Hyperglycemia is an important factor in causing infections. According to the Korean Diabetes Association, the risk of infection increases when blood sugar rises above 200 mg/dl. What are the infectious diseases that threaten diabetics?
Urinary Tract Infections: People with diabetes are two to three times more likely to develop a urinary tract infection than people without diabetes. This is because autonomic neuropathy occurs and urination disorders appear. Depending on the site of infection, symptoms such as urinary discharge, urination pain, itching, flank pain, fever, chills, and frequent urination occur, and antibiotics are administered to treat them.
Foot Infection: Diabetic foot infection is common enough to occur in 1 in 4 people with diabetes. Because the feet are far from the heart, they are often affected by peripheral neuropathy and autonomic neuropathy. For treatment, antibacterial agents are administered and, if necessary, surgical treatment such as drainage and removal of necrotic tissue is performed.
Nonencephalomycosis: Nonencephalomycosis is an infectious disease that causes symptoms such as pain around the nose or eyes, blurred vision, convulsions, and coma as germs enter the nose or mouth and migrate to the eyes and head. ‘Ketoacidemia’ occurs frequently in patients, so it is necessary to control blood sugar well and prevent ketoacidosis.
Pulmonary tuberculosis and influenza: Pulmonary tuberculosis and influenza have been reduced in incidence and improved prognosis due to vaccines, anti-tuberculosis drugs, and insulin treatment, but diabetics still need to be careful. Influenza vaccination is essential every year, especially if you are elderly or have a heart-related disease.
