Diabetes is one disease characterized by high blood glucose level,that result from defects in the body's ability to produce and use insulin.Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar,starches and other food into energy.
I found out that children also have the tendency of being diagnosed with diabetes- diabetes type 1 is usually found in them.In this type 1 the body cannot produce insulin,but with treatments those with type 1 can live a healthy live and also live long.
Type 2 is the most common form, here the cell ignores the insulin. Another form is during pregnancy; surprise!
Early detection and treatment decreases the chance of complications.
SYMPTOMS
Type 1
1. Frequent urination
2. Unusual thirst
3. Extreme hunger
4. Unusual weight loss
5. Extreme fatigue and irritability.
Type 2
1. Any of the type 1 symptoms
2. Frequent infections
3. Blurred vision
4. Cuts/bruises that are slow to heal
5. Recurring skin, gum, or bladder infections
6. Often people with type two have no symptoms
If you have any of these symptoms,it is not a death sentence, all you need do is visit a doctor, for a right test.Don't just conclude by your self that you are diabetic.You have to eat right, think right and live right.
