Diabetes is a disease with a very high population of people in the world. Diabetes is a lifelong disease, it is when the sugar levels in your blood are high. There is two types of diabetes we have type 1 and a type 2. We will be explaining both types and how it can be taken care of, what symptoms diabetes will show, medications, and complications. Also how we can take care of our body if we have family members that live with this disease.
Firstly we will talk about the pathology of type 1 and type 2 so we can have a clear vision of how they both work differently. In our body’s we have two type of cells that are produced in the pancreas they are called alpha cells and beta cells. These cells have two very important jobs. Alpha cells

In type 2 the beta cells are damaged as well but they still release some of the insulin but not a lot of it. Causes can be from a multitude of things but include genetic and other elements. A majority of people suffering from type 2 diabetes are obese, with a large amount of fat in the body.
The next part will be explaining signs and symptoms that diabetes will cause in the body. In type 1 you get signs and symptoms very fast like weight loss(thin) and muscle wasting. The classic symptoms that diabetes is known for are called the 3P’s which are polyuria (excessive urination), polydipsia (thirst), and polyphagia (excessive hunger). Also they can get ketonuria which is ketones (acids) in the urine. Other signs would be for women vaginal yeast infection. Also fatigue, weakness, blurred vision.
Some of the type 2 signs and symptoms are similar with type 1 but I will mention all of the type 2 including the same ones to type 1. Type 2 symptoms develop slower than the type 1 symptoms. Type 2 also has the classic 3Ps which we talked about earlier in type 1 polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia. As well as the 3ps they can get dry mouth because of the polydipsia they are thirsty all the time. Nausea and occasionally vomiting, they may get the fatigue and blurred vision as well for the type 1. Another symptom is tingling of the hands and feet, or frequents
Type 1 is characterized by the body’s inability to produce insulin. It is caused by autoimmune-mediated destruction of pancreatic beta cells, which are responsible for producing insulin. There appears to be a hereditary link in people with Type 1 diabetes. Other factors have been known to cause Type 1 diabetes such as viral infections, toxins, and other environmental factors. Type 1 diabetes is the rare form, affecting about 10% of the diabetes population. Its onset usually occurs in people less than the age of 20.
People with type 2 diabetes make insulin, but their cells don't use it as well as they should. Doctors call this insulin resistance. At first, the pancreas makes more insulin to try to get glucose into the cells. But eventually it can't keep up, and the sugar builds up in your blood instead. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be so mild you don't notice
The symptoms for this diabetes are rapid and extreme. A person will have extreme hunger, fatigue, thirst, frequent urination, weight loss and blurred vision. If no medical intervention is provided the person can go into a diabetic coma. Type 1 diabetes can be a life-threatening condition and is very serious if it is not diagnosed and treated quickly.
Type 1 and type 2 diabetes are different disorders with different causes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. The immune system destroys the insulin producing cells, also known as beta cells, in the pancreas. Type 1 is also known to appear shortly after a viral infection. The
Do you know what it feels like to be a diabetic? If not you will learn because i will be telling you all about including the causes symptoms and what it is in general.Diabetes is when a hormone called insulin in the pancreas either completely stops working or barely works and you need to do it manually either by needles or something called a pump.Diabetes can affect your life but it is not a bad thing,diabetes causes you to manually put insulin in,the feelings or symptoms of diabetes can be different for different people,a lot of people play sports with diabetes.
The signs of diabetes differ from the symptoms because signs are indicators of a problem, while symptoms can only be describing by what a person feels. I want to focus on type 1 and type 2 diabetes because it has been very common on my father’s side of the family. According to the International Diabetes Federation, some warning signs for type 1 & 2 diabetes are frequent urination, weight loss, lack of energy, and excessive thirst. But, there are also more signs that consist of blurred vision, numbness, and increased of hunger. At the same time, these signs can be absent or show just a little in some people.
Diabetes, often known as Diabetes mellitus, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has a high blood glucose or blood sugar. This can be caused by inadequate production of insulin or the body doesn 't respond to proper amounts of insulin. Some patients can have both things to happen to cause the disease. Many people think Diabetes comes from the foods you eat and the drinks you drink, that isn 't true. Diabetes is hereditary, its comes from your family traits, you are born with it and
The disease type one diabetes happens when the human immune system destroys the beta cells that are in our pancreas. The beta cells are responsible for making the insulin in our pancreas. Insulin is a hormone in our body that works like a key does in a door. Insulin unlocks our cells to let sugar into our cells from our blood stream. Our body then can utilize the sugar for energy. People that have the disease type one diabetes have very little insulin because their beta cells in their pancreas have been destroyed. People that have the disease type one diabetes have high levels of sugar in their blood because the sugar cannot get into their cells.
Type-two diabetes is a lifelong disease that affects the way the body manages the sugar levels in the body known as blood glucose. The most common form of diabetes is type-two diabetes. Many factors, some by choice and others by genetics, contribute to a person developing this type-two diabetes. This disease has serious complications but can be controlled by careful maintenance and a well-planned lifestyle.
Diabetes Today i will talk about diabetes and the different types of diabetes. Diabetes is a group of diseases that result in too much sugar in the blood or high blood glucose .Type one diabetes is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces a little or no insulin . Type two diabetes is a condition that affects the way a person body processes blood sugar. What is type 1 diabetes you ask, Type one diabetes is a disease in which a person’s pancreas stops producing insulin a hormone that lets people get energy from there food.
There are two types of diabetes, diabetes type 1 and diabetes type 2. Diabetes type 1 is a genetic disease where the pancreas does not produce insulin. Because the pancreas cannot produce insulin, glucose (sugar) cannot power the cells, since it needs the hormone insulin to do so (Boaz 2002). The high glucose in the blood can lead to
In fact type two and three effect the brain and spinal cord becoming very serious.
Type 1: In type 1 diabetes the cells that produce insulin in the pancreas are destroyed and cannot be made, this type of diabetes usually occurs in childhood due to the autoimmune system attacking and destroying its own cells that produce the insulin, the beta cells in the islet of Langerhans are destroyed and thus unable to produce insulin. This type of diabetes in incurable and is treated with insulin injections.
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, Diabetes is a chronic condition marked by abnormally high levels of glucose in the blood. Diabetes is often managed with insulin, a hormone that is needed to convert sugar, starches, and other food into energy needed for daily life. People with diabetes either do not produce enough insulin or cannot use the insulin that their body produces. According to the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases, diabetes affects 25.8 million Americans. While an estimated 18.8 million have been diagnosed with diabetes, unfortunately nearly 7 million people are unaware that they are living with diabetes.
Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar)1 . In 2011 The American Diabetes Association repoted a 25.8 million people in America living with diabetes 2. Diabetes is a illness that can be caused by the body not being able to produce enough insulin and or cells in the body not responding adequately to the insulin provided. Insulin which is produced by the pancrease, regulates the amount of glucose (which provieds energy to all cells) in the blood.
