Do people with asymptomatic diabetes need treatment immediately?

Do people with asymptomatic diabetes need treatment immediately?  The patient has been diabetic for several years, but there are no obvious symptoms. Isn’t it necessary to take medicine?

If you have had diabetes for several years, even there are no obvious symptoms, do you need to take medicine?  Diabetes without symptoms has the same harm to humans and requires treatment.

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by insidious onset and high blood sugar. The typical symptoms are “threee more ” and “one less”, and  ” threee more” are eating more, drinking more, and urinating more, and “one less” is weight loss. In addition, there are symptoms such as dry mouth, fatigue, drowsiness, blurred vision, numbness of hands and feet, frequent boils and sores, and wounds that do not heal easily.

But not all patients have obvious symptoms. The main reasons are as follows:

① The onset of diabetes is hidden, such as drinking more water unknowingly, and it did not attract the patient’s attention. Moreover, in the early stage of diabetes, when the blood sugar is not significantly high, there are no symptoms.

② No obvious symptoms appear until the blood sugar reaches a certain level. Studies have found that only when the blood glucose is greater than 15mmol/L and lasts for a period of time, will there be obvious symptoms of three over and one less, and when the fasting blood glucose is greater than or equal to 7.0mmol/L, diabetes can be diagnosed;

③ I don’t understand the relevant knowledge of diabetes. Although some patients have experienced the typical symptoms of “three more” and “one less”, they are not aware of the danger of diabetes and think that they “can eat and drink for good health.” This kind of mentality is very It is easy to delay treatment.

It can be seen that diabetic patients may have been suffering for many years without knowing it. Many people have suffered serious complications, and they know that diabetes is the cause of the disease when they go to the hospital for rescue. If you do not actively treat, the consequences are very serious.

As the saying goes: Diabetes is not terrible. The terrible thing is complications. There are more than 100 kinds from head to toe. Diabetes complications are mainly caused by high blood sugar damaging blood vessels. Complications occur where there are blood vessels.

According to the size of damaged blood vessels, it can be divided into microvascular complications and macrovascular complications. Microvascular complications include: diabetic eye disease, diabetic nephropathy, diabetic foot disease, etc., and macrovascular complications include: coronary heart disease, myocardial infarction, cerebral infarction, cerebral hemorrhage and other cardiovascular and cerebrovascular diseases. The consequences are either death or disability.

Therefore, if diabetic patients do not have obvious symptoms of “three more and one less”, and diet and exercise alone cannot make blood sugar control normal, they still have to receive treatment, adhere to maintenance and regular inspections, and do not wait until “three more and one less” appear. The symptoms are treated.

Monitoring, controlling blood sugar, preventing and treating complications is a long process, and it is not a matter of one or two days that the blood sugar situation is good. In addition, friends who do not have diabetes should check their bodies regularly to understand their own conditions, so as to achieve early detection, early intervention, and early treatment.
