What’s diabetes?

Diabetes is a health problem caused by high glucose. A train cannot work without oil. Body of human is also a machine. And the oil of this body is a substance called glucose. As oxygen is needed to run a train, human body needs a substance called insulin to utilize the glucose of the body. The job of insulin is to drag the cells out of glucose to the body cells. This insulin is created of Pancreas. When the Pancreas cannot create the insulin properly or the body cannot utilize the insulin then the amount of glucose in the body increases. For this there seems many difficulties in the body. Its called diabetes.

Diabetes patients originating glucose from the food they are having. But these glucose is not being utilized properly, some of it are mixing with the blood. That’s why blood of a diabetes patient is full of glucose. This glucose is being trapped by the thin blood vessels. In this gradually closing the way of blood circulation. And the vessels which does not get blood will not get oxygen also. For this for need of oxygen cell of inside body cannot survive. That’s why some tissues also die. This process ends in losing body parts. By filtering this blood with more glucose, kidney gradually suffer from failure. Not only this, in this same process, other parts of the body will also fail and this will lead to death!!

Diabetes does not only gets to mature person, children also gets diabetes. Now a days children are suffering from diabetes because they are not taking parts in sports or exercise. The symptoms a diabetes affected persons shows, a child with diabetes shows same symptoms. 

Types of Diabetes

There are several types of diabetes. Each has something to do with insulin and blood glucose, but they’re not all the same.

Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the pancreas can no longer produce insulin. It used to be called juvenile diabetes. It is sometimes referred to as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus. There is no cure. If you have it, you must take insulin to survive.

Type 2 Diabetes: In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas can produce insulin, at least initially, but the body either doesn’t respond to it or use it effectively. This is called insulin resistance. Over time, the ability of the pancreas to make insulin decreases, and blood sugars go up. Some, but not all people with type 2 diabetes need to take insulin. Most of the time, the disease can be successfully managed with a proper diet, exercise, and with medications added as needed.

Diabetes Symptoms

The following symptoms of diabetes are typical. However, some people with type 2 diabetes have symptoms so mild that they go unnoticed.

Common symptoms of diabetes:

• Urinating often
• Feeling very thirsty
• Feeling very hungry - even though you are eating

• Blurry vision
• Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
• Weight loss - even though you are eating more (type 1)
• Tingling, pain, or numbness in the hands/feet (type 2)

People with one or more of the following risk factors are at increased risk of type 2 diabetes:

• People who are inactive.
• People who have a family history of type 2 diabetes.
• People who are overweight or obese.
• People with pre-diabetes this is where the glucose (sugar) levels in the body are higher than they should be, but not high enough to be diagnosed with diabetes. Not all people with pre-diabetes will develop diabetes but those that do have pre-diabetes are at high risk of developing the condition.
• People with high blood pressure and/or high fat levels in the blood or a history of cardiovascular disease. Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander people.
• People from the following ethnic backgrounds: Pacific Island, Maori, Asian (including the Indian sub-continent), Middle Eastern, North African or Southern European.

Type 1

Currently type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented. However, researchers are looking into the autoimmune process and environmental factors that lead to developing type 1 diabetes so that we may be able to prevent type 1 diabetes in the future.

Type 2

Many cases of type 2 diabetes can be prevented, or the onset delayed, through positive lifestyle changes. It is estimated that the risk of developing type 2 diabetes can be reduced by up to 58% by maintaining a healthy weight, being physically active and following a healthy eating plan.
