Diabetes is defined as a metabolic disorder that is
characterized by high glucose. Diabetes arises from lack of or markedly
decreased insulin secretion. Type I diabetes is the most serious
diabetes. It occurs when the human body's auto immune system does not
produce enough insulin to combat the foreign bodies entering the
bloodstream. It is caused by genetic and environmental factors and
affects up to 2 % to 3 % of the diabetic population. For more
information on type one diabetes, read. The three main diabetes
types are:
a) Type 1 diabetes
b) Type 2 diabetes
c) Gestational diabetes
Some of the symptoms
normally noticed in Type I diabetes are:
1) Frequent urination
2) Sudden weight loss
3) The most common indication that a person has
diabetes is when wounds heal slowly
4) Blurred vision, lack of
sensation on the skin and itching of the hands and feet
The
diagnosis of Type I diabetes is normally done on the basis of the onset
of the symptoms outlined above. Other ways of diagnosis are:
1) Health screening
2) Detection of hyperglycemia
3) New signs and
symptoms associated with type I diabetes
As the number of
patients suffering from diabetes symptoms is staggering, one needs to
pay attention to diabetes diet and exercise, because exercise helps your
body use insulin better to convert glucose into energy. For diabetes
cure, the patient should keep a check on symptoms of diabetes and should
be aware of related information about diabetes and take diabetes
medication accordingly for diabetes management.
