What is diabetes?



  • Diabetes is a disease in which there is a problem with the hormone insulin
  • Insulin is produced by an organ known as pancreas it is situated behind the stomach

There are two types ofdiabetes

  • 1 Type 1 diabetes
  • 2 Type 2 diabetes
Type 1 diabetes
  • It is also called insulin-dependent diabetes
  • It is an autoimmune disorder, in this; your immune system attacks your pancreas and damages the organ because of which the pancreas is not able to make insulin.
Cause
  • Cause of type 1 diabetes is unclear
  • It is thought to be caused by genetic variations or environmental factors
It is a source of various diseases like
  • Diabetic retinopathy - in this diabetes type 1 causes damage to the small blood vessels of the eye
  • Diabetic neuropathy - in these nerves are damaged by diabetes
  • People suffering from this type are prone to stroke and heart diseases
Type 2 diabetes
  • It is called non-insulin dependent diabetes
  • In this type of diabetes fat, liver, and muscle cells become resistant to insulin and to overcome it pancreas is unable to make enough insulin
  • Due to this reason, sugar starts accumulating in the bloodstream
  • If you are overweight then chances of developing type 2 diabetes increases
  • The best way to keep it under control is exercise, eat healthily and maintain your BMI
Early signs and symptoms
  • Tiredness and hunger - you will feel tired because your body will not be able to use sugar, sugar gives you instant energy
  • More urination - average man urinates 4 to 7 times in 24 hrs. But the diabetic person pees more than that, this happens because your kidney is not able to work efficiently
  • Dry mouth and itchy skin -due to frequent urination your body loses moisture and fluid due to which you will suffer from dry mouth and itchy skin
