What's wrong with urinating and drinking more?

Classification: medical and health care

Problem description:

Drinking 4~5 liters of water every day is still thirsty. Sleep every night 12: 30 ~ 1: 00. Get up at 6: 30 ~ 7: 00 in the morning. Midafternoon nap 1 hour. Diabetes occurs from time to time

Analysis:

Typical diabetics have symptoms of drinking too much and urinating too much, but some people drink too much or urinate too much, and their blood sugar is normal, which is not diabetes. Such as urine

Collapse is caused by pathological changes in hypothalamus or posterior pituitary gland, which can cause polydipsia, polyuria and even severe dehydration, but blood sugar is normal.

Urine sugar is negative. Another example is mental polydipsia or mental polyuria, which is also manifested as polydipsia, polydipsia and polyuria, but blood sugar is normal and urine sugar is negative.

Such patients often have a history of mental disorder or mental disorder, often accompanied by a series of symptoms such as neurasthenia. In addition, under physiological conditions,

When the weather is cold, the amount of urine will increase, and when the climate is hot and sweaty, the amount of water will increase. Therefore, the diagnosis of diabetes can not only be based on clinical symptoms, but more importantly, it is necessary to detect blood sugar to make a clear diagnosis.

Is "polyuria" caused by "excessive drinking"

Drinking more and urinating more is one of the symptoms of diabetes. Many diabetics think that the more they drink and pee, the more sugar they will pee, and they are often afraid to drink more water.

In fact, this idea is completely wrong. The symptoms of polyuria in diabetic patients are caused by hyperglycemia, not by drinking too much water. When the body is in a state of hyperglycemia, it is necessary to increase urine volume and excrete too much sugar from urine. Increased urine volume will also cause the body to lose a lot of water, which will cause thirst. In other words, drinking more water is because of high blood sugar, which is the mechanism of self-protection of the body.

If diabetic patients drink less water, it will cause blood concentration, so that too much sugar and ammonia-containing metabolic waste in the blood can not be eliminated in time, leading to an increase in plasma osmotic pressure, which is called "hyperosmotic" in medicine. In severe cases, diabetic nonketotic hyperosmotic coma will occur, and the consequences are very serious, with a mortality rate of more than 50%. This is like preserved fruit. Preserved fruit is preserved with sugar. After sugar absorbs the water in the fruit, the fruit becomes preserved. If your internal organs are "pickled" in high blood sugar, the water in the internal organs will become "preserved fruit" after being sucked away by blood sugar. Can this not endanger life?

Water is an essential nutrient for human body.

Because water is easy to get, people often ignore its importance. Many people regard water as a dispensable thing. In fact, water, like protein and vitamins, is a nutrient on which the human body depends to maintain its most basic life activities.

The content of water in human body accounts for about 60% of body weight, especially in children. Water is the medium of various substances, which can promote substance metabolism and actively participate in cell formation. Water is the environment that cells depend on, and cells get the nutrients they need from this environment. If water is insufficient, it will make the body unbalanced, lead to metabolic disorder and damage health.

People with diabetes should drink more water.

Chinese medicine advocates "to drink plenty of water, perspire and excrete, so as to live longer". Drinking more water has the following benefits for diabetics:

1. Drinking water is beneficial to the excretion of metabolic poisons in the body and can prevent urinary tract infection.

2. Increase blood volume, improve blood circulation and microcirculation, reduce blood viscosity and reduce the formation of diabetic complications.

3. Reduce plasma osmotic pressure and prevent diabetic hyperosmotic nonketoacidosis.

Modern medical research shows that the human body needs1500 ~ 2500ml of water every day, and diabetics need water even more, and they should drink at least 2000ml of water every day. Summer is more than winter. The more you sweat, the more you should drink.

Usually it should be mainly boiled water, and light tea can be drunk in moderation. Sugary drinks such as cola and sprite are not suitable for drinking. Drink water before, during and after exercise once 150 ml. It should be noted that if you sweat too much during exercise, you can't get timely water supplement, or drink a lot of sugary drinks, it will easily lead to non-ketotic hyperosmotic coma.

Many people only think of drinking water when they are thirsty. In fact, when people feel thirsty, the water environment in the body is unbalanced, and human cells are in a state of mild dehydration. Therefore, always drink water, drink less many times, and avoid drinking too much water at one time, so as not to destroy the balance of water and salt in the body.

People with diabetes need to drink more water, at least 2000 ml of water every day. Summer is more than winter. Don't wait until you are thirsty, but drink less. It is advisable to give priority to boiled water, and you can drink light tea in moderation. Drink water before, during and after exercise once 150 ml.
