Diabetes is a common health problem in India. In diabetes, the body does not use carbohydrates and fats. Diabetes is identified by high blood sugar (“glucose”). Blood sugar is kept under control by insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is produced by pancreas.
Diabetes depends on
• The amount of insulin that is produced in the body
• Utilization of Insulin by the cells
There are two different types of diabetes:
Type 1: It is less common. Here the pancreas does not produce insulin. It usually starts in childhood or teen.
Type 2.: Starts around the age of 40. Here pancreas produces insulin. But, it does not make enough insulin. The body cannot use the insulin properly. More commonly seen among obese individuals.
Initially the body produces more insulin to maintain the normal blood glucose. Later, when the body can no longer maintain the blood glucose, diabetes comes on. This type of diabetes often runs in families.
Diabetes can severely affect many organs such as kidney, liver, heart etc. Diabetes has become one of the most common diseases, especially in India.
According to experts , now the diabetes is seen in almost all the age groups including infants. So it is very important to control the diabetes and also to maintain a healthy lifestyle to prevent the disease.
Despite efforts people fail to control the disease. Few of the reasons behind this failure are:
Improper or inadequate counseling of the patients who are not much familiar with the disease.
Taking insulin in an inadequate quantity which make it tough for the patient to achieve their target of reducing blood sugar level.
Lack of regular testing and follow up of diabetes. Diabetes cannot be cured and can be only managed time to time. Hence, it is very important to assess the blood sugar level in order to maintain it.
Delay in initiating insulin.
Inadequate understanding of the consequences of uncontrolled diabetes.
