Serious complication of diabetes called diabetic ketoacidosis do you know the seven signs symptoms of this serious complication that leads to death a complication that has the potential to be fatal and kills thousands of diabetics every year this complication can be avoided as long as you know and seek help before reaching a more critical period, certain diabetic SOS is called an acute complication of why Because it happens quickly, unlike chronic complications such as heart attack, cardiovascular diseases, because when blood sugar increases until you have damage to your heart, for example, this can it can take years when you have high blood sugar and have a kidney disease called diabetic nephropathy, this can also take years to develop. Do you have time to take tests, identify and treat diabetic patients, as it is an acute complication, it is a matter of days, sometimes a week, sometimes 15 days, so it's important that even if your exams are up to date, you pay attention to these seven signs and symptoms to seek help . we have a lot of time on this complication I am a specialist in ocn olia and also in diabetes and I will share a little of my knowledge and unfortunately right diabetic acidosis is still very common let's go What are the seven signs and symptoms I will start in descending order sign number seven it's a lot of thirst and a lot of urine in medical language we call this polydipsia and polyuria when blood sugar is very high our body tries to defend itself and compensate this in two ways the first the kidneys start to eliminate sugar they start to eliminate glucose generally this mechanism of eliminating glucose starts to happen when sugar is higher than 180 So it's not a value that high, it's not even 400 450 as I said at the beginning of the video higher than 180 this mechanism already starts to happen the other mechanism of defense is that our body has the stimulus to drink more liquids you are more thirsty and end up drinking a lot of water in an attempt to compensate This increase in sugar so pay attention to the amount of liquids you are drinking per day if it increases it could be a sign that your blood sugar is very high and you may have an acute complication of diabetes sign number six unexplained rapid weight loss of more than 10% of your body weight within less than a month you should look for emergency to see what is happening of course if there is no cause You haven't changed your diet you haven't started exercising you are simply losing weight and you don't know why this can happen weight loss Oh but I thought diabetes made you gain weight when sugar is too much high in the blood we have a change in the hormone insulin in the case of type one diabetes our body no longer produces insulin it suffered an autoimmune attack in the insulin producing cells of the pancreas in the Beta cells So you no longer have the production What does insulin do it takes sugar from the blood and puts it into the tissues inside the muscles and as insulin is an anabolic hormone it makes you gain weight it makes you build muscle mass it also has these anabolic functions if you don't have insulin you will lose weight even if you are eating a lot One of the stimuli I will put here at number six is weight loss and you may have an increase in hunger, right?
In contrast, losing more than 10% of your weight is a warning sign that is often ignored, it is not weight loss. healthy and you should be concerned and you should evaluate your blood sugar levels quickly you are enjoying this video it is useful so I will ask you to like this video let's set a goal of 7,000 likes each like is important for the content to be distributed in this way way the system understands that the video is relevant and ends up spreading this information we have already seen that it is a serious complication that can even lead to death if we spread this information we will save lives we cannot even we will save more lives So help me and like this video and in this way you will be helping other people and if you are not subscribed here to the channel I invite you to click on the subscribe button and also activating the notification bell puts all the options this way whenever I post YouTube will send you a notification you will follow the new videos sign number C nausea and vomiting for many years I treated medical emergencies in the emergency room and for some diabetic acidosis I remember very well that patients arrived referring to vomiting because this happens for our body to produce energy Since you can't take advantage of the sugar in your blood, you won't have the hormone insulin, our body starts to produce ketone bodies and these bodies ketones they cause nausea they cause vomiting it can also cause abdominal pain so nausea and vomiting This means that everyone who has nausea who has vomiting should go to the emergency room . having nausea, vomiting is also another sign that is suggestive of diabetic ketoacidosis, so pay attention to this, I will include along with number five abdominal pain, which patients also refer to.
Those who have diabetic ketoacidosis often say that they have pain in the abdominal region and the sign number four since I talked about CET bodies which are a product of our energy production that does not come from glucose breath one of the ways to eliminate ketone bodies is through breathing because when ketone bodies are in excess in our body they can intoxicate ourselves and one of the ways to compensate for this, you can see that our body has every effect to try to compensate for the increase in blood sugar, the increase in ketone bodies, is through breathing through breath, so conical breath, I also remember once that I was In the emergency room, the patient arrived, feeling his breath before talking to the patient, just feeling his breath, which is keto breath, I was already able to formulate the hypothesis of diabetic ketoacidosis and it really confirmed it because it is a very characteristic breath, so pay attention to changes in bad breath this could also be a sign of diabetic ketoacidosis and number three tiredness a weakness that fatigue you already wake up tired you even managed to sleep but wake up tired patients report a lack of energy difficulty in doing daily tasks why despite you having sugar in the blood you are not taking advantage of that sugar so your body will be tired you will be fatigued this sign of fatigue in patients who T CET diabetic acidosis more than 80% see this sign of weakness so pay attention to how your energy is reduced energy, you have a low battery, as many people say, it seems like I have a low battery, I'm waking up tired, someone once told me that it marked me, it seems like they put a weight on my legs, do you realize that it really becomes difficult to do normal activities and sign number two is mental confusion, difficulty in thinking, difficulty in formulating ideas in the same way, this sign is also mentioned a lot, it is very present in patients who have this complication of diabetic ketoacidosis because your body has a metabolic change, you cannot use glucose, this can cause changes in thinking, difficulty concentrating, reduced focus and the number one sign is changes in breathing, short breaths, heavy breathing due to ketone bodies to try to compensate for this, we have already seen that through breathing, the body tries to eliminate these ketone bodies and also due to the reduction of energy so it is a more serious sign it is a warning sign if you have short breaths heavy breathing there is even a medical term I don't want to talk medical terms here because I am talking to the general population called Kussmaul breathing , this heavy breathing and short breath is a pattern very suggestive of diabetic ketoacidosis from zero to 10 What rating do you give for this video if it is 10 I make more videos like this now I will leave a suggestion for you to watch it is a video I mentioned nine foods that do not increase blood sugar are excellent for those with diabetes or pre-diabetics.
