blessings be upon the Messenger of God.
Diabetes, commonly known as diabetes, is a metabolic disease that causes high blood sugar. The hormone insulin moves sugar from the blood into your cells to be stored or used for energy. With diabetes, either your body does not make enough insulin or it cannot effectively use the insulin it does produce.
Untreated, high blood sugar from diabetes can damage nerves, eyes, kidneys, and other organs.
There are several different types of diabetes:
* Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. The immune system attacks and destroys cells in the pancreas, where it makes insulin. The reason for this attack is not clear. About 10 percent of people with diabetes have this type.
Type 2 diabetes occurs when your body becomes resistant to insulin and builds up sugar in the blood.
Prediabetes occurs when blood sugar is higher than normal, but not high enough to diagnose type 2
diabetes . * Gestational diabetes is high blood sugar during pregnancy. The insulin-blocking hormones produced by the placenta cause this type of diabetes.
There is a rare condition called diabetes insipidus that is not associated with diabetes, although it has a similar name. It is a different condition in which the kidneys remove a lot of fluid from your body.
Each type of diabetes has unique symptoms, causes, and treatments.
Diabetes symptoms
^^ The symptoms of diabetes are caused by high blood sugar.
General symptoms General
symptoms of diabetes include:
Increased hunger
Increased thirst
Weight loss
Frequent urination
Blurry vision
Extreme fatigue
Sores that do not heal
symptoms in men
In addition to the general symptoms of diabetes, men with diabetes may experience decreased sex drive, erectile dysfunction and poor muscle tone.
Symptoms in women
Women with diabetes can also experience symptoms such as urinary tract infections, yeast infection, dry skin, and itching.
Type 1
diabetes Symptoms of type 1 diabetes can include:
extreme hunger,
increased thirst,
unintended weight loss,
frequent urination,
blurry vision,
fatigue, which
may also lead to mood changes.
Type 2
diabetes Symptoms of type 2 diabetes can include:
increased hunger,
increased thirst,
increased urination,
blurry vision
Fatigue,
slow-healing sores
may also cause recurring infections. This is because high glucose levels make it difficult for the body to recover. Most women with gestational
diabetes
do not have any symptoms. The condition is often discovered during a routine blood sugar test or an oral glucose tolerance test usually performed between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy.
In rare cases, a woman with gestational diabetes has increased thirst or urination.
Causes of diabetes
The different causes are related to each type of diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes
Doctors don't know exactly what causes type 1 diabetes. For some reason, the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas.
Genetics may play a role in some people. The virus can also cause an immune system attack.
Type 2 diabetes Type 2
diabetes stems from a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors. Being overweight or obese increases your risk as well. Weight gain, especially in your stomach, makes your cells more resistant to the effect of insulin on blood sugar.
This condition runs in families. Family members share genes that make them more likely to develop type 2 diabetes and be overweight.
Gestational diabetes
occurs as a result of hormonal changes during pregnancy. The placenta produces hormones that make the cells of a pregnant woman less sensitive to the influence of insulin. This could cause your blood sugar to rise during pregnancy.
Women who are overweight when pregnant or who gain a lot of weight during pregnancy are more likely to develop gestational diabetes.
Diabetes risk factors
There are certain factors that increase the risk of developing diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes You
are more likely to develop type 1 diabetes if you are a child or teenager, have a parent or sibling with the condition, or if you carry certain genes associated with the disease.
Type 2 diabetes Your
risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases if you:
are overweight
, age 45 or older,
have a parent or sibling with this condition,
are not physically active
, have gestational diabetes,
have prediabetes,
have high blood pressure, or High cholesterol or high triglycerides
You have African American, Hispanic, Latin American, Alaska Native, Pacific Islander, Indo-American, or Asian American ancestry.
Gestational diabetes Your
risk of developing gestational diabetes increases if: You
are overweight or
over the age of 25
You have diabetes Pregnancy During your last pregnancy you had
a baby who weighed more than 9 pounds.
You have a family history of type 2 diabetes.
You have PCOS.
