Know the Types of Diabetes
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.
