Diabetes is a disease related to diet and lifestyle. If the disease is detected in time, it can be controlled. The number of diabetes patients is increasing day by day across the world. Especially if we talk about Indian people, due to the sudden change in their lives, the number of high BP and diabetes patients is continuously increasing.
If a person develops a disease like diabetes, then his risk of developing other diseases also increases in the future, such as heart, skin and other diseases. Diabetic patients always remain tired, weak and lethargic. Brake functions are also affected by this disease. Due to diabetes, the risk of fungal infection also increases significantly. Once a diabetic patient gets a wound or wound, it takes a lot of time to heal.
Weak immunity
According to the NCBI report, the immunity of a diabetic patient becomes weak due to which the risk of fungal infection increases. If the power to fight against fungus and bacteria decreases, the body automatically becomes weak. Hyperglycemia greatly affects the function of immune cells like neutrophils and macrophages.
Reasons for wound not healing
Chronic hyperglycemia hinders the body’s natural wound healing process. In such a situation, the patient’s risk of fungal infection increases significantly. Diabetes patients often complain of foot ulcers. It is caused by neuropathy and peripheral vascular disease.
White Blood Cells
When the immunity is weak, it takes a lot of time for the wounds of a diabetic patient to heal. In this, white blood cells gradually start dying, this is called chemotaxis. This is called the process of phagocytosis. In phagocytosis, it attacks white blood cells and destroys them.
