Diabetes, the leading concern of recent era.Visibly, it causes many harm but still, people aren't aware of it.
Diabetes means when your blood contains more sugar then normal range.Normally, our body secrets insulin to neutralize our blood glucose at a normal level.But when our body fails to secret insulin or insulin itself fails to neutralize glucose, blood glucose level rises high.In medical science, this condition is named as Diabetes mellitus.
Family history of DM, sedentary life style,lack of physical activity,consuming junk foods on regular basis,smoking these are some causes of diabetes.
But why i am writing these so suddenly? Recently i have got a neglected case of uncontrolled DM where patient came to me with infection on his great toe.Organisms love to eat sugar like you and me.When your blood contains more sugar that means you are welcoming organisms.And if you are not maintaining your lifestyle, not taking proper drugs on time, something bad is waiting for you,like this patient i have met.When i started to debride his dead tissues i felt thats not in my hand.I had to call the senior surgeon, and when senior surgeon gave a visit he commented on patient that he needs amputation of his great toe.
Patient was admitted to hospital,exogenous insulin was injected and amputation was done.Patient got fever of 105 degree farenhyte due to infection.
I have seen many worst outcome of diabetes then this.I feel to share it to make you concern.Always remember '3D' to follow in diabetes "Diet,Drug,Discipline".
Hope my article would help you to some extent. Happy reading.
