Fundamentals Of Diabetes
Diabetes happens if your glucose or blood sugar is high at stake which is indicative to reflect our Digestion, Kidney at first and further to other parts of the body. The body is unable to secrete adequate insulin which is ab blood sugar-regulating hormone or also dysfunctional in the circulatory system.
Diabetes falls under two types:
a. Type 2 diabetics:
Reported from people with excess body weight and least physical activity. Most of the cases are diagnosed several years after onset. Observed to be only seen in adults but, in recent times, it is occurring in children too. Type 2 may affect the pancreas, blood vessels, nerves, heart, kidney if prolonged over time.
b: Type 1 diabetics:
Reported from people who have heavy trouble with insulin secretion and require daily administration of insulin. Symptoms include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, loss of weight, vision damage, and fatigue. post-meal the liver stocks the glucose extracted from the meal as glycogen and releases it into the blood as part of digestion. The role of insulin is the control of this storage and release of glucose.
That slowly affect mild damage to other body parts or transgress to specific part leading to serious consequences all of a sudden. And otherwise healthy adults may experience low blood sugar if they've been fasting or if they work out after not eating for a while.
How to manage both our condition and our risk of damage?
World Health Organization (WHO) reports 422 million people in low and middle-income countries than high-income countries are affected by diabetics and before the Pandemic, 1.5 million people died directly affected by diabetes.
Pandemic forces people to disavow periodic doctor visits perhaps, most of the middle & elder people are hesitant to go out. Keep up with medical appointments and lab tests has likely been more challenging lately as check out to medical centers conflicts with the general advice to stay at home and social distance. However, whenever one doubts high or low sugar, the preliminary test is the A1C test. It's also known as hemoglobin A1C.
This test measures our blood glucose levels for the past quarter plot them as a percentage. If the score is high, your blood sugar levels have been and vice-versa. The low sugar level may result in hypoglycemia. However, clinical and medical history proved hormone deficiencies, liver and kidney disorders, and pancreatic tumors can cause hypoglycemia. It is a common practice across the world for people with diabetes to get an A1C test at least twice a year. The doctor may suggest further tests if you’re having trouble maintaining control over your blood glucose levels.
There are other indications to check if sugar level imbalance shoots up may be symptoms of diabetes:
1. Injuries or Cuts taking longer span than usual to heal.
2. Injuries that look red or feel warm to the touch.
3. Blackness of skin, swollen part fail to cure naturally over time.
4. Fatigue.
5. Dizziness.
6. Restlessness or Anxiety.
7. Suffer Headache
8. Sweating.
9. Slurred speech
10.Blurred vision or dilated eyes.
11. Confusion.
12. Seizures
13. Lose consciousness
Treatment of diabetes involves diet and physical activity along with periodic monitoring of blood sugar levels especially blood glucose and the levels of other known risk factors that damage blood vessels.
The best home remedy is a Continuous glucose monitor (CGM) in a day that would reflect what's going on with sugar levels in our body. Balanced Diet & Consumption of Food at regular intervals, Oral medication as per Doctor's advice are the home remedy to keep sugar in control.
Like any disease, diabetics too occurs initially as a condition. To keep it under control and let it not turn into a permanent disease is in our hands.
