The Benefits of Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy for People with Diabetes
The International Diabetes Federation (IDF) Atlas 2017 reported that the Diabetes epidemic in Indonesia is still showing an increasing trend.
Based on data report of Ministry of Health, Indonesia is the sixth ranked country in the world after China, India, the United States, Brazil and Mexico with the number of people with diabetes aged 20-79 years around 10.3 million people.
Speaking of Diabetes, it is closely related to daily lifestyle habits. In addition to genetic factors, an irregular lifestyle, the habit of consuming unhealthy foods, and a lack of physical activity are determining factors for the onset of Diabetes Mellitus, also known as diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease that is quite dangerous. That is why people with diabetes must be vigilant, because if not controlled properly, it can trigger other dangerous complications such as eye damage, stroke, nerve damage and even kidney and heart damage.
One of the most commonly reported complaints by people with Diabetes is wounds that are difficult to heal, especially on the feet. That's why, for individuals with Diabetes, even the smallest wound should be treated properly as it can turn into an ulcer on the foot if not addressed. In some cases, the foot of a person with diabetes may even need to be amputated.
HIPERBARIK THERAPY FOR PATIENTS WITH DIABETES
One type of medical service available for diabetes patients is Hyperbaric Therapy.
According to dr. Andrea Wijaya, a Hyperbaric Doctor at Kasih Ibu Hospital, HBOT (Hyperbaric Oxygen Therapy) or known as Hyperbaric Therapy is an adjuvant therapy or complementary therapy to increase healing rates and tissue repair in advanced diabetic wounds through various processes:
- Inhibiting the growth and killing bacteria in infected diabetic wounds.
- Reducing and shortening the inflammation process of diabetes wounds.
- Providing oxygen supply to the wound tissue to accelerate the growth of blood vessels and new tissue.
