DIABETES AND IT TREATMENT



                              DIABETES 


Diabetes

 Diabetes is a metabolic disease or a condition in which the glucose levels in the blood will be high over a prolonged period of time. In other words, it can be defined as a condition that occurs when the body cannot efficiently make use of glucose that serves as a source of energy for body cells. Blood sugar levels are controlled by a hormone called insulin.

Causes of Diabetes

Diabetes is either caused due to the insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas or it may occur if the cells of the body are not effectively responding to the insulin produced.

Types of Diabetes

Diabetes is categorized into the following types based on the reason for their cause:
  1. Diabetes Mellitus
    1. Type 1 Diabetes
    2. Type 2 Diabetes
  2. Diabetes Insipidus
  3. Gestational Diabetes

Diabetes Mellitus

It is the inability of the body to effectively use or respond to the insulin produced by the body, and as a result, blood sugar levels cannot be regulated effectively. Diabetes mellitus is further classified into two types, namely:

  • Type 1 Diabetes

It is also known as Diabetes Mellitus Type 1. It occurs when the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin. The consequent lack of insulin causes an increase in glucose level in urine and blood.

  • Type 2 Diabetes

It is also called Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. The prime reason for the occurrence of type 2 diabetes is due to obesity and lack of exercise in people who are genetically biased.

Symptoms of Diabetes

Signs and Symptoms vary from person to person or even there may be no signs sometimes. First, let us come up with common symptoms of diabetes.
  • Frequent Urination.
  • Feeling more stressed or tired than usual.
  • Being more Thirstier.
  • Blurred Vision.
  • Loss of Weight
