Diabetes leads to increasing blood sugar levels, which ultimately ends up in deadly consequences to the body like loss of vision, heart diseases, kidney failure etc. Diabetes has severe effects on Insulin dependents rather than non-dependents.
Deficiency of Insulin causes Diabetes and Insulin is the hormone secreted by pancreas, especially the islets cell of pancreas. There are two major functions of Insulin. The first one is the breakage of the food into glucose which is the energy provider for our body and also helping in the movement of fats , glucose , proteins in the cells for the production of energy. Lowering the sugar level is the second major function of Insulin. There are two type of Diabetes - Type 1 & type 2 where Type 1 is the kind of diabetes where the body cannot generate Insulin and Type 2 is where the cells in the body are not able to utilize the insulin properly and in this type of diabetes its tough to know that you are suffering from it in the early stages and this hampers the body slowly & gradually.
Now you might be thinking, how you can treat this, right? Treatment is not that difficult provided you are maintaining your proper diet, doing regular exercise, stress controlling & Depression control. To maintain the equilibrium of the glucose level, it’s important to keep a well balanced diet. If you have to define the well balanced diet, it should be healthy diet which should be low in cholesterol, sugar, fats & must include the green leafy vegetables. For type 1 patients insulin is the most vital drug. Exercising would also help you in maintaining the blood sugar level. IF, by any chance the above precautionary measures are unable to solve the purpose then oral medication is the solution. Researches are going on and the scientists are really putting their hard work to develop a new method which is more effective to fight against this disease. Once this research is successful, there will be no need of taking Insulin shots and this technique is getting developed by transformation of the stem cells of human into mice.
More than 15 million Americans are suffering from diabetes and most of them are dependent on daily insulin shots. The key to control diabetes is to lower blood pressure and blood glucose levels and high cholesterol levels. Smoking triggers heart diseases and even greatly increases the risk for heart disease in diabetic people. Therefore diabetic people are advised to quit smoking in order to control the deadly heart diseases and high cholesterol levels.
