Diabetes
(diabetes mellitus) is a condition in which the body can not regulate
the content of sugar in the blood so glucose or sugar which is usually
transported into the cells of the body as an energy source instead
scattered in the bloodstream, and even go wasted in the urine. Regulation of blood sugar by the body is done with the help of the hormone insulin from the pancreas.
Diabetes consists of two types:
Type 1:
Diabetes because the body does not produce insulin, so patients need daily insulin injections to control blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes occurs in children and adolescents and its development is rapid.
Type 2:
In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, but the body's cells do not respond normally. This type of diabetes is usually associated with obesity and some cases of pregnancy as well as a new outbreak of the age of 40 years.High blood sugar levels will eventually cause damage to blood vessels and nerves that lead to impaired function of the eyes, kidneys and nerves as well as increase the risk of heart attack, stroke and impotence.Symptoms of diabetesIn type 2 diabetes, blood sugar control can be done through changes in lifestyle and diet. According to various studies, the changes are shown to effectively reduce the risk of diabetes. Therefore, it is very important for you to realize when diabetes already exists within you.Someone said to suffer from diabetes when blood sugar levels above 126 mg / dl (fasting) or 200 mg / dl (not fasting). However, the most visible symptom of new diabetes when blood sugar is above 270 mg / dl. Do not rely on symptoms to determine the presence of diabetes. The only accurate way to find out is to test blood and urine.
Symptoms or signs of diabetes are common are:
Dehydration
Constant thirst
Increased frequency of urination
Fatigue
Weight loss
Impaired vision
Healing old wounds
Note: Blood sugar concentration measurement is done by two methods, namely based on the weight (mg / dl) and the number of molecules (mol / ml). Conversion from mg / dl to mol / ml, is to break 18. For example, 200 mg / dl together with 11.1 mol / ml.
As soon as you get to know about the diabetes and detect the diabetes signs, you should start taking the balance diet and regulary visit the physician so as to prevent the further damage.
