• If you are suffering from diabetes then this blog is for you, living with diabetes is very taxing and is a burden in itself, to decrease your liability, I am here to tell you guys about diabetes its types and its symptoms.

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
  

Work of insulin

• Insulin helps the body to store sugar from the things which we eat
• Diabetes occurs when the pancreas produces very less or no insulin
• Diabetes also takes place when our body is unable to utilize the insulin

To remain fit and healthy you have two choices

•  Stay fit and eat healthily
•  Depend on medicines

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
• Blurred vision - your eye lens swells up due to which you will be unable to see things clearly this happens because of the disturbance in body fluids

Symptoms of type 1 diabetes

Symptoms of type 2 diabetes

• Weight gain 
• Yeast infection - yeast feeds tremendously on glucose, it will grow on any of the folds of your body such as the armpit, hand, knee, etc.

• Slow healing of wounds - when your body sugar level rises it damages your nerves and affects the blood flow due to which wound healing takes a longer time
• Pain and numbness in feet - nerve damage causes this, nerve damage occurs because of raised sugar level
• Dark signs - dark signs occur at armpits groin or neck
• All the above symptoms happen at the time of hyperglycemia (increased sugar level)
