Painless Diabetes: Why Do So Many People Ignore It Until Complications Occur? | SAN Patient Care Application – University Medical Center Ho Chi Minh City

Unlike many other diseases, diabetes does not cause immediate pain.

Patients may:

• normal life
• I don't feel anything unusual.
• No danger detected.

This is what makes many people complacent, until complications arise.

Why is diabetes so often underestimated?

Diabetes progresses silently:

• painless
• no fever
• not clearly evident

But inside, the body is:

• blood vessel damage
• neurological effects
• causing damage to internal organs

Common mistakes

1. Not tracking metrics

Many people only take measurements when they "feel the need."

👉 But diabetes cannot be controlled by feeling.

👉 vì sao cần theo dõi tại nhà mỗi ngày

2. Forgetting your medication.

What are the possible consequences of forgetting to take your medication?

3. No follow-up visit.

What can happen if you delay your follow-up appointment?

👉 kiểm soát tiểu đường sau điều trị

👉 chăm tại nhà after discharge from hospital

Tiểu đường cần được theo dõi mỗi ngày, không phải khi có triệu chứng.

SAN support continuous monitoring.

👉 hire a caregiver Is that really enough?

The absence of pain doesn't mean it's not dangerous.
