What is diabetes?

Diabetes is a long-lasting health condition that affects how your body turns food into energy. Most of the food you eat breaks down into sugar (glucose) transformed into blood sugar. The glucose level in the body maintains by a hormone insulin. When your blood sugar goes up, it signals the pancreas to release insulin.

 

When the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces too much sugar in the blood, which can cause a serious health condition called diabetes.

 

High blood sugar in the body can cause other health conditions like—

• Heart disease

• Vision loss

• Kidney disease

• Blood pressure

There is not a permanent cure yet for disease, but it can maintain as usual by

• Losing weight

• Eating healthy food

• Physical exercise

• Healthy lifestyle

 

Types of Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes

Type 2 diabetes (formerly called non-insulin-dependent, or adult-onset) results from the body’s ineffective use of insulin. More than 95% of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes. This type of diabetes is largely the result of excess body weight and physical inactivity

Symptoms may be similar to those of type 1 diabetes but are often less marked. As a result, the disease may be diagnosed several years after onset, after complications have already arisen.

Until recently, this type of diabetes was seen only in adults but it is now also occurring increasingly frequently in children.

Type 1 diabetes

Type 1 diabetes (also known as insulin-dependent, juvenile or childhood-onset) is characterized by deficient insulin production and requires daily administration of insulin. In 2017 there were 9 million people with type 1 diabetes; the majority of them live in high-income countries. Neither its cause nor the means to prevent it are known

Gestational diabetes

Gestational diabetes is hyperglycemia with blood glucose values above normal but below those diagnostics of diabetes. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy

Women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and at delivery. These women and possibly their children are also at increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the future.
