Low blood sugar or hypoglycemia (usually a blood sugar level of less than 4 mmol/L) can happen when diabetes medicine (pills or insulin), food, and exercise are out of balance. Low blood sugar can be mild, moderate, or severe. These tips will help you to prevent and treat low blood sugar.
by Dr.jenny Hobson  [ 2008-06-30 ] We all very well know that too many people suffer from diabetes, which can be a killer disease, but many of us do not know the answer to that elementary question, 'What is diabetes?Here we basically try to answer that question.
What is diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus condition is, to put it very plainly, characterized by high levels of blood sugar. So what is actually diabetes caused by? This is mainly caused by the levels of insulin, when it becomes too low. There are mainly three types of diabetes: type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes. Now that here we have answered, very generally, the question 'What is diabetes,' let us go on to the first type of diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes
Insulin, which our body needs to control the levels of sugar in our blood, is created by the beta cells in the pancreas, or, more specifically, in the Islets of Langerhans, which is a part of the pancreas. In Type 1 diabetes, these cells die because of the autoimmune system attacks it. This is the kind of diabetes that you normally see in children, though it is seen in adults, as well.
Careful monitoring of the blood sugar levels and replacement of insulin is essentially the treatment for type 1 diabetes. While the treatment that cannot be stopped - it only controls and regulates, it does not cure - patients with type 1 diabetes can live a normal and long life as long as they take the necessary precautions.
Type 2 diabetes
The next thing that stems from the question 'What is diabetes' is; what Type 2 diabetes is. This combines the resistance to insulin to lack of secretion of insulin, which is harder to handle than Type 1 diabetes.
For this, first, the resistance must to be decreased or eliminated, which can be done through proper diet and exercise, and then the same treatment as for Type 1 diabetes can be administered.
Gestational diabetes
Gestational diabetes is fairly common and is the sort of diabetes that affects women during pregnancy. Quite often, it might simply go away once the baby is born but it generally needs to be regulated carefully during the pregnancy to avoid complications. by David Cowley  [ 2008-05-28 ] Diabetes Mellitus is an inherited disease which occurs when the Islands of Langerhans on the pancreas are unable to produce enough protein and insulin to process the carbohydrates (sugars and starches) we eat.

It is caused by a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone, also known as vasopressin, or by an insensitivity of the kidneys to that hormone. by Juliet Cohen  [ 2008-05-14 ] Diabetes mellitus is the blood sugar level is high is unusual chaotic because the body does not produce the enough insulin. Normally, blood glucose levels are tightly controlled by insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin lowers the blood glucose level. by Ralph Elliot  [ 2008-05-14 ] Diabetes is surely a life-threatening disease, but if managed properly, you can easily live with it and enjoy life at the same time.
