What is Daibetes, its types and Symptoms

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.

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
