Foot Open
Above the roar of the wave of releases of wild currents around the reef. A small damselfish swimming through coral reefs lunges and nicks itself in the sharp coral. Three shiny scales scraping and drift motionless, until the current begins to turn on them. A small drop of blood is filtered slowly into the ocean. Surprised, the girl escapes some distance to the open ocean.
A mile away, a sense of reef sharks languishing BLUETIP an odor. The small drop of blood, spread thin in the ocean, it awakens the hungry sharks. He can smell blood and weaves its way though the sea, the continuous monitoring of round trip, with a trace of smell stronger and stronger. The small fish, still barely bleeding, but leaving a trail to follow, is the end of the path for the shark. Sharp teeth, open, she did not have a chance.
The history of sharks in the maiden offers a perfect analogy of how your body fights when bacteria develop a diabetic foot infection. The bacteria is very similar to the little lady. As it moves through tissue in the foot, leave chemical markers indicating their presence.
The sharks are very similar to white blood cells (called macrophages), which traced the bacteria through a process known as chemotaxis. Once you locate macrophages to bacteria, in fact bacteria surround you with the cell wall, effectively eating. The form in bacteria that eat this way is known as phagocytosis. Unfortunately, diabetes and high levels of sugar in the blood that are associated with diabetes can have a profound effect on both chemotaxis and phagocytosis.
When blood glucose is elevated in serum, macrophages are not able to follow the trail leading to the bacteria. In a way, the white cells are then much like a blind shark hungry, you can not see or smell, floating in the vast open ocean with only the hope bumped into a lady.
To complicate matters further, the process of phagocytosis is also deactivated when the blood sugar is high. So even if the blind, mindless shark encounter a damsel, is almost as if his mouth is connected closed. Even when a shark can find a damsel, who still can not eat.
This is why a diabetic foot infection is an emergency that quickly becomes a limb or death. In less than 24 hours, a mild infection can kill a diabetic. In almost all the amputation is performed in diabetics, it is likely that earlier intervention might have prevented the loss limb extension.
For this reason, it is critical for a diabetic to check your feet every day. Otherwise, Minor blister, or sore ingrown toenail may start with a small infection and much worse quickly. As the bacteria divide, sharks can not do nothing to stop them.
In a normal healthy adult, an ingrown toenail is infected can remain for days before the infection worsens. In a diabetic, this is simply not true. A diabetic with high blood sugar have compromised immune systems. The immune system is disabled unable to control the growth of bacteria and severe complications.
Every 30 seconds a limb is somewhere amputation because of diabetes. Diabetes is also more half of all amputations are performed. This problem is getting worse and not better. The rate of diagnosis of diabetes is rising continuously. It also provides that the prevalence of diabetes continue to rise as baby boomers age.
Given the current circumstances of Medicare and other insurers do not provide coverage insurance for preventive care, as aggressive monitoring and education of diabetic foot problems, the number of amputations also continue to increase. Unfortunately all this is avoidable, but it is often avoided.
It has been well documented that checks daily walk, seeking early treatment diabetic foot problems, and maintaing blood sugar can help prevent diabetes problems, culminating in amputation. However the current trend is that insurance companies only pay for care associated with complications such as diabetic foot infections, hospitalizations and amputations with diabetes.
Because of the way in which these events take place, this leaves many patients without left leg to stand on.
You must have a diabetic foot checked every year. If you also have diabetic neuropathy or nerve damage, it is important to be seen more often. You should check your feet every day. They should also white socks with diabetes to detect any drainage in the event that you get a pain in your feet, you can not see. All these interventions children who have shown to significantly reduce rates of foot complications of diabetes.
