Everything You Need To Know About Diabetes. by Mactons(m): 12:00am On Oct 30, 2021 |
Diabetes mellitus, or diabetes, is a metabolic condition that produces excessive blood sugar levels. Insulin transports sugar from the blood into your cells, where it is stored or utilized for energy. Diabetes occurs when your body either does not produce enough insulin or does not utilize the insulin it produces adequately. If left untreated, diabetes-related elevated blood sugar can harm your nerves, eyes, kidneys, and other organs. There are a few different types of diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. The immune system targets and kills cells in the pancreas, which manufactures insulin. It is unknown what is causing this onslaught. This kind affects around 10% of people with diabetes. Type 2 diabetes develops when your body gets resistant to insulin, causing sugar to accumulate in your blood. Prediabetes is considered as having blood sugar levels higher than usual but not high enough to warrant a diagnosis of type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes is known as elevated blood sugar levels throughout pregnancy. Insulin-blocking substances generated by the placenta causes this kind of diabetes. Diabetes insipidus, despite its similar name, is an uncommon illness unrelated to diabetes mellitus. It is a distinct disorder in which your kidneys drain an excessive amount of fluid from your body. Each kind of diabetes has its set of symptoms, causes, and treatment options.
