What to do and how to get rid of itching with diabetes?

To get rid of itching, you need to cure diabetes. This is a major disease, and itching is one of its symptoms. Therefore, itching is not advisable. It would be more rational to eliminate the cause of the disease. The method of treatment is chosen depending on the clinical form of the disease, the severity of diabetic angiopathies and concomitant pathology. In addition, as symptomatic therapy, various ointments and sprays are used to reduce itching.

Medications

Antidiabetic oral preparations are widely used in the treatment of diabetes mellitus and the elimination of itching in diabetes mellitus. Precautions should be taken: follow the doctor's recommendations, adhere to the diet. It must also be taken into account that the drugs may have side effects: they have a toxic effect on the liver. Therefore, they should be taken in conjunction with hepatoprotectors. After a long reception (2-3 months), these drugs must be replaced with analogs or insulin, as addiction develops. It should be borne in mind that they act gently and smoothly, rarely causing a hypoglycemic condition

Currently, two main groups of hypoglycemic drugs are used : sulfonamides and biguanides. Sugar-reducing sulfonamide preparations are more effective, but more toxic. They have toxic effects on liver and bone marrow cells, suppress appetite, can cause vomiting, anorexia.

Well-proven drug such as butamid (daily dose is 2 grams). Bukarban appoint to 1.5 grams per day. For cyclamid, the daily dosage is 1 gram. Chlorpropamide is prescribed at 0.5 grams per day. All drugs have a single treatment regimen. In the first days of treatment, the maximum daily dose of the drug is prescribed, then it is reduced to the optimal maintenance dose. Ineffectiveness of sulfanilamide therapy for 7 days, indicates the need for the appointment of insulin.

Ointments for itching with diabetes

As a remedy for symptomatic treatment against itching, non-hormonal ointments have proven themselves well. They quickly eliminate unpleasant symptoms, act gently, without having a systemic effect on the body. Despite the fact that they do not contain hormones, they can not be called absolutely safe. They can have serious side effects, especially if they are taken uncontrollably, disrupt the treatment regimen. There are also many cases in which these ointments are contraindicated.

Applying non-hormonal ointment, you can eliminate the symptoms (reduce their manifestation), but not cure completely. This is due to the fact that the cause of the itch is a disease - diabetes. Therefore, the main therapy should be aimed at getting rid of the cause. Then the symptoms will pass independently. Application can only contain the manifestation of symptoms.

A great advantage is that they do not penetrate the skin barrier into the blood, therefore, do not exert any systemic influence on the body.

The disadvantages are that they contain a large number of different toxic substances. All of them are potent. Therefore, some people do not tolerate them well. If you misuse these tools, you can only increase the itching.

Ointments are used externally, applying a thin layer on the surface of the skin, rubbing with massaging movements. Practically traditionally used salicylic and zinc ointments.

Sprays from itching with diabetes

From itching, you can use not only creams, but also sprays. They have a similar mechanism of action. The only difference is that they have the form of an aerosol in which the active substances are suspended in the form of a dispersion solution. Help to eliminate the itching, and other symptoms of diabetes. The advantage is that when spraying the particles are evenly distributed throughout the affected area, promoting a reliable film that has a lasting effect on the body.

Vitamins

When diabetes is indicated, the use of increased amounts of vitamin. Retinol acetate is prescribed one tablet (0.001 g) three times a day for a month. Also prescribe 1 ml of a 1% solution of riboflavin. A course of 15 injections of pyridoxine hydrochloride is recommended - 1 ml of a 5% solution.

The nicotinic acid is added to 0.05 grams three times a day for 2 months.

Physiotherapeutic treatment

To eliminate the itch, physiotherapy is rarely used. The main method is electrophoresis, which allows you to remove anxious symptoms in a relatively short time. In this case, drugs penetrate directly into the focus of inflammation under the influence of microcurrent. At the same time, their effect is increased, the need for dosage is reduced. Accordingly, the risk of side effects and overdose is reduced.
