What is Diabetes? • Diabetes is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar. There are multiple types of diabetes: Type 1 , Type 2, Pre-diabetes and Gestational Diabetes • The hormone insulin is responsible for ensuring the sugar from the blood enters into your cells to be stored or used for energy • In type 2 diabetes, your metabolism is damaged and sugar accumulates in your blood instead of entering into your cells. As a result, your blood sugar levels increase beyond normal levels.
What Are the Risk Associate With Diabetes? There are risk factors you should consider including • Age: Type 2 diabetes occurs most often in middle-aged and older people. • Waist circumference: Researchers found that overweight people with a large waist had a similar risk of developing diabetes to those who were diagnosed as clinically obese. • BMI: A BMI that ranges from 25 to 29.9 is considered overweight. And a BMI of 30 or higher falls into the obese category. Type 2 diabetes and obesity are generally very tightly linked, having a high BMI can be an indicator that you should be tested for diabetes.
Contd…. • Assessment of physical activity: Not having regular physical activity impairs control of blood sugar levels, suggesting that inactivity may play a key role in the development of Type 2 diabetes for many people. • Family history: Family health history is an important risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. Most of us with type 2 diabetes have a family member – such as a mother, father, brother, or sister – with the disease already.
What Are The Different Types of Diabetes? • There are a number of different types of diabetes, some more common than others • The most common form of diabetes in the general population is type 2 diabetes, which often develops from pre-diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is more common in children and gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that can occur during pregnancy • The other types of diabetes includes the following • Prediabetes • Gestational Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes Vs Type Diabetes Type 1 Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes Type 2 diabetes strikes when your body becomes resistant to insulin, causing abnormally high blood sugar levels to build up in your body. It’s the most common form of diabetes • Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease that attacks and destroys the beta cells in your pancreas, the organ that produces insulin in your body. • Insulin is the hormone used to control and regulate your blood sugar. About 10% of all people with diabetes have Type 1 diabetes
What is Pre-diabetes? • Pre-diabetes is a metabolic condition and a growing worldwide problem that is closely related to obesity. If undiagnosed or untreated, pre-diabetes can develop into type 2 diabetes. • Pre-diabetes means that blood sugar levels are higher than normal but, they’re not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes. That means your blood sugar level is 100-125 mg/dL, with an HBA1c range of 5.7% to 6.4%. • The increasing number of new cases of pre-diabetes presents a national concern as it carries large scale implications towards the future burden on healthcare in India. India has seen dramatic changes in the last 25 years. Urbanization, an increase in wealth, and a more sedentary lifestyle have all increased and contributed to the disease.
What is Type 1 diabetes? • Type 1 diabetes, or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition when the pancreas produces little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone needed to allow sugar to enter your cells to produce energy. • Different factors, including genetics and certain kinds of viruses, may contribute to type 1 diabetes. Although type 1 diabetes usually appears during childhood or your teenage years, it can also sometimes develop in adults • The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. Usually, the body’s own immune system — which is designed to fight harmful bacteria and viruses — mistakenly attacks insulin-producing beta cells in your pancreas. Other possible causes include genetics and exposure to viruses or other environmental factors.
What is Type 2 diabetes? • In type 2 diabetes, your metabolism is damaged and sugar accumulates in your blood instead of entering into your cells, causing high blood sugar levels. With type 2 diabetes, your body either resists the effects of insulin — an important hormone that regulates how sugar enters into your cells from your blood — or doesn’t produce enough insulin to maintain normal sugar levels • There is a lot written about type 2 diabetes causes but genetics and lifestyle factors, such as what you eat, being overweight and inactive, play a role.
Is Type 2 diabetes curable? • Contrary to popular belief, you no longer need to worry about type 2 diabetes being a lifelong disease. Medical research shows that type 2 diabetes can be reversed. • Diabetes reversalmeans that your high blood sugar levels have dropped to normal levels, without medicines or injections, and all diabetes symptoms have stopped.
