Diabetes Symptoms, Causes & Types
Diabetes affects the manner in which the body handles
carbohydrates, fats and proteins. If neglected, diabetes can have
serious complications. The diabetic people have high blood sugar
level. The blood sugar level is regulated by insulin - a hormone
produced by the pancreas, which depends on your eating
habits.
The symptoms of diabetes included excessive urination,
excessive thirst and hunger, sudden weight loss, blurred vision,
delay in healing of wounds, dry and itchy skin, repeated
infections, fatigue and headache. These diabetes symptoms may be
due to other reasoons also.
There are two different types of diabetes.
Type I Diabetes (juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent
diabetes): The reason for type I diabetes is due to pancreas
unability to produce insulin.
Type II Diabetes (non insulin dependent diabetes or adult
onset diabetes): This diabetes is a result of body tissues
becoming resistant to insulin. It is usually hereditary.
If neglected, diabetes can lead to various complications such
as damage to the kidneys, heart disease, nerve damage,
hypoglycemia (drastic reduction in glucose levels). Diabetes is a
serious disease and there is no treatment of it. However, it can
be brought under control by proper diabetes diet
plan. Fortunately, with a healthy lifestyle and with diet
management you can lead a healthy life.
