patient bed.” Jane Xiao-bing, director of the hospital told the Endocrine journalists, in the winter since the hospitalized patients, almost all accompanied by skin lesions, or diabetic foot.
Coincidentally, the reporter learned from the Second Affiliated Hospital of Sun Yat-sen Integrated Branch South Branch compound that is currently occupied with diabetes has been the number of patients in the inpatient section of 1 / 4, the hospital had an extra bed. Associate Professor Zhang Jin hospital medicine, said the incidence of diabetic foot has improved significantly during the winter months, many patients are hospitalized, most accompanied by skin lesions. “Guangzhou in winter there are at least Bacheng diabetics have skin itching occurs, and some of it will lead to diabetic foot, the winter is that this period of high incidence of two types of disease.” Experts.
It is understood that diabetes is a diabetic skin lesions, one of the major complications, including diabetes, the incidence of skin pruritus as high as 30% or more, while the cold winter, the incidence of even soared to the highest value. Doctors in clinical practice have been found to have 90% of diabetic patients with skin disease, “a full 50% higher than in summer.” Expert said. In addition, patients should pay attention to the phenomenon of the feet if there is a crack, it is likely to be diabetic foot aura, but also in the winter-prone.
Jane soldier introduction, diabetes, skin pruritus, as well as the underlying causes of diabetic foot is elevated blood sugar, plus Guangzhou, dry winter weather, cold, blood vessels shrink lesions, it appears the disease. “Blood sugar caused by the skin resistance decreased, while the skin glands of the body fluids, sugar content increased, forming a hotbed for breeding bacteria or fungi; blood sugar can also cause peripheral nerve sensory dysfunction, autonomic disorders, skin and sweat secretion reduction in itching caused by dry skin. In addition, hyperglycemia also against the local blood vessels, causing vascular occlusion caused progressive necrosis of skin lipid. Therefore, many patients with diabetes is difficult to escape the winter skin itch. ”
Jane soldier said. According to reports, diabetes, multiple skin lesions, including skin infections, skin pruritus, skin redness, eczema, no sweat disease, purpura, and tibialis anterior pigment spots and so on.
Lowering blood glucose control can only complete skin itch

“We found that many people do not want to the hospital for monitoring of blood glucose, but the effect of self-monitoring at home is very poor, and some even basic invalid, onset skin and diabetic foot is not surprising.” Jane soldier told reporters that a two years ago, “disappeared” because of the old patient’s skin, a sudden itch to “revive” the results are very severe hyperglycemia. It turned out he normally eat their own medicines and rarely monitored. “If you blindly oral hypoglycemic agents and the occasional monitoring of blood glucose, can not guarantee a good blood glucose control, as long-term use of oral hypoglycemic agents have the possibility of failure; In addition, because of the economic cost considerations, some patients using the conservation can be a box of Measuring blood glucose test strips with the long period of use after the fact, Kaifeng, probably no longer valid test paper is not accurate. “soldier said Jane.
Diabetics should drink plenty of water in winter and less bath
