Type 1 Diabetes
Identify The Roots Of Type 1 Or Juvenile Diabetes Early
Juvenile diabetes or Type 1 diabetes is
common among children. Every year, around 13,000 new cases of Juvenile
diabetes are reported in America. True to its name, it mostly attacks
the children but adults as well come into its hold.
In juvenile diabetes, shortage of supply of insulin and glucose
builds up in the bloodstream as cells are unable to use it. The body is
unable to use the entire glucose because it is available in the
bloodstream only.
This increases hunger. You consume more food,
but suffer from fatigue. Frequent urination is another symptom of this
type of diabetes. What happens later is insulin producing beta cells of
the pancreas are totally destroyed by body's own immune system. Hence
the necessity arises to get the supply of insulin from the outside
sources.
Some other specific symptoms of Type I diabetes are:
In
women, absence of menstruation, blurred vision, nausea and vomiting mark
the arrival of this disease. Unbearable abdominal pain, abrupt weight
loss despite normal or increased appetite, exhaustion when you walk
short distances, more exhaustion if you climb are the other common
symptoms.
You can not arrive at the final conclusion with regard
to the diabetes condition with the presence of the above conditions
alone. For further confirmation, diagnostic approach is also necessary.
The most desirable test is insulin test. This test gives the firm
indications/results, whether you have the diabetes or not.
As
soon as the symptoms re-confirmed, hospitalization is the initial step
to regulate the insulin level. But diabetes is not a disease that has
the guaranteed cure. Though, it can be controlled with apt care. There
is also the fear of Type I diabetes turning to Type II diabetes. You
need to understand your diabetes in proper perspective by knowing about
the diabetic related problems. Call it diabetic education. Dietary
changes are inevitable as diet is the important factor for curbing as
well as increasing the diabetes condition.
Take control of the
disease; never allow it to take control of you. If you ignore the
disease at the initial stages, it may lead to several other types of
serious diseases such as high blood pressure, heart related diseases and
paralysis.
