All you want to know about diabetes
Friday, November 13, 2009 19:20Diabetes has become a terror and most familiar disease in the United States. It’s surprising that 5.4 million people already affected by diabetes are unaware about their illness. And over 16 million Americans by now are affected with diabetes. In last 50 years, Diabetes mellitus has become the primary cause for death among US population. There has been a rising strike of diabetic patient in U. S population. This guideline about diabetes provides us with ways and means to cure diabetes entirely.
Diabetes mellitus is mainly caused because of non-function of a hormone that converts glucose and other food items to produce energy. Diabetes is caused as the sugar level in the body rises high and the hormone regulating sugar is not functioning properly, due to which there is rise in glucose level. Sugar in the body has to be maintained at certain level. Insulin and glucagon serves the purpose of maintaining a thin line of sugar level. The purpose of glucagon is to produce energy through release of glucose from cells into blood.
Three types of diabetes found commonly:
- Diabetes Type I
- Diabetes Type II
- Gestational diabetes
Type I and type II diabetes is dangerous as it hampers your stress free life. In type I and type II diabetes, the hormone making glucose has stopped producing energy so body has to use fat and protein for the production of energy needed. Mainly because of this reason weight loss and symptoms like polyuria, polydipsia and polyphegia are found in a diabetic patient. The ideal blood sugar in human body has to between 70mg/dl-110mg/dl when fasting. There are two forms of diabetes, it is hypoglycemia if blood sugar is less than 70mg/dl and said to be hyperglycemia if blood sugar is more than 110 mg/dl.
Diabetes has many other repercussions leading to death. It is a main cause for blindness among adults, ESRD (renal diseases), and death of body tissues mainly caused by circulation and surgical cuts. Hereditary, sedentary life style, obesity and stress in life could be one of the causes for diabetes. When there is a striking increase in sugar level it could damage kidney and can lead to damage nerve system and a diabetic person has to face many other cardiovascular problems. Diabetic patient has more chance to get attack by coronary heart diseases and stroke attacks. Gestational diabetes is too risky for expecting mothers and their embryo.

You along with your doctor’s advice can take steps to maintain sugar level and lessen your chances of risks and complication involved with Type II diabetes. There should be regular change in medication plan to maintain type II diabetes monthly or yearly. Healthy diet along with exercise maintains the blood sugar but medication is important in long run. Amendments in medicines should be done on regular interval to keep sugar level maintained. Over a period of time if medicines fail to be fruitful, insulin has to be taken for precautions.
