Diabetes is a disease in which the
amount of glucose (blood sugar level) in the patient's blood is higher than the
requirement. It may be due to two reasons: either your body is not producing
enough insulin or your cells Not responding to the insulin being produced.
Insulin is a hormone that regulates the metabolism of carbohydrate and fat in
your body. Metabolism means that through the process in which the body digest
food so that the body can get energy and it can grow
The food we eat that goes into the
stomach and turns into energy which is called glucose. Now it is possible to
reach this energy / glucose within millions of cells present in our body, and
this is possible only when our pancreas (pancreas) produces insulin in
sufficient quantity. Glucose cannot enter into the cells without insulin. And
then our cells burn the glucose and give energy to the body. When this process
is not done normally, the person suffers from diabetes.
In normal healthy person, the level
of glucose in the blood remains 70 to 100 mg./dl before eating. After eating
this level becomes 120-140 mg / dl and then gradually decreases. After
diabetes, this level does not become normal and in excess of 500 cases it goes
upto 500 mg / dl.
Types of Diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes: This happens when
your body stops making insulin. In such cases, the patient has to give insulin
outside. It is also called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM
Type 2 diabetes: This happens when
your cells do not react to insulin being produced. It is also called
non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM
Gestational diabetes: This happens
to women who are pregnant and have never been diabetic before. During
pregnancy, blood glucose levels may be due to excessive requirement. have never
had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy. It may
precede development of type 2 DM.
