Traditionally, cataracts are a disease of the elderly, but 25-year-old Xiao Wu (pseudonym) from Wuhan suffered blurry eyesight overnight and was diagnosed with severe cataracts after seeking medical treatment.Doctors found that his lens was almost completely cloudy and his pupils were abnormally white. What’s even more shocking is that Xiao Wu’s blood sugar level is as high as 30mmol/L, which is 3-4 times higher than the normal value.
The doctor said,The reason why diabetes can cause cataracts is because some metabolic abnormalities in the body cause abnormalities in the metabolism of the lens in our eyes.
Through an in-depth understanding of Xiao Wu's past medical history and living habits, the doctor found the "driving force" behind the disease. It turned out that Xiao Wu had a special liking for sugary drinks and hot pot.Long-term eating habits high in sugar and oil greatly increase the risk of diabetes. If diabetes is not controlled, it may further develop into cataracts.
The doctor said that in recent years, several cases of patients have been found in their twenties, "and most people prefer to drink sugary drinks."
In this regard, doctors particularly remind young people not to ignore the threat of metabolic diseases such as diabetes just because they are young. In daily life, you must strictly control your diet, reduce the intake of high-oil and high-sugar foods, and maintain moderate exercise. Only by "keeping your mouth shut and moving your legs open" can you effectively prevent diseases such as diabetes and hyperlipidemia and protect your own health.
