Prevent complications in diabetes

Consequences and comorbidities in diabetes

As a result of diabetes, damage to various organs can occur. Particularly at risk are eyes, kidneys, heart, blood vessels and nervous system. However, diabetic sequelae occur less frequently if blood pressure and diabetes values ​​(blood sugar and HbA1c) are as good as possible.

What can patients do?

Most important are the best possible blood sugar and blood pressure. In addition, the blood lipid levels should be checked regularly and treated if necessary. If the patients smoke, they should give it up. Because smoking promotes vascular changes. Those affected are recommended to exercise a lot, because a lack of exercise is considered a risk factor for the blood circulation. Also for a good diabetes attitude, you can do a lot. Have the HbA1c measured every three months. It shows how well the value has been in the last two to three months. The patient should measure blood sugar one to two times a day and enter it in a diary. The diary is important for treatment with insulin or tablets. For example, they see it quickly if the blood sugar regularly rises at certain times of the day. The health pass on diabetes is also very helpful to have all the important values ​​at hand. The therapist can record the results of the check-ups in it.

Why diabetics need more
According to a report by the International Diabetes Federation in Washington, the number of people affected by the chronic metabolic disease diabetes has increased eightfold in the past 20 years worldwide. Studies have shown that many diabetics have a low magnesium level compared to healthy people. According to the experts, there are two reasons for this:

1. Diabetes patients ingest less than enough magnesium.

2. Magnesium is mainly present in cereal products, legumes and nuts. Foods that diabetics usually avoid.

Due to an altered kidney function, diabetes patients increasingly excrete the vital mineral. In addition, it is known today that a magnesium deficiency can contribute to the development of insulin resistance. A magnesium deficiency can thus negatively influence the risk of diabetes. Therefore, it is particularly important for diabetics to pay attention to a balanced magnesium balance.

The magnesium intake
Remedy creates an extra large portion of magnesium. It is important that one pays particular attention to the body's own building block: pure magnesium citrate. Magnesium citrate has the advantage of being body friendly and fast acting. (Heinz Kropmanns, alternative practitioner and president of the Association of German Holistic Practitioners e.V.)
