Diabetes N Diabetes, all around us

Now days I am at home because of end term break in my college. It's HOLI time for all Indian families, so I visited many of my school mates and other friends. During this days I found around 4-5 new cases of diabetes in families which I am knowing, this influenced me write a blog on Diabetes - 'a Devil of 21st centuary'.

Diabetes is mainly two types: 1] Diabetes Mellitus and 2] Diabetes Insipidus.

1] Diabetes Melitus: It is of two types: A) Insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus and B) Non-Insulin dependent Diabetes Mellitus.

A) When pancreas produces little or no insulin it gives rise to Type-1 Insulin Dependent Diabetes. It is most serious form of diabetes. In this case insulin remains in the blood and so insulin injections need to be taken to regulate sugar metabolism. It usually develops in the first twenty years of life. When beta cells of the pancreas (that make insulin) are suddenly destroyed, Type-1 diabetes develops. In type-1 diabetes the immune system that protects our body instead attacks the pancreas and destroys beta cells. As a result production of insulin is affected and diabetes develops due to the build up of sugar.

B) It is the most common form of diabetes known as maturity onset diabetes and rarely develops before forty years of age. The symptoms are mild and so the condition remains undetected for many years. Usually a diabetes test (urine test or blood test) reveals the presence of diabetes. Patient will have normal levels of insulin in the blood. But the body cells refuse to accept insulin and so sugar accumulates in the blood. Usually overweight people develop Type-2 diabetes.

2] Diabetes Insipidus: Diabetes insipidus (DI) is a disease that causes frequent urination. The large volume of urine is diluted, mostly water. To make up for lost water, a person with DI may feel the need to drink large amounts and is likely to urinate frequently. Because of the excretion of abnormally large volumes of dilute urine, people with DI may quickly become dehydrated if they do not drink enough water. With this disease other diseases like fever, vomiting, or diarroea also irritate person.

Both types of Diabetes more or less similar characteristics it's difficult to distinguish orally, by which disease person is suffering.


Symptoms of Diabetes (Both types)

• Body cells can't produce required ATP (adenosine triphosphate - energy particle for body), so in primary stage cody suffers by nausea and vomiting
• In later stage, body cells to get energy starts breaking muscle cells into small tissues which causes fast body weight loss
• In type II diabetes, irregularity of the cell metabolism leads to produce more energy from Fat than Glucose metabolism, hence body goes in negative calorie effect
• Polydipsia: when Glucose level increases in blood, brain receives signal of more water and person feels thirsty and drinks more water
• Polyuria: Due to increase glucose level in blood and blood regulatory system tries to excrete more amount of glucose along with water is also excreted
• Polyphagia: Type II diabetes produces more Insulin because of more blood glucose level and Insulin also responsible for Hunger, so it leads to increased hunger
• Weight Fluctuation: Both type of Diabetes' indirect effect on the Fat and Protein metabolism. Imbalanced Protein and Fat metabolism leads to Weight Fluctuation
• Blurry Vision: Hyperosmolar hyperglycemia nonketotic syndrome is the condition when body fluid is pulled out of tissues including lenses of the eye, which affects its ability to focus, resulting blurry vision
• High supply of Glucose to Brain and other organ gives feeling of being more tired, so person become more irritated and angry
• Infections: Excess Blood glucose level sends only signals of More blood glucose level to the brain and Immune system of the person not sends signals of other infections, so antibody do not activate and infection causes disease

• Poor Wound Healing: High blood sugar resists the flourishing of WBC (white blood cell), responsible in healing process, so due to poor circulation of WBC healing process get affected
