Diabetes, its Symptoms and Treatments

Recent studies have shown that one in four people over the age of 40 in the world has diabetes. As diabetes progresses, more problems occur in the eyes, kidneys, brain, heart, nerves and other parts of the body. Even just 30 minutes of exercise a day can reduce the risk of developing diabetes by up to 40 percent.

Diabetes killed 4.8 million people worldwide in 2012 alone, according to the International Diabetes Organization. Diabetes Day was observed on November 14, 1991, to raise awareness about the disease. However, under the auspices of the United Nations, the day has been officially observed since 2007.

What is diabetes?

Excessive blood sugar levels are called diabetes. The disease is caused by a person's own diet and lifestyle. It is not a contagious disease. Some diabetics are also hereditary. If diabetes is suspected, it should be immediately checked and treated at a health facility. To avoid diabetes, you should pay attention to regular exercise, balanced diet, etc.

Depending on the early cause of diabetes, it is generally considered to be of two types. Other types include gestational diabetes and rare diabetes.

The first kind

Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the amount of glucose in the blood is higher than normal when the body produces very little insulin. Because such patients need insulin to survive, they are dependent on insulin for life. Although it can appear at any age, such diabetes usually starts in childhood or adolescence and is more common in lean people.

The second type

Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which the body does not produce the required insulin and the insulin produced does not work effectively. Treatment may require a balanced diet and regular exercise, as well as medication and sometimes insulin. This type of diabetes usually occurs in obese people after the age of 40.
