DIABETES

WHAT IS DIABETES?

Diabetes is a lifelong condition that causes a person’s blood glucose (sugar) levels to become too high.

The amount of glucose in the blood is controlled by the hormone insulin that is produced by the pancreas. Insulin moves glucose out of the blood and into cells where it is broken down to produce an essential source of energy that fuels our bodies.

If you have diabetes the body is unable to move glucose into your cells.

 

WHAT ARE THE DIFFERENT TYPES?

There are two main types of diabetes:

Type 1 diabetes: The body’s immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas so the body doesn’t make any insulin (IDDM). LESS COMMON

Type 2 diabetes: The body doesn’t produce enough insulin or the body’s cells don’t react to insulin this is known as insulin resistance( NIDDM). MORE COMMON

There are also some rarer types of diabetes such as gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM)  in pregnancy & LADA (Latent Autoimmune Diabetes in Adults).

WHAT IS PRE-DIABETES?

In India, around 90% of all adults with diabetes have type 2 and one in 10 men now has diabetes. However, due to the rise in obesity, this figure is expected to increase. In addition, many people have pre-diabetes (1 in 5 ), this is where their fasting blood glucose levels is above the normal range (80 –110 mg%) increasing your risk of developing the condition.

WHAT SHOULD YOU DO?

If you have diabetes, it is important to eat healthily, take regular exercise, and carry out regular blood tests to ensure your blood glucose levels remain stable.

It is also important to have regular health check-ups and be aware of the likely long-term complications so that early detection and treatment is possible.

 

 

SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES

Feeling very thirsty

Frequent urination, particularly at night

Fatigue

Unexplained weight loss

Slow-healing cuts or wounds

Blurred vision

Frequent gum or skin infections and for women vaginal infections.

 

COMPLICATIONS OF DIABETES

Blood vessels can be damaged by the effects of high blood glucose levels and poorly controlled diabetes can cause or lead to:

 

Heart disease and stroke

 

Diabetic retinopathy; the blood vessels of the retina become damaged which can lead to sight loss

 

Kidney disease; if the small blood vessels in the kidneys become damaged and stop working as efficiently, this condition is often called diabetic nephropathy

 

Nerve damage, known as diabetic neuropathy, is when the small blood vessels that supply nerves can be disrupted, leading to problems with nerve function

 

Sexual problems; erectile dysfunction is very common for men suffering from diabetes and women may experience a variety of sexual difficulties, which can include arousal difficulties and pain during sex.

 

Foot problems; due to poor circulation and nerve damage, can mean that cuts and grazes go unnoticed and become infected. The poor blood supply means that infections are slow to heal and may become ulcerated.
