written by Dr.jenny Hobson 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. written by peter hutch Refers to diabetes mellitus or, less often, to diabetes insipidus. Diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus share the name "diabetes" because they are both conditions characterized by excessive urination (polyuria). written by peter hutch A disease in which the body doesn't produce or properly use insulin. written by peter hutch Diabetes is a chronic disease. It does not go away, even with treatment. It is also progressive, meaning that if left untreated, it can lead to difficult complications. The good news is that diabetes can be controlled. However, it must be carefully monitored to keep it in control. written by peter hutch Diabetes is a serious disease, affecting millions of Americans and growing at epidemic rates, with one million new cases each year. But, there is good news: Diabetes can be prevented. By losing a modest amount of weight by getting 30 minutes of physical activity 5 days a week and eating healthier, people with pre-diabetes can delay or prevent the onset of the disease. The "Small Steps. Big Rewards. Prevent type 2 Diabetes." campaign, the first-ever national diabetes prevention campaign, spreads this important message of hope to the millions of Americans with pre-diabetes. written by Rachel Broune Diabetes means that your blood glucose (GLOO-kos), also called blood sugar, is too high. Glucose comes from the food you eat and is needed to fuel our bodies. Glucose is also stored in our liver and muscles. written by Dr John Anne The basic action of this extract is the levelling of your glucose indicators due to its effect of removing the toxins from your organism and through the elimination of excess glucose. written by Dr Anne
Insulin was the first, and remains the primary means of treatment for Type 1 diabetes and is administered by subcutaneous injection. This method is necessary since insulin is destroyed by gastric stomach secretions when it is taken by mouth. Insulin injections must be balanced with meals and daily activities, and glucose written by Dr John Anne Did you know that there are many natural foods and herbal supplements that you can take that will help decrease your blood sugar level naturally? Diabetic mellitus patients are frequently made aware of the innumerable pharmaceutical products that are accessible, but what if you want to naturally decrease your blood sugar level? written by Juliet Cohen Diabetes is a life-long disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. Glucose is the main source of fuel for the body. written by Juliet Cohen Diabetes is not a newly born disease, it has been with human race from long back, but we came to knew about it in 1552 B.C. During First Century A.D diabetes described by Arateus as 'the melting down of flesh and limbs into urine. Diabetes was given its name by the Greek Physician Aretaeus (30-90CE). written by Juliet Cohen Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is primarily characterized by insulin resistance, relative insulin deficiency, and hyperglycemia. In type 2 diabetes, either the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. written by Juliet Cohen Type 1 diabetes is also called insulin-dependent diabetes. It is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little or no insulin, a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) into energy. Diabetes is a lifelong disease for which there is not yet a cure. written by Dr John Anne Types of Treatments
The most important part of a Type 1 Diabetes Treatment plan is managing blood glucose levels. When if you diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes, you should work closely with your physician in order to find a plan of treatment that is right for you treatments may vary according to religious beliefs or other health problems involved. There are different types of medical treatment as well as natural treatments and management plans. written by Dr John Anne Sugar is part of a whole slew of meals. The carbohydrates that we eat are later on converted into sugar or glucose while it undergoes the processes inside our body. These sugars are what we use for energy. written by Robert Baird Baird The chemicals in cigarette smoke cause damage to the coronary artery endothelium, which has already been damaged by diabetes. These chemicals also increase total cholesterol and triglyceride levels and reduce high-density lipoprotein levels. written by Robert Baird Baird Mononeuropathy is an isolated neuropathy of one or several nerves. Carpal tunnel syndrome, which results
from compression or entrapment of the median nerve in the wrist, is the most common form of
mononeuropathy. written by Robert Baird Baird Peripheral neuropathy, the most common form of neuropathy, usually affects the legs and feet. The sensory nerves are affected by atrophy and loss of the longer peripheral nerve axons. Symptoms begin in the toes and move up. Typically, the disease affects both legs. written by Robert Baird Baird Out of habit, however, many patients and health care practitioners continue to use the more conventional
regimens. Patients who have followed conventional nutritional therapy for years may be afraid to learn a new
method or may simply be tired of learning new techniques related to diabetes. Those patients need your
teaching and encouragement as they strive to adopt a healthier, more flexible way to use their diets to keep their
disease under control. written by Juliet Cohen Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life. written by Juliet Cohen Diabetes is a hormone disorder that can cause problems with the kidneys, legs and feet, eyes, heart, nerves, and blood flow. written by Juliet Cohen Diabetes is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin. Diabetes means a disease where people have too much sugar in their blood. written by tom alter In Type 2 diabetes the body does not create enough or sufficient insulin. Insulin is the hormone which is important for the body to be able to use sugar. In Type 2 Diabetes the body doesn't react to the insulin normally. written by tom alter Diabetes is a disorder of metabolism the way our bodies use digested food for development and energy. It is widely accepted as one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. It is connected with long-term complications that affect written by tom alter We can call Type 1 diabetes an autoimmune disease in which the body destroys or damages insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. Once those cells are destroyed, they won't ever create insulin again. This type of diabetes usually occurs under the age of 30 and often in childhood. written by Jon Arnold Diabetes is a growing concern for millions of people, and sometimes people do not exhibit obvious symptoms when they have it. Know what the symptoms are and know what treatments are recommended. written by Andrian Nale Glowing skin comes free of charge to you. Our simple water does it effectively. The effect of water is immediate, say overnight. written by Farkhan Shah High blood pressure is a common illness among adults. There are many causes of high blood pressure, but overall, long-term high blood pressure can lead to heart attack, stroke, heart failure, and diabetes. Because this is a serious illness, doctors and other health care professionals (or simply people worried about the health of themselves and their families) are taking great steps to prevent high blood pressure. However, it is important to remember that the first step to lowering your high blood pressure is to understand it in the first place. written by Farkhan Shah In the last ten years IBS has become the most widespread digestive ailment in the U.S. In spite of the fact that it affects millions of people, IBS has been trashcan labeled a syndrome and has received almost zero recognition, considering the harm it does cause. << previous page 1 2 next page>> |
