In diabetes as a result of hyperglycemia may develop eye diseases that lead to impaired vision until the loss. The most common and dangerous complication is diabetic retinopathy.

The causes of retinopathy.
The most important causes that affect the occurrence and rate of development of retinopathy is the blood glucose level and duration of diabetes. Other important factors include age, presence and degree of hypertension, lipid disorders, smoking, renal disease and pregnancy.

How develops retinopathy?
The retina lines the eye and receives light from within. Food to the retina Continue reading »

Osmotic pressure in the blood is maintained by dynamic equilibrium diffusion processes between blood cells and the intercellular space. By developing pathological processes associated with an excess of blood osmolality (hyperosmolar), resulting to decrease of the less concentrated solution – the body’s cells, the fluid becomes more concentrated solution – the blood. As a result, fluid is drawn as it arises from the cells and their dehydration (dehydration).

Now we give the definition of this complication.
Hyperosmolar coma – is an acute complication of diabetes caused by insulin deficiency and characterized by hyperglycemia, hyperosmolar blood Continue reading »

It should be noted that hypoglycemia is an unavoidable consequence of a good compensation of diabetes mellitus on the background of insulin. However, even mild hypoglycemia should not be too frequent (more than three per week).

The study on control of diabetes and complications has been shown that hypoglycemia – a lesser evil compared with late complications of diabetes.

Hypoglycemia as a cause of death is very rare, because a significant reduction in blood glucose in the body included the processes of self-regulation, increased sugar and Continue reading »

What is hypoglycemia (definition)?

Hypoglycemia – reduction in blood glucose level to a value at which the body and especially the brain cells lack glucose and energy hungry. This leads to a disruption of their function, which manifests various clinical symptoms.

There are true and false (but no less dangerous) hypoglycemia. False differs from the true fact that in the presence of clinical symptoms characteristic of hypoglycemia, blood glucose values ​​may be normal or elevated. This typically is when there is a rapid decrease in blood sugar from high values, eg from 20-25 to 10-15 mg / dL. With true hypoglycemic blood glucose Continue reading »

Complications of diabetes.

All complications of diabetes are classified into early (or acute) and later. In the book covers only the most frequent complications, but they do not exhaust all the complications. Perhaps there is no such body, which in varying degrees, would not suffer from high blood sugar. That is why diabetes called the disease complications.

Determination of acute complications of diabetes.

For acute complications (acute decompensation) diabetes include Continue reading »
