Can diabetes cause recurring fevers?
Anyway, I don't get fevers very often, but I've heard that cancer patients often have low-grade fevers.
There is now growing evidence that the inflammatory response plays an important role in the development of diabetes, and some experts believe that diabetes is an inflammatory disease.
Inflammatory factors such as C-reactive protein, fibrinogen, and fibrinogen activation inhibitor have been found to be significantly elevated in patients with type 2 diabetes. Epidemiologic data also showed that C-reactive protein is an important serum marker for predicting type 2 diabetes-related cardiovascular disease.
Many patients who go to the hospital for inflammation or fever know that when you arrive at the hospital, your doctor will ask you to check for C-reactive protein, which is there to look at the inflammatory response in your body.
So since C-reactive protein is a marker of inflammation, and C-reactive protein is elevated in diabetes, is fever in diabetics caused by high blood sugar? Can diabetes cause recurrent fevers?
Diabetes is a chronic non-infectious disease, it is also not an infectious disease and fever does not occur in diabetes alone. The C-reactive protein mentioned earlier is also not a sign of bacterial or viral infection, it signals the onset of diabetic complications such as vascular complications, so it makes sense for diabetics to have this result checked.
However, many diabetics have fever as the first manifestation of their illness. This is because diabetic patients with high blood sugar, skin, mucous membranes as a good culture medium for bacteria, very easy to develop infections, such as respiratory tract infections, urinary tract infections, skin infections, etc., these infections will appear fever. If there is recurrent fever, or anti-inflammatory treatment is not effective, we should think of conducting blood glucose examination to rule out the possibility of diabetes. If the blood sugar is high, along with measures to lower the sugar, the infection will get better quickly.
Diabetes combined with other diseases, such as rheumatologic-immunologic diseases, can also present with fever. Immune system related tests are performed to rule it out.
Diabetics can of course be comorbid with a number of other febrile illnesses, but high blood glucose does not by itself cause fever, so it is important to look for the cause of fever and deal with it in a timely manner in those diabetics who develop it.
To summarize: diabetes is a chronic non-infectious disease, not an infectious disease, and does not cause fever per se. If the inflammatory marker C-reactive protein is elevated, vascular complications may be present. When there are recurrent fevers, it is important to perform relevant tests to exclude the possibility of co-infections or other diseases.

On the symptoms of diabetes complications, many people do not have a general understanding, especially the onset of early onset of what will be the body's reaction do not understand, and even to the end of the disease to be hospitalized only to understand that this is actually a complication of diabetes. For example, 61-year-old Zhao Da Niang, because the body has been feverish, but thought it was caused by the flu did not care, who knew that the last coma, the family was shocked, sent to the hospital to realize that the original ketosis caused trouble.
Ketoacidosis is one of the most common acute complications of diabetes, and the typical symptom that the patient is likely to experience is fever, which can be serious and may cause other complications that can lead to death of the celebrity, and is a problem that must be taken seriously. However, it is also important to know that there are other complications problems can also cause the body fever, such as diabetic foot ulcer infection, diabetic intestinal infections and so on, as long as there is inflammation in the body, the inflammatory response will be fever.
What I want to say is that patients and their families must know that when they have a fever, they should not only consider it from the aspect of a cold, but also in conjunction with the patient's recent physical condition and mental state, to see if there are other problems that have not been detected, such as checking whether there are ulcers on the feet and whether there are any abnormalities in urine, so that they do not delay the treatment of other diseases due to such a mistake.

Diabetes is not supposed to have temperature changes. If recurrent fever occurs, it is additionally due to some other cause, which should be identified.
For example, the occurrence of infectious diseases such as tuberculosis and other infectious diseases in combination can lead to recurrent fevers and symptoms...
It won't.
Diabetes belongs to the chronic disease, but also comprehensive disease, is a lot of symptoms gathered together metabolic disease, because of the disease, muscle function will have some damage, so the resistance has been reduced, so life will have to pay more attention, Jin may take care of the body.
As a diabetic, whether the illness will continue to fever, depends on the external environment, if the cold or bacterial infection, the resistance of the antibody is weak, it will happen to the phenomenon of persistent fever, but this fever and diabetes is not directly related to the diabetes, is not is the epiphenomenon of the factor, for reference!
