Signs that indicate diabetes when standing up

A study by Semmelweis University (Hungary) found that people with type 2 diabetes They are six times more likely to develop neuropathy than normal. This condition can damage nerves and affect many other parts of the body, such as the feet, kidneys, or muscles, according to the health website Medical News Today (UK).

Dizziness when standing up suddenly can be a warning sign of type 2 diabetes.

A study published in the journal Frontiers in Endocrinology analyzed health check results from 44 people at high risk of developing diabetes and 28 healthy individuals. The research team also measured heart rate and examined their bodies' responses to pain, burning, and numbness. The results showed that those at high risk of diabetes had a 5.9 times higher rate of peripheral neuropathy compared to healthy individuals.

Experts say that dizziness, especially when sitting for a long time and then standing up, can be an early warning sign of peripheral neuropathy. At the same time, this symptom can also be a warning sign of diabetes.

Specifically, prolonged high blood sugar can damage the nerves in the body. Although the patient may not be aware of it, the damage will worsen over time. At that point, the nerves that control blood pressure may be damaged, causing orthostatic hypotension (low blood pressure when standing up suddenly). People with orthostatic hypotension are more likely to feel dizzy due to the temporary drop in blood pressure when standing up abruptly.

Additionally, damage to peripheral nerves caused by high blood sugar can lead to numbness and tingling in the feet. This can affect balance and cause dizziness.

Another cause of dizziness upon standing is hypoglycemia. In diabetic patients, blood sugar can rise and fall suddenly. When blood sugar drops, patients may experience dizziness, fatigue, tremors, excessive sweating, and other symptoms.

When these symptoms appear, patients need to go to the hospital for diagnosis and treatment guidance. Depending on each person's condition, the doctor will prescribe medication, suggest lifestyle changes, or combine other treatment methods, according to Medical News Today .
