INFORMATION ABOUT DIABETES
What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a condition where our body organ called pancreas does not produce enough insulin hormone, which turn our foods into energy. In this state, most of the foods turns into glucose or sugar and our body glucose level goes higher than usual. In this condition, our body cannot make or use our own insulin, so most of the foods converted in our body as a glucose or sugar. It is an autoimmune reaction in our body which causes this disease.
Normal glucose level of a human body is 72-99 mg/dL fasting and 140 mg/dL non-fasting as per the medical guidelines but when our blood glucose ranges higher than that level continuously its call diabetes or blood sugar or hyperglycemia.
Clinical Name
Short Form of Diabetes
"Sugar".
Diagnosis or tests
Blood test, fasting and non-fasting, HbA1c.
When your blood glucose level goes higher than 72-99 mg/dL as fasting and 140 mg/dL as non-fasting (2 hours after taken foods) continuously then diagnosis will be diabetes.
Classification of Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes - Also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM). In this condition, our body cannot produce insulin or produce a very little amount so patient needs to take artificial insulin hormones. Now, it is a big problem and almost 10-20% people were suffering from this type of diabetes who were diabetic. It can affect at any age of people but mostly developed in children and young adult people. The exact cause are not known, it might be an autoimmune reaction in our body.
Type 2 Diabetes - Also known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or insulin-resistant diabetes. In this condition our body produces excessive insulin but cannot use it by its own. 70 to 90% of people were suffering from this type of diabetes who where diabetic. The exact causes are not known.
Gestational Diabetes - Gestational diabetes occurs in 3-6% of all pregnancies, and although it typically resolves after delivery, as many as 60% of women with this disorder eventually develop type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes can usually be managed by diet alone, but insulin is sometimes required.
Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes
Diabetic Diet
Keto Diet, Low-calorie, low-fat diabetic diet.
Side effects or complications of Diabetes
Obesity, heart disease, hypertension, lack of energy, vision problem, kidney failure, lower limb amputation etc.
Is Diabetes a Curable disease?
No, diabetes is a chronic disease, not a curable disease but you can control your blood sugar through exercise, diet, healthy lifestyle, medications, injection etc.
Remedies of Diabetes
Diet control, regular exercise, blood sugar monitor, oral medications, insulin injection and physical activity can maintain blood glucose level.
Treatment:
Please consult a registered Endocrinologist or your primary care physician first.
