what causes type 2 diabetes?

Posted by About Diabetes on Monday, 21 April 2014 Label:
This type is a common of diabetes, almost 90% of people with diabetes are type 2 diabetes. Factors leading to type 2 diabetes are a combination of genetic susceptibility and lifestyle. Generally this disease Affects the Elderly and middle-aged.

Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, a condition in which the body's muscle, fat and liver cells do not use insulin effectively. This is a bad condition, but the development of type 2 diabetes usually occurs very slowly. A person may not be aware of it after he suffered the disease for many years.
No single factor, but there are several factors that are most highlighted a major cause of type 2 diabetes.

  • Overweight.
  • Lack of physical activity.
  • Have a family history of diabetes.
  • Gestational during pregnancy.
  • Had delivered a baby weighing more than 40 kg.
  • Have high blood pressure.
  • Have high cholesterol.
  • Factors of age (over 40 years).


Among the many causes, obesity and genetic factors are the most popular issues in society. Imbalance between caloric intakes with physical activity will result in obesity, which in turn can lead to insulin resistance. Especially for someone who had central obesity (abdomen distended). They are not only at risk for diabetes, but can also spread to the heart and blood vessel disorders.

If you have a family history of diabetes and body fat you have, I hope that this article be a good news for you. You may not believe or worry. But both of these will not help. There is hope for millions of people paunchy and have a family history of diabetes to reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes if they are willing to change your lifestyle and lose weight. And hopefully that person is you.

what is the cuase type 1 diabetes?

Posted by About Diabetes on Label:
Not as usual, where the immune system kills bacteria, viruses and harmful substances potentially harmful to the body. In patients with type 1 diabetes, the immune system actually kills the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. As a result, no insulin can be produced. Some of the main things that causes type 1  diabetes include:

 1. Genetic Factors

Genetic or hereditary provide role if someone at risk of type 1 diabetes or not. Genes carry instructions for making proteins needed body cells. Variants of certain genes make proteins called HLAs on white blood cells. The protein produced by the gene HLAs is what determines whether the immune system recognizes the cells as part of the body or as a foreign body.
Not only genes that HLAs be a major determinant of risk of type 1 diabetes. Yet genes HLAs help scientists to understand how the disease develops and to identify potential targets for therapy and prevention.

2. Autoimmune destruction of beta cells

In patients with type 1 diabetes, white blood cells called T cells to kill and destroy beta cells. In the medical world it is called autoimmunity. Instead of protecting the body from bacteria and viruses, antibodies actually kill beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. In fact a recent study showed it to trigger insulin antibodies to attack the beta cells.

 3. Environmental Factors

Environmental factors such as diet, viruses and toxins thought to increase the risk of type 1 diabetes. Several scientists argue that poor environmental factors can trigger autoimmune damage to a person with type 1 diabetes genetic susceptibility.

 4. Viruses and Infections

Virus and infection can not cause diabetes directly. The scientists believe the virus can enter the body and destroys the beta cells, which in turn triggers the autoimmune response in susceptible people. The experts also are developing a vaccine for pancreatic inflammation that is expected to prevent type 1 diabetes.

 5. Infant feeding

Some studies assert giving foods in infants may increase or decrease the risk of type 1 diabetes. Example, infants who received breast milk and vitamin D supplements may decrease the risk. Instead babies since the beginning of drinking cow's milk and cereal proteins have a higher risk of developing type 1 diabetes.

What are the symptoms of diabetes?

Posted by About Diabetes on Label:
Although the terms of the causes of type 1 diabetes and type 2 are different but if you talk about the symptoms of diabetes, type two diabetes symptoms showed relatively similar. Therefore, in principle, a good diabetic type 1 and type 2 have the same problem which blood sugar levels are too high.
Some of the symptoms that are common in people with diabetes include:

 1. Often go to the bathroom

If lately you go to the bathroom more often than usually then you need to be vigilant. When insulin is absent or ineffective, the kidneys have difficulty filtering to be returned to the blood glucose. So the kidneys will go the extra mile to draw water from the blood to dilute the glucose. As a result, the bladder becomes full and you should be forced to go to the bathroom.

