In the United States up to 5% of the
population has Diabetes Mellitus. It is
believed that 25% of the population of the
United States carries a form of genetic
predisposition to diabetes.
What is Diabetes Mellitus?
Basically it is a disorder that causes the
body to have a hard time using the food that
is given to the body. According to the medical
dictionary it means a persons body does not
have the ability to convert blood sugar
(glucose) into energy. This is normally due to
a lack of insulin, without insulin, the body
can’t use the glucose as food, and the body
then becomes diabetic which will affect every
organ in the body.
When the body is unable to manufacture its own
insulin, it puts the body in jeopardy and can
cause serious health problems such as: heart
failure, blindness, kidney failure, and
problems with the nervous system.
The two best known types of diabetes are
insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (DDM) Type
I; known as juvenile onset diabetes. Children
and young adults can develop (IDDM) after
having the chickenpox, infections, or even
after having the common cold. This type I
diabetes now becomes an autoimmune disease.
After your autoimmune system kills the
infection the immune system will still attack
your body’s tissues thinking it’s protecting
itself from foreign organism. This attack on
the body’s tissues kills the cells that
produce insulin in the pancreas.
The second type of diabetics is
Non-Insulin-Dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM).
The most common diabetes occurs in adults who
are over the age of 40 and obese. Type II
diabetes is usually not noticeable. Some of
the symptoms are itchy skin, always thirsty,
fatigue, poor vision, and frequent skin
infections. Type II can go undetected for
years and not diagnose until the body suffers
a heart attack or stroke once the damage is
done to the heart, blood vessels, nerves, and
kidneys. This damage can not be reverse but
any new damaged can be prevented with early
treatments.
All adults over the age of 50 should have
their blood sugar levels tested along with a
complete physical every year. The test that
will be given is called a fasting blood sugar
test. The “Postprandial Blood Sugar Test” it
is given on a full stomach so the blood sugar
levels can be measured. A family history of
obesity, lipid disturbance, and premature
cardiovascular, eye or kidney disease is also
a clue that you're a good candidate of getting
diabetes.
You can help control your diabetes by
controlling the foods you eat. It is best to
eat a high-fiber diet, and eat only a moderate
amount of carbohydrates. After eating you
should check your blood sugar levels. Drinking
an alcohol beverage will increase your blood
sugar levels. Drink alcohol in moderation and
never drink on an empty stomach. It is best to
have a nutritionist work out a diet that you
personally like that will keep your blood
sugar levels low. Exercise is recommended 60
minutes after eating. this is when your blood
sugar levels are at their peak it's suggested
that walking daily or doing a 20 to 40 minute
aerobic exercise plan will help control and
lower your glucose levels. Researchers have
found a good supplement of minerals and herbs
are most helpful in lowering the blood sugar
levels in the body.
Even if you do all the above regularly you
might need medication to help control the
glucose levels. Have regular check ups by your
doctor. Check your feet for redness and
swelling, have your doctor check your blood
pressure, kidney function, cholesterol and see
an ophthalmologist to check for retinopathy
that can lead to blindness. If you notice
continual bad breath, bleeding gums, dry
mouth, and receding gums, and thirst and
fatigue these can be signs of diabetes.
Always consult your doctor and inform him or
her of any complications you may be having.
The goal is to catch any complications as
early as possible to keep your diabetes at
most the moderate level. |
