A Short View Over Diabetes

Symptoms

For Type 1:

 For type 1 diabetes, often dramatic symptoms are come on very suddenly.

·        Type 1 diabetes is generally recognized in babyhood or early adolescence, often in relationship with an illness (such as a virus) or injury.

·        The additional stress can cause diabetic ketoacidosis.

·        Symptoms of ketoacidosis include nausea and vomiting. Dehydration and often-serious disturbances in blood levels of potassium follow.

·        Without treatment, Diabetes ketoacidosis (DKA) can lead to coma and death.

For Type 2:     

Warning signs of type 2 diabetes are often subtle and may be recognized to aging or obesity.

·        A person might have type 2 diabetes for several years without knowing it.

·        can develop hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome.

·        can be precipitated by steroids and stress.

·        If not correctly treated, type 2 diabetes can lead to complications like kidney failure, heart disease, blindness and nerve damage.

Diabetes Mellitus Development processes

The hormone insulin, made in  beta cells of  pancreas, helps to regulate the blood glucose, which is needed to fuel many chemical processes. When food is digested (1), glucose levels in the bloodstream rise (2). The pancreas releases insulin (3), which helps body cells take up glucose. Insulin also helps convert glucose into glycogen, which is stored in the liver (4) and muscles until needed for fuel. Hormones regulate the release of insulin by causing blood sugar levels to drop (5), which in turn causes the pancreas to secrete less insulin (6). In a person with diabetes mellitus, the pancreas produces insufficient levels of insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin it makes. After food is digested (A), if the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin (B), the body is forced to break down fats instead of glucose for energy. Poisonous chemicals called ketones are excreted in the urine (D) and also build up in the bloodstream (E), leading to ketoacidosis, a serious condition that may cause coma or death. If the body is unable to use insulin properly, glucose is locked out of cells and circulates through the body without being absorbed. High levels of sugar in the blood (C) and urine (D) impair the body’s ability to combat with infections and may lead to ketoacidosis.