Diabetes complications
High blood sugar damages organs and tissues throughout the body. The higher your blood sugar level and the longer you live with it, the greater your risk of complications.
Complications associated with diabetes include:
heart disease, heart attack, stroke,
neuropathy
Nephropathy
Retinopathy and vision
loss Hearing loss
Foot damage such as infections and sores that do not heal
Skin diseases such as bacterial and fungal infections
depression
mental illness
gestational diabetes uncontrolled gestational diabetes
can lead to problems that affect both mother and baby. Complications affecting the baby can include:
Premature labor A
higher than normal weight at birth
Increased risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life
Low blood sugar
Jaundice
stillbirth
The mother can develop complications such as high blood pressure (toxicosis). Pregnancy) or type 2 diabetes. You may also need a cesarean delivery, which is commonly referred to as a c-section.
The mother's risk of developing gestational diabetes also increases in future pregnancies.
Diabetes
treatment Doctors treat diabetes with some different medicines. Some of these medications are taken orally, while others are available as injections.
Type 1
diabetes Insulin is the main treatment for type 1 diabetes. It replaces the hormone that your body is not able to produce.
There are four types of insulin most commonly used. They are distinguished by how quickly they
start to act and how long their effects last : Rapid-acting insulin starts to work within 15 minutes and its effects last for 3 to 4 hours.
Short-acting insulin begins to work within 30 minutes and lasts 6 to 8 hours.
Intermediate-acting insulin starts working within 1 to 2 hours and lasts 12 to 18 hours.
Long-acting insulin begins to work a few hours after injection and continues for 24 hours or more.
Type 2 diabetes
Diet and exercise can help some people manage type 2 diabetes. If lifestyle changes are not enough to lower your blood sugar, you will need to take medication.
Diabetes and Diet
Healthy eating is an essential part of managing diabetes. In some cases, changing your diet may be enough to control the disease.
Type 1
diabetes. Your blood sugar level rises or falls depending on the types of foods you eat. Starchy or sugary foods make blood sugar levels rise rapidly. It causes protein and fats to gradually increase.
Your medical team may recommend limiting the amount of carbohydrates you eat each day. You will also need to balance your carbohydrate intake with your insulin shots.
Work with a dietitian who can help you design a diabetes meal plan. Having the right balance of protein, fats and carbohydrates can help you control your blood sugar. Check out this guide to starting the type 1 diabetes diet.
Type 2 diabetes
eating the right types of foods can control blood sugar and help you lose extra weight.
Calculating carbohydrates is an important part of eating type 2 diabetes. A dietitian can help you figure out how many grams of carbohydrate you should be eating at each meal.
To keep blood sugar levels stable, try to eat small meals throughout the day. Focus on healthy foods like:
fruits
Whole-
grain vegetables,
lean proteins like poultry and fish,
healthy fats like olive oil and nuts
, and some other foods can undermine efforts to control blood sugar, so figure out which foods to avoid if you have diabetes.
Gestational Diabetes
Eating a balanced diet is important for you and your baby during these nine months. Making the right food choices can also help you avoid diabetes medications.
Watch your portion sizes, and limit sugary or salty foods. Although you need some sugar to feed your growing baby, you must avoid overeating it.
Consider creating an eating plan with the help of a dietitian or dietitian. They will ensure that your diet contains the right mix of macronutrients to
prevent diabetes
Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented because it is caused by a problem with the immune system. Some of the causes of type 2 diabetes, such as your genetics or your age, are not under your control either.
However, many diabetes risk factors can be controlled. Most diabetes prevention strategies involve making simple adjustments to your diet and fitness routine.
If you've been diagnosed with prediabetes, here are some things you can do to delay or prevent type 2 diabetes:
Get at least 150 minutes a week of aerobic exercise, such as walking or cycling.
Reduce your intake of saturated and trans fats as well as refined carbohydrates from your diet.
Eat more fruits, vegetables and whole grains.
Eat smaller portions.
Try to lose 7 percent of your body weight if you are overweight or obese
