“Diabetes disease Control”

Diabetes is a lifelong disease that can affect any age, can be controlled and prevented.
This metabolic disorder causes high blood sugar levels as a result of an unstable production
of the hormone called insulin, unfortunately the body can't make enough insulin or can’t
effectively use the insulin it makes. The common symptoms are increased thirst, weight loss,
frequent urination, blurry vision. There are several types of diabetes but the two principal
types are: Diabetes type 1 and type 2. In type 1 it's not clear yet, but the immune system
destroys cells in the pancreas, hindering insulin production. On the other hand type 2 is when
your blood sugar levels rise as a result of your body developing an insulin resistance. The
treatment can consist of lifestyle changes with diet and exercise, helping the manage of type 2
if that’s not enough, there’s different medications, some are taken orally while others as
injections.

The causes of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is due to a genetic condition that shows up in
early life, where the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin producing beta
cells in the pancreas. A child or teen that carries certain genes associated with type 1 diabetes,
is more likely to get this one. The treatment replaces the hormone your body isn’t able to
produce. Type 2 is mainly lifestyle-related and develops over time. The overweight, age 45 or
older, have a parent or sibling with the condition aren’t physically active, prediabetes, high
blood pressure, high cholesterol, or high triglycerides are risky causes for which the disease
can develop. Carrying extra weight Type 2 diabetes also disproportionately affects certain
racial and ethnic groups; according to a 2016 study, an adult of African American, Hispanic,
or Hispanic descent is more likely to be diagnosed with type 2 than a white adult.
As insulin is not produced in a normal way, what happens to people with diabetes over a
period of time is that sugar is not regulated and it’s been accumulated in the bloodstream.
When this happens other organs start to collapse, such as kidneys, eyes, nerves and so on. It
is important to educate yourself about diabetes and start taking the appropriate care to prevent
or manage the disease in the case of getting it, doing this can help you protect your health.
