Diabetes Symptoms, Causes & Types
P. Mehta
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.
