Hypoglycemia, High risk for using insulin
Hypoglycemia, High risk for using insulin - Sugar (glucose) in the blood excessive can damage various major organs, including the heart, nerves, eyes, and kidneys. Indeed, such a result is not immediately perceived. But, if you do not control blood sugar, a condition that would eventually be felt.
Therefore, people with diabetes are advised to maintain blood sugar levels to always be close to normal. However, sometimes the excessive action against diabetes medication can cause low blood sugar (hypoglycemia).
Hypoglycemia was as bad as too high blood sugar levels. Held research experts from Cardiff University on 50,000 patients with type 2 diabetes found that blood sugar levels are too low increases the risk of death, especially in insulin users.
Significant difference in the risk of death was seen among patients taking insulin and those taking medication to increase the release of insulin. There are several hypotheses regarding this matter.
In this study, patients taking insulin are asked not to stop its use. In addition, the age factor and the period of diabetic patients also influential.
"It is not clear whether the use of intensive insulin increases the risk of death or other factors. Still required further testing and research," says lead researcher, Dr Craig Currie.
Responding to the results of this study, Dr Iain Frame, Head of Research at Diabetes UK, said, factors other than insulin, we also have to consider other factors that have more influence on the risk of death, the age and diabetes duration.
"The older the age of the patient, the more diseases are easier to attack. Patient lifestyle factors in controlling blood sugar levels is also very important," said Frame.
Therefore, he suggested that diabetic patients always control their blood sugar levels by diet and exercise diligently, and taking drugs.
