Information regarding diabetes and day-to-day living with the disease. Diabetes is a disease with abnormally high levels of glucose in the bloodstream. The pancreas produces insulin and insulin is used to lower blood glucose levels. If the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, your body will develop diabetes. Not enough insulin in the body causes diabetes.
Some of the symptoms of diabetes are: increased urge to urinate, extreme hunger and thirst, and fatigue. The only way of discovering if you have diabetes is a blood sugar test. There are major complications with diabetes. Disease of the blood vessels, blindness, kidney damage, and damage to the nerves and heart.
Type 1 diabetes is the more severe diabetes and is usually treated with a special diet, exercise and sometimes with insulin. Type 1 diabetes normally will be treated with special diet, exercise, and a weight loss plan before insulin is added. Type 1 diabetes is considered an insulin dependent disease.
Type 2 diabetes is a less severe form of diabetes, and is first treated with a diabetic diet, exercise and weight loss. All of these will be tried first, if they are unsuccessful, oral medications may be added. If these also fail, insulin is then considered. Type 2 diabetes normally occurs in adults who are middle age or older. The pancreas is still producing the correct amount of insulin but the body has developed a resistance to it.
Yes, it is possible to postpone Type 2 diabetes if it runs in the family by losing weight, getting the right amount of exercise and controlling your diet. If you fail to treat Type 1 diabetes, the same complications might become obvious as those who have Type 1 diabetes. Over two million adolescents are in the prediabetes stage largely because of being overweight. Glucose levels are high but not high enough to be considered diabetes. Teens usually develop this between the ages of 12 and 19.
Gestational diabetes is developed by pregnant women but will normally disappear after the birth of their baby. It will usually need treatment for the mother to stabilize the blood glucose levels. This will decrease the chance of complications to the baby.
Onset juvenile diabetes is a well-known form of diabetes that affects many of our nation's children. It is considered the onset of Type 1 diabetes and is found early in childhood. If your child is experiencing even a few of the symptoms of diabetes, it's important that you have them checked by your doctor. For more information on Onset Juvenile Diabetes, the web site for Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation. This site has valuable information.
Diabetes is the most treatable disease in the world, but it is the fifth leading cause of death in the United States. Doctors believe that diabetes can be controlled or even stopped by controlling your weight, exercising regularly, watching your diet, and medication.
If someone in your family has diabetes, it's important to be tested for the disease. Having a blood glucose test regularly will help control the onset of diabetes.
