Understanding Diabetes

 What Is Diabetes?The pancreas is located behind the liver and StomachThe balance of glucose and insulin:

Diabetes is a disease that affects the way, that food your body uses for energy. Usually is the sugar, take in digested and broken down according to a simple sugar called glucose. The glucose then circulates in your blood, where it waits, give the cells are used as fuel. Insulin, a hormone that helps move glucose into the cells of the pancreas. The amount of insulin, fits a healthy pancreas based on the level of glucose. But, if you have diabetes, this process collapses, and blood sugar levels are too high.

There are two types of diabetes blown. People with type 1 diabetes are totally unable to produce insulin. People with type 2 diabetes can produce insulin, but their cells do not respond. In both cases not the glucose into the cells move and blood glucose levels can be high. In the course of time, these high blood sugar can cause serious complications.

Pre-diabetes means that the cells in your body against insulin are resistant or your pancreas produces as much insulin as required. Their blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to diabetes will be called. This is also known as "impaired fasting glucose" or "Impaired glucose tolerance". A diagnosis of pre-diabetes is a warning signal, which will later develop diabetes. The good news: You can to the development of type 2 diabetes lose weight, to prevent the changes in diet and exercise.

A person with diabetes type 1 do not insulin. Type 1 is most often occurs 30 years ago, but can strike at any age. Type 1 may be caused by a genetic disorder. The origins of type 1 are not fully understood, and there are several theories. But all the possible causes is the same result: the pancreas produces very little or no insulin. Type 1 requires frequent insulin injections.

A person with type 2 diabetes has become sufficient insulin, but the cells against it. Type 2 usually occurs in adults over 35 years old, but can affect anyone, including children. The national institutes of health status, that 95 percent of all cases of diabetes are type 2. Why? It is a lifestyle disease caused by obesity, lack of exercise, increased age and to a certain extent, genetic susceptibility.

Gestational diabetes (GD) about 4 percent of the concerns all pregnant women. It usually during the second trimester appears and disappears after the birth of the baby.

Such as type 1 and type 2 glucose, your body can effectively and blood glucose levels get too high. If GD is not controlled, complications can affect you and your baby. Your doctor will you develop a diet and exercise plan, and may be drugs. DG increases the risk for the development of it again in future pregnancies and also increases the risk of type 2 diabetes later in life.
