Diabetes is a widespread disease and a very serious one too, especially diabetes mellitus -a lifelong disease. Diabetes is a disease which affect our metabolism (a vital process which transform food in energy) by crippling the insulin production (a hormone which is essentially in the glucose absorption). that’s way the glucose( our main source of energy)goes from blood to urine and with it our fuel too.
If you already wander what cause diabetes let me tell that isn’t a contagious disease. Even in our society the exact causes are unknown,and our scientists can’t tell why some people are affected by diabetes and some don’t. They can only tell which factors increase the risk of diabetes. The mains factors are related to drugs like steroids or alloxan, streptozocin, which affect the pancreas cells (the insulin production gland). But not only, other important factor is our genes. It seems that the diabetes is a family condition because the studies revealed that the chance to develop diabetes is with 25% higher if there’s another diabetic person in the family.
How this disease can be treated? A diabetic should start the treatment with a review of his/her lifestyle and start changing the diet starting exercise etc. Other important factor is the diet which can keep you away from the diabetes or can get you closer. You need to keep a balance between fats, carbohydrates, proteins and vegetables. Others factors can be the stress, the age, viruses, smoking. Keep an eye to your blood sugar levels especially before meals and going to bed. This may seem an overwhelming job but that’s the only way to control the disease. In this way you can keep the glucose level in a specific range. Medications is a good way to control the sugar level from your blood but be careful and don’t take any drugs by you judgment because lots of them will increase you glucose level instated of lowering it.
