Severe Limitations of Self-Identifying Diabetic Complications Based on Symptoms

Diabetic complications commonly include diabetic foot, cardiovascular diseases, diabetic nephropathy, autonomic neuropathy, peripheral neuropathy, ketoacidosis, and others. Diabetic complications present certain typical symptoms, which we have also listed in blog articles. The purpose is to popularize knowledge about diabetes and help people with diabetes stay more alert to complications. People often try to match their […]

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 […]

Abnormal Blood Lipid Levels Can Lead to Diabetic Complications

If there are various upward or downward arrows on your blood lipid test report, it indicates dyslipidemia.Dyslipidemia is a major risk factor for diabetic vascular disease.In this case, lowering total cholesterol and low-density lipoprotein cholesterol (LDL-C) can significantly reduce the risk of macrovascular complications and death in diabetic patients, which is the primary goal of […]

Pay Attention to Abnormal Blood Pressure to Prevent Diabetic Complications

Diabetes combined with high blood pressure significantly increases the risk of occurrence and progression of macrovascular and microvascular complications, as well as the risk of death in patients.Conversely, controlling high blood pressure can markedly reduce the risk of diabetic complications and cardiovascular events.For most patients with diabetes and hypertension, the blood pressure control target is […]

Blood Glucose Variability: A Key Indicator for Preventing Diabetic Complications

Blood glucose variability refers to the constant fluctuation of blood glucose between peaks and troughs. It is one of the important indicators for evaluating glycemic control, and its harm to chronic diabetic complications is more severe than persistent hyperglycemia.We commonly use two indicators to assess blood glucose variability: Reminder:The poorer the function of pancreatic β-cells, […]

Precautions for Preventing Diabetic Complications: Pay Attention to Abnormal Glycated Hemoglobin Levels

Glycated hemoglobin (HbA1c) reflects blood glucose levels over 8–12 weeks and is the gold standard for assessing long-term glycemic control. It serves three functions: Glycated hemoglobin is closely associated with both microvascular and macrovascular diabetic complications.Each 1% reduction in glycated hemoglobin lowers the risk of all diabetes-related endpoints and diabetes-related death by 21%, myocardial infarction […]
