Diabetes

 What is diabetes? Hello friends, you are all well. What is diabetes that I am bringing today? Diabetes mellitus is a common health problem. About 3.6 million people in the UK are diagnosed with diabetes, which is about 6 out of every 100 people. If those who have not yet been diagnosed with the disease and do not know that they have diabetes are included, the number will rise to more than 4 million.

Diabetes mellitus is a health problem where the amount of glucose (sugar) in the blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly.

Glucose is produced by digesting sugary foods such as bread, rice, potatoes, chapatti, sweet potatoes and glassware, sugar and other sweet foods and is also found in the liver which produces glucose.

Insulin is essential for life. It is a hormone produced by the pancreas, which helps glucose to enter the cell, where it is used by the body for energy.

The main symptoms of untreated diabetes are increased thirst, frequent going to the toilet (especially at night), excessive fatigue, weight loss, itchy genitals or regular episodes of sores and blurred vision in the legs.

There are two main types of diabetes Type 1 diabetes Type 2 diabetes (9 out of 10 people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes) Type 1 diabetes occurs if the body is unable to produce any insulin. This type of diabetes usually occurs before the age of 40. It is treated with insulin injections and diet and regular exercise is recommended.

Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreatic insulin-producing cells are destroyed. No one knows for sure why this happens, but cell damage is most likely an abnormal response of the immune system that may be triggered by a virus or other infection. Type 1 diabetes is sometimes hereditary, indicating a genetic effect. This type of diabetes usually affects young people.

Type 2 diabetes is called 'maturity onset' diabetes, as it is more common in middle-aged or older people, although it occurs more frequently and in younger adults. Even if type 2 diabetes occurs, the body may still produce some insulin, but the amount is not enough, or the insulin produced then does not work properly (known as insulin resistance). This type of diabetes usually occurs in people over the age of 40, although it can occur before the age of 40. People who are overweight, especially those with type 2 diabetes, are more likely to develop it. It is hereditary and is more common in South Asian and African-Caribbean communities, where it is most common in people over the age of 25.

Type 2 diabetes is treated only through diet and exercise or through diet, exercise and tablets or diet, exercise and insulin injections. The main goal of treating both types of diabetes is to get blood glucose and blood pressure levels as close to normal as possible.

Together with a healthy lifestyle, it helps improve well-being and protects against long-term damage to the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart and major arteries.

Some people mistakenly describe type 2 diabetes as 'mild' diabetes. There is no such thing as mild diabetes. All diabetes should be taken seriously, monitored regularly and treated appropriately.

Diabetes UK 'Know your risks?' Has released a free calculator that calculates your risk of developing type 2 diabetes.

Other causes of diabetes There are many other rare causes of diabetes.

These include:

Any problem with the pancreas, such as chronic pancreatitis Diabetes caused by drugs like steroids Diabetes as part of any other health problem like cystic fibrosis or an endocrine health problem like Cushing's syndrome. Monogenic diabetes, which is associated with a defect in a specific gene, and is usually strongly associated with a family history. Diabetes genes is a great site with lots of information. Neonatal diabetes is a specific type of diabetes that occurs before the age of 6 months. Latent onset autoimmune diabetes of adulthood (LADA), which is an autoimmune health problem similar to type 1 diabetes, but occurs at an older age and requires relatively fast (but not immediate) insulin, usually within a year of diagnosis, or sometimes more quickly. . Gestational diabetes is a diabetes that occurs in some women during pregnancy, and heals after childbirth. People with gestational diabetes are more likely to have type 2 diabetes later in life.
