controls blood sugar level but the disturbance in hormone secretion causes high
glucose level in the body. Diabetes is a kind of metabolic disorder due to which the

and the glucose level in body rises.



Press Release Body: In every human body the secretion of insulin and glycogen
controls blood sugar level but the disturbance in hormone secretion causes high
glucose level in the body. Diabetes is a kind of metabolic disorder due to which the
body is unable to convert sugar and starch in the food into simple sugar and energy
and the glucose level in body rises. This disease arises due to low production of
insulin or improper usage of the hormone as insulin controls blood sugar level so
people take diabetes supplements to support the metabolism process.
Types and symptoms
Diabetes is of three types that include type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes. Due to
this disease the body starts using fats and proteins as energy source as the glucose
breakdown process stops completely. The patient shows some symptoms like poluria due
to which the person urinate frequently, polydipsia causes increase in thirst and
desire for consequent fluid intake, polyphegia relates with increased appetite as
the person feels more and more hungry and even excessive weight loss. In type I
diabetes the symptoms develop quickly whereas in type 2 the symptoms are much slow.
Some severe conditions
The extreme case of diabetes ketoacidosis is characterized by the smell of acetone
in the breath of the patient, polyuria, vomiting, nausea and abdominal pain. This
medical emergency situation is treated in hospital as it can be lethal in some
cases. Another severe condition in diabetes is hyperosmolar nonketotic state due to
loss of body water as the patient has the habit of drinking sugar-containing drinks.
Genetics
Diabetes is partly inherited from generation to generation but by proper diabetes
control methods it can be prevented. The mutated genes of diabetes are carried by
some people that causes MODY which is maturity onset diabetes of the young. These
genes got triggered by some viral infection, stress or drugs so correct diabetes
treatment is required for such patient.
Prevention
The risk of diabetes can be suppressed and prevented by changing the diet and
increasing the physical activity. The suspected individual should eat good amount of
whole grains and sugar. Even by giving children Vitamin D or some diabetic
supplements in their first year of life also reduces the risk of type 1 diabetes.
Even breastfeeding act as good prevention of type 2 diabetes in the mothers. Through
prophylactic usage of rosiglitazone, metformin and valsartan, the diabetes in
predisposed patients is delayed and is a good method for diabetes control.
Diabetes Treatment
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease which can't be cured permanently but there
are some methods for diabetes control and diabetes treatment. By dietic support,
self glucose monitoring, sensible exercise and patient education any patient can
control blood sugar and maintain the glucose level in the body. As the disease is
associated with higher risks of cardiovascular disease so lifestyle should be
modified for diabetes control so as to control blood pressure and cholesterol. The
patient should cess the habit of smoking, wear diabetic socks and consumes correct
diet. Even by the usage of diabetes supplements and insulin the glucose level can be
controlled. The diabetes treatment involves combined usage of both regular and
synthetic insulin analogs like Humalog, Novolog or Lantus and Humalog. Nowadays
people use insulin pumps also for maintaining the glucose level. Even a blood lancet
is used to draw out the blood sample and check the sugar level in it.
