The condition of increased sugar levels in our blood is called diabetes. The statement may sound simple, but it leads to very many health issues like heart problems, vision problems, damage to kidneys, stroke, etc. Therefore, though it causes no pain, etc. it must be taken care of on a most urgent basis.
Diabetes symptoms - frequent urination especially during the night, tiredness, blurry vision, weight loss, too much thirst, and hunger are the most common symptoms of higher sugar levels in the blood. Those experiencing such conditions must immediately consult a diabetologist.
Types of diabetes – there are two types of diabetes -
Type 1 and Type 2. In the former, the pancreas loses its ability to produce enough insulin.
Type 2 – in this type of diabetes, interference is caused by the process of use of sugar, resulting in extra sugar circulating in the body.
Causes of diabetes – Type 1 diabetes is triggered by human genes and certain viruses and has no cure as of now. Insulin injections and changes in lifestyle are the ways to tackle this health problem.
Type 2 diabetes is mostly the result of obesity and lack of physical activity. A change in food habits is also needed to keep this type of diabetes in control.
It is estimated that nearly 77 million Indians are suffering from diabetes, and it is spreading fast. It is a lifestyle disease and is mainly prevalent in cities, though rural areas are not immune to this issue.
