How to View Diabetic Complications Rationally?
People with diabetes may develop complications. When we talk about diabetic complications, we often think of diabetic foot, diabetic cardiovascular disease, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic peripheral neuropathy, diabetic autonomic neuropathy, and so on. We all know that diabetic complications can be serious, so how should we view them rationally? First, it is important to clarify that […]
Multidisciplinary Collaborative Management of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD)
Professor Yang Shufang from Taizhou People’s Hospital Affiliated with Nanjing Medical University shared insights on the current management status of Metabolic Dysfunction-Associated Steatotic Liver Disease (MASLD).Given that MASLD involves numerous risk factors including obesity, glycemic abnormalities, and metabolic disorders, its treatment requires multidisciplinary collaboration. Core therapeutic strategies focus on reducing body mass index (BMI) and […]
How to Self-Screen for Diabetic Peripheral Neuropathy?
Chronic hyperglycemia causes nerve damage. Statistics indicate that approximately 50% of diabetic patients develop neuropathy, among which peripheral neuropathy is the most common type, accounting for about 75% of all diabetic neuropathies. Clinical manifestations vary depending on whether large nerve fibers or small nerve fibers are damaged. Early symptoms are subtle. As the condition progresses, […]
Causes of Osteoporosis in Diabetic Patients
Bone health requires special attention in people with diabetes, as osteoporosis develops due to the combined effects of multiple factors. From metabolic disorders to lifestyle habits, every link can become an invisible threat to bone health. Below is an in-depth analysis of these influencing factors.Abnormal calcium-phosphorus metabolism is a key contributing factor. When blood glucose […]
How is Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy Treated?
Diabetic autonomic neuropathy can be managed through blood glucose control, medication, lifestyle modifications, and other interventions. Management of diabetic autonomic neuropathy is a long-term process.Patients should maintain close communication with their medical team, attend regular follow‑ups, and adjust the treatment plan according to changes in their condition.
Common Symptoms of Diabetic Autonomic Neuropathy
Diabetes is a chronic disease, and long-term high blood glucose can lead to various complications. Among them, autonomic neuropathy is one of the common diabetic complications, mainly manifested as orthostatic hypotension, cardiac autonomic neuropathy, gastrointestinal symptoms, abnormal urination, abnormal sweating, and so on.
Pathogenesis and Symptoms of Diabetic Peripheral Circulation Disorder
Diabetic peripheral circulation disorder is a complication in diabetic patients caused by long-term hyperglycemia, which leads to microangiopathy and peripheral nerve injury, resulting in insufficient blood supply to the extremities (such as hands and feet).It is characterized by numbness, pain, coldness and other symptoms, and may lead to ulceration or necrosis in severe cases.I. Pathogenesis […]
Latest Study: Insufficient Blood Pressure Monitoring Is Strongly Associated with Poor Clinical Outcomes in Elderly Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease
A real-world study published in Diabetes, Obesity and Metabolism, including more than 180,000 elderly patients with type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and chronic kidney disease (CKD), systematically analyzed the relationships between blood pressure levels, missing blood pressure recordings, cardiovascular outcomes, and all-cause mortality.Using the UK Clinical Practice Research Datalink (CPRD), the study established the largest […]
Latest Study: For Elderly Patients with Diabetic Kidney Disease, Lower Blood Pressure Is Not Necessarily Safer
Against the background of population aging and a high prevalence of comorbid chronic diseases, type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM), chronic kidney disease (CKD), and hypertension form an overlapping risk network in the elderly population, with cardiovascular disease remaining the leading cause of death in this group. Blood pressure control plays a key role in reducing […]
