DIABETES :

INTRODUCTION:
“DIABETES IS CHRONIC DISEASE
WHICH IS CAUSED DUE TO HIGH
GLUCOSE LEVEL IN BLOOD.IT IS
A KIND OF METABOLIC DEFECT WHICH ARISES DUE TO
INSUFFICIENT OR NO PRODUCTION
OF INSULIN OR DUE TO INABILITY
OF OUR BODY TO USE OR RESPOND TO ITS PRODUCTION”
BACKGROUND:

Diabetes (diabetes mellitus) is classed as a metabolism disorder. Metabolism refers to the way our bodies use digested food for energy and growth. Most of what we eat is broken down into glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar in the blood - it is the principal source of fuel for our bodies.When our food is digested the glucose makes its way into our bloodstream. Our cells use the glucose for energy and growth.
Glucose is one of the most important metabolities of blood.its level must be controlled.its the main respiratory substrate and must be supplied continuously to all cells for functions.lack in glucose level results in fainting.the normal glucose level in blood is 90mp per 100cm^3 but may vary from 70 to 150 mg per hundred cubes.rise of glucose in blood stimulates the production of insulin and its decrease will inhibit it. However, glucose cannot enter our cells without insulin being present - insulin makes it possible for our cells to take in the glucose.

NOW WHAT IS INSULIN??
Insulin is a harmone produced by pancreas.insulin actually help in digestion of glucose and its incorporation in blood.it maintains the sugar(glucose)level in blood.its ceased or insufficient production is the main cause of diabetes.

CAUSE OF DIABETES:
The most initial and most primary cause of diabetes,as mentioned above,is insufficient production of insulin.it may be due to the phase if pancreas stop producing insulin or the cells start resisting the working of insulin.in both ways glucose level rise and cause diabetes.

TYPES OF DIABETES:
Diabetes is of three main types depending upon its cause:
TYPE 1 DIABETES:
CAUSE: it occurs when our body stop producing insulin and insulin is injected externally.it is referred as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM for short, and juvenile diabetes.

TYPE 2 DIABETES:
CAUSE:it occurs when our cells fail to use insulin properly and offer resistance in its functioning.it is referred as non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, NIDDM for short, and adult-onset diabetes.

GESTATIONAL DIABETES:
CAUSE:it occurs when a pragnent women suddenly get high level of glucose.

SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES:
Some of the signs and symptoms of type 1 and type 2 diabetes include:
• Increased thirst
• Frequent urination
• Extreme hunger
• Unexplained weight loss
• Presence of ketones in the urine (ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not enough insulin)
• Fatigue
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing sores
