Symptoms of Diabetes

There are two types of diabetes. Some sign and symptoms of both types include: 

  • Frequent urination 
  • Feeling very thirsty
  • Blurry vision 
  • Cuts or sores that do not heal properly
  • Excessive hunger
  • Recurrent infections
  • Presence of ketones in the urine

 But in diabetes, type 1 people experience irritability and weight loss. In diabetes-type2 people feel numbness and tingling in their hands. 

Causes of Diabetes

Cause of Type 1 Diabetes:
Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune disorder. The immune system starts producing antibodies against the pancreas beta cells and destroys it.

Cause of Type 2 Diabetes:

Type 2 diabetes is caused by an inability of the body to use insulin efficiently. The amount of sugar in the blood is controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is produced by the pancreas (the gland behind the stomach). When the food is digested and enters the bloodstream, insulin releases glucose from the blood and introduces it into the cells, where it is broken down to produce energy. However, if you have diabetes, your body can not turn glucose into energy. In fact, either there is not enough insulin to transmit glucose, or the insulin that is produced does not function properly. Although you can not change your lifestyle to reduce the risk of Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes is often associated with obesity.

Risk Factors of Diabetes

There are many risk factors for diabetes. There are chances of diabetes type 1 in people whom parents and sibling having diabetes. Type 1 diabetes can appear at any age but commonly its signs appear at childhood or adolescence. Genetics is considered a major contributor to the cause of diabetes type 1 diabetes.

  Diabetes type 2 can be controlled through diet or exercise. People having diabetes needs extra support for controlling diabetes.  According to the American diabetic association, depression is one of the risk factors of diabetes. Other risk factors include:

  • Sedentary lifestyle
  • Obesity 
  • Unhealthy eating habits
  • Alcoholism
  • Genetics

Preventive Measures of Diabetes

Diet and exercise are used as treatment and prevention of diabetes type 2. According to the medical news today if a doctor diagnoses a person with type 2 diabetes, he or she will often recommend a lifestyle change to promote weight loss and overall health. The doctor may refer to diabetics or pre-diabetics to a dietician. A specialist can help a person with diabetes to lead an active and balanced lifestyle and control their condition.

The steps a person can take to adopt a lifestyle with diabetes include:

  • Eat a diet rich in fresh, nutritious foods, including whole grains, fruits, vegetables, lean proteins, low-fat dairy products, and healthy sources of fat, such as nuts.

  •  Avoid high-sugar foods that provide empty calories or other nutritional values, such as carbonated drinks, deep-fried foods, and high-sugar desserts.

  • Do not drink too much alcohol or drink less than one drink a day for women or two drinks a day for men.

  • Perform at least 30 minutes of exercise for at least 5 minutes a week, e.g. B. Hiking, aerobics, cycling or swimming.
