Diabetes: Diabetic Emergencies

Diabetes Emergency Introduction Diabetes is an important and rapidly growing health problem in the United States. About 16 million Americans are suffering from diabetes - this number is increasing every day. Every day people are experiencing a diabetic emergency. What is a diabetic emergency? So, first of all we need to understand what diabetes is. Diabetes is a disease that affects how your body uses blood sugar (or is often referred to as blood sugar) Your body can not absorb sugar from your blood and can be used as energy I will not bring it.

What's the problem? Diabetes is a new global pandemic. The World Health Organization (WHO) believes that between 365 and 2030 worldwide, 347 million people suffer from diabetes, the number of deaths due to diabetes doubles, and 80% comes from the poorer countries I estimate. Diabetes is a major cause of blindness, amputation and kidney failure, and it is a heavy burden for the global medical system. The management of diabetes relies heavily on accurate monitoring of the patient's blood glucose level, but the traditional blood glucose monitor that relies on so-called electrostatic electrochemistry has an accuracy of ± 20%. Many factors from paracetamol to vitamin C may distort the blood sample. The challenge is how to improve the accuracy of blood glucose monitoring, which is the goal of Cambridge research through innovative electrochemistry.

One of the most common complications of diabetes is called "diabetic retinopathy" (DR). Diabetic retinopathy refers to ocular damage caused by changes in glucose levels in retinal blood vessels. Failure to do so may lead to blindness. Currently, 100 million people with diabetes suffer from this disease. This is the second leading cause of blindness in India. The problem is that this is completely preventable.

Diabetic Retinopathy: One of the microvascular complications of diabetes characterized by blindness or reduced vision. That is, diabetic retinopathy represents retinal and vitreous hemorrhage or retinal capillary obstruction caused by an increase in A1C, a measure of blood glucose or sugar levels. In fact, as AlC increases, there is a greater risk of developing diabetic retinopathy than developing other microvascular complications associated with diabetes (eg chronic hyperglycemia, diabetic neuropathy, and diabetic nephropathy ). Only 8% of adults over the age of 40 years experienced visually impaired diabetic retinopathy (eg, nonproliferative diabetic retinopathy or NPDR and proliferative diabetic retinopathy or PDR), but this eye disease is 2002 It caused blindness in the year. 17%
