Energy imbalances in diabetic patients increasing chances of acquiring Hospital Infection

Abstract

Huang Wei Ling

Introduction: In 2016, an estimated 1.6 million deaths were directly caused by diabetes. Another 2.2 million deaths were attributable to high blood glucose
in 2012. Scholars from the University of London, stated that 12% of infection-related deaths were attributable to diabetes. In Traditional Chinese Medicine the
physiopathology of Diabetes is linked to Yin deficiency with Heat retention. Purpose: To demonstrate how diabetic patients have systemic energy imbalances, that
may increase their chances of acquiring hospital infection.
Methods: Literature review and analysis of different studies linking diabetes with hospital infection both in ancient medical traditions and Western Medicine. Also,
review of what have been observed and presented by the author in 27 years of practice, and several published studies.
Results: The energy imbalances leading to diabetes are part of the consequences of Heat formation. Heat formation is the same energy imbalance that can lead
to the formation of the hospital infection, in an energy point of view.
Conclusion: The conclusion of this study is that diabetic patients mostly when in taking high-concentrated medications have an increase tendency to develop
hospital infection when admitted in the hospital, because the energy imbalances, leading to the diabetes are the same energy imbalances that ease the process
of acquiring nosocomial infections.