 2. Often feel thirsty

Because the water content in the blood into the urine much wasted as a result the body is dehydrated. The effect you often feel thirsty and need to drink more to replace lost fluids. This condition is related to point 1.

 3. Losing weight

The decline will be more drastic diabetes seen in type1 diabetes. Due to this type of pancreas fails to produce insulin, which ultimately resulted in the absence of glucose that can be processed into energy. As a result of these conditions, the body reacts by breaking down muscle tissue and fat. While the type 2 diabetes weight loss occurs due to the relatively slow rate of insulin resistance that occurs.

4. Agency weakness and fatigue

It is still a matter of energy. A diabetic may eat foods, but instead of glucose is generated instead entered into the blood. While the cells in the body they are still hungry.

 5. Signs another

Some other Things That may be a sign of diabetes symptoms include numbness, blurred vision and infections or bruises that take a long time to membaik.Please be sure to go to the doctor to get the best solution.

Know the Types of Diabetes

Posted by About Diabetes on Label:
Broadly speaking there is two main causes of diabetes are the pancreas does not produce insulin and the insulin is not working properly. May be because both of them.

In general there are two types of diabetes:

1. Type 1 Diabetes

A total of 10% of all people with diabetes are type 1 diabetes. Majority of people with this type of less than 40 years old, mostly filled by children and adolescents. Sometimes it is found in the case of someone who aged above 40, however, is the percentage of children and adolescents is still Dominating.
People with type 1 diabetes have high blood sugar because the pancreas does not produce insulin. The scientists believe this type of diabetes the immune disorder in which the immune system they see foreigners insulin-producing cells and then destroy it. As a result there is no insulin produced. Insulin is like a key to unlock the cells. The absence of insulin- making cells lack energy.

 Type 1 diabetics can live with insulin injections for the rest of his life. But the biggest difficulty injecting insulin is to ensure that the right amount of insulin according to the needs of the body. If you inject too much insulin the body will burn too much glucose, a result of blood sugar will fall to very low levels conversely, if you inject too little insulin, the body will lack energy and blood sugar may continue to rise. If not handled properly both the above conditions can even be life threatening.

 2. Type 2 Diabetes

Type 2 diabetes is also known as insulin resistance. Because the body does not produce sufficient amounts of insulin or the cells do not react to insulin. People with posture fat / obese are more prone to develop type 2 diabetes than those with weight. Excess weight causes the body to release chemicals that disrupt the balance of the cardiovascular system and metabolism.

Risk of type 2 diabetes is also getting bigger with age. Experts argue generally the more age because a person's weight is also increasing and becoming more and more inactive.
Some people may be able to control the symptoms of type 2 diabetes with weight loss diet; increased exercise and routine control their sugar levels. However, type 2 diabetes is a progressive disease, the day will worsen and eventually patients must take insulin are usually in the form of tablet.

Knowing The Diabetes

Posted by About Diabetes on Label:
Among the people of this disease is more popularly known as “sugar disease”. I'm sure you have heard or exist relatives who suffer from diabetes. Currently it is not difficult to find a diabetic. Although not contagious (unless genetic factors) disease like a plague.

Experts predict by 2030 the number of people around the world will diabetes more than 600 million people. Currently diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, kidney failure, amputations, heart failure and stroke. Wow a great achievement for the size of the disease.

Diabetes is a condition in which your blood glucose is too high. The reason could be because of two things, namely the pancreas can’t produce insulin (pancreas damage) or because the insulin that is produced does not work properly ( insulin resistance ) .

Then why insulin is so important to health. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that allows glucose to enter the body's cells. Insulin is like a key to open the cell. While glucose is useful as an energy source of the body.

Glucose comes from digesting carbohydrate and is also produced by the liver. When glucose is produced but no insulin or the insulin does not work properly then glucose will accumulate in the blood.

Maybe that's the sad picture of the diabetes. Instead of getting energy from eating carbohydrates and sugar, diabetics have problems after consuming it.
