DIABETES
Type 1 Diabetes.
Pancreas secretes different kinds of hormones inside the body. One of these is Insulin. Insulin permits blood sugar (glucose) enters the body's cell for its usage. Any abnormality in the pancreas will affect cell activity and its energy-producing function. Without insulin, the cells will not use glucose and sugar build up will accumulate in the blood. Increased level of sugar in the blood may cause Diabetic Ketoacidosis, which is seriously dangerous in the bodies over all system function. Over time, it can cause damage to the eyes, heart, blood vessels, nerves and kidneys.
Type 1 Diabetes is also called as "Juvenile Diabetes", because mostly it occurs at any age but usually starts in children.
Type 1 Diabetes is different from Type 2 Diabetes. In Type 1 Diabetes the Pancreas stops producing Insulin while in Type 2 Diabetes, the Pancreas' ability to produce Insulin is insufficient. So from that, individuals with Type 1 Diabetes need to have regular Insulin intake than those clients with Type 2 Diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes can also be managed by oral Insulin intake, but most people can manage it through diet and regular exercise.
Symptoms of Diabetes are the following:
1. frequently thirsty
2. frequent urination
3. losing weight
4. Being hungry for most of the time than usual
As said above, Diabetic ketoacidosis is the main complication of untreated Diabetes.
Symptoms include:
1. Flushed, hot, dry skin
2. Not feeling hungry
3. Stomach pain
4. Vomiting
5. A strong, fruity breath odor
6. Fast and shallow breathing
7. Restlessness, drowsiness, or trouble waking up
8. Confusion
If you have Diabetic relatives or family members, it is best to see your Doctor immediately.
