Fourth cause of death in developed countries, diabetes is expected to affect more than 360 million people worldwide in 2030, according to an estimate by the World Health Organization (WHO). Yet, many are unaware of the signs and complications of this disease. What is diabetes? Diabetes is a disease that has become an epidemic. 8% of the world population is concerned. Diabetes causes vary depending on your genetic makeup, lifestyle habits. When you are diabetic, you live with a small device (pen drive and biting). It allows measuring the level of sugar in the blood, so-called blood sugar. When this blood glucose exceeds the standard, it means that the body fails to manage its main fuel: sugar. Normally when blood sugar rises, the pancreas releases insulin, a hormone that helps regulate the blood sugar. Diabetes occurs when this regulation is failing. Two scenarios are possible. If insulin is absent, it is called type 1 diabetes. Islet cells of the pancreas that produce insulin are destroyed by the defense system. As a result, sugars are not absorbed by cells and accumulate in the blood. The blood sugar rises. This diabetes reaches most often young people. In the second scenario, the cells in the body are in some sort of resistance to insulin. The body cannot use glucose properly; it is called type 2 diabetes. It appears in adults, often due to an overweight, too greasy and sweet diet, coupled with a sedentary lifestyle. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas is constantly approached. After an extended constant stimulation, it stops producing insulin. Doctors call this stage: insulin-deficient diabetes. Excess blood sugar can be dangerous for many organs. Conversely, diabetics can suffer from hypoglycemia, Which also dangerous. What are the treatments for diabetes? Experts recommend basically following strict dietary rules and taking medication, including insulin injection that enables the patient to regulate its blood sugar levels. One must remember that hyperglycemia is dangerous to arteries: • Heart disease risk increases by fifteen-fold in people with diabetes • 10% of dialysis patients are untreated diabetics • 5000 amputations each year are related to untreated diabetes • Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness in adults These complications develop insidiously in case of diabetes mellitus, while lean diabetes occurs very quickly. As long as there are no complications, diabetics do not feel sick and therefore, have difficulty accepting monitoring and necessary treatment. Even when the disease is at an advanced stage, monitoring blood glucose remains difficult. Insulin pumps The insulin pump offers a real comfort to diabetic patients. For Type 1 diabetics, those whose pancreas no longer makes insulin, improved treatment involves user-friendly insulin pumps. They allow injecting the required amount of insulin all day and night. Incretins: a promising new treatment Incretins are a new family of drugs which arrived around 2007. They are gastrointestinal digestive hormones that indirectly stimulate the production of insulin. There are several classes. Some even have the advantage of losing weight with type 2 diabetes, those whose nutritional problems are important. This is a very useful tool for diabetologists. The negative point is that incretins are very expensive products, around $250 per month. How to learn to live with diabetes? Screening is essential. It is simple and reliable: a blood test is sufficient, it measures blood glucose (sugar levels in the blood) on an empty stomach. Subsequently, the sample must be repeated regularly. Some individuals must, in particular, be screened after age 40 years: People who have Parents with diabetes, hypertension, too much cholesterol or triglycerides, overweight. Women who have given birth to babies weighing more than 4 kg must also be tested. Moreover, due to the "epidemic" of obesity, diabetes affects increasingly young people. Diabetologists call therefore for more tests among juveniles. Childhood obesity rate increased from 3% last forty years to more than 16% in 2004. Regarding genetic factors, we know that when a parent has diabetes, the risk in their descendants is 30%, while it is only 6% in the general population. If both parents are diabetic, this rate rises to 50% and the disease appears earlier, from 30-40 years. As far as the twins are concerned, if one has diabetes, the risk in the other is 90%. For many diabetics, the days are punctuated by bites on fingertips to check their blood sugar in the blood. Often a major constraint for these patients. Today, there are alternatives to measure blood glucose without pricking such as new glucose sensors. Article Source: http://EzineArticles.com/9304923
