Diabetes, also known as Diabetes Mellitus, is a metabolic disorder that is becoming increasingly common among people. The carbohydrates consumed by us are
converted in to glucose and are made to enter the muscle, fat and liver cells.
This fuels or energizes you to perform day to day tasks. An organ pancreas
secretes insulin which allows the transportation of glucose from blood stream to
the body cells. If this chain of phenomena gets disrupted due to some reason,
glucose builds up in blood, leading to diabetes. Diabetes may be classified in
to the following types:
1. Type1 diabetes: In this type, body produces less insulin. The amount produced is not sufficient for moving the glucose from
blood stream to body cells. As a result glucose collects in blood making you
diabetic.
2. Type1 diabetes: In this type, the body cells become unresponsive to insulin. Consequently they fail to absorb the glucose from
bloodstream.
3. Gestational diabetes: This type affects women who are pregnant.
Diabetes produces symptoms like excessive thirst, excessive hunger, frequent urination, weight loss, fatigue, blurry vision, irritability
and slow healing of wounds. The possible diabetes triggers are heredity, aging,
obesity, consumption of high fat diet, pregnancy, excessive alcohol intake,
over-eating habits, stress, hypertension, high blood triglyceride levels and
physical inactivity. Diabetes can lead to life-threatening complications like,
heart disease, stroke, renal failures, blindness, leg ulcers and nerve
damage.
Ways to control diabetes:
1. Self monitoring is now possible with devices like Glucometer. This is a boon. You can check your blood
glucose levels any time you want and at home. This will help you to take timely
precautions and control your soaring blood glucose levels.
2. You can control your diabetes by using external or implanted insulin pumps.
3. Intake of oral hypoglycemic drugs like Thiazolidinediones, Meglitinides,
Sulfonylureas, Biguanides etc would help you to keep your glucose levels in
check.
4. Consume a diet low in saturated fat and concentrated sweet and rich in fiber.
5. Exercise regularly to do away with obesity, inactivity and also for accelerating the metabolic rate. Brisk walking is quite beneficial
as a diabetes control measure.
6. Give up alcohol drinking and smoking.
7. Relieve your stress through yoga, meditation, deep breathing or spas.
8. Learn from a professional the method of injecting insulin. You have to sincerely stick to the routine of taking insulin injections daily.
Generally a patient has to take 2-3 insulin injections each day prior to
meals.
