Diabetes is a condition where the body, or to be precise the pancreas, loses its ability to create insulin, the chemical necessary to regulate blood sugar levels. As we take in food, a substance called glucose enters through the bloodstream, and it is insulin's role to make doomed that that glucose is carried to different parts of the body, in turn fuels us with the energy we need. Diabetes is often thoughtful as a incommunicative disease, much same cancer and nearly five out of ten people are unaware that they have diabetes. So how did we get such a disease? A celebrated fact about diabetes is that it can be hereditary, especially if a family member has a history of diabetes. Obesity is also one of the most usual factors, leading to the lack of exercise and higher blood pressure levels. US studies have shown that diabetes can also develop when a mother gives birth to a child who weighs more than 9 pounds.

Diabetes mellitus is a condition subsequent from the pancreas’ inability to produce enough insulin, which is needed by the body to help create energy. A deficiency of or ineffectiveness of insulin leads to high glucose levels in the blood, thus, leading to this illness. Diabetes has two types. Type 1 Diabetes usually occurs in young people and requires frequent insulin injections, while Type 2 Diabetes is experienced by old people and is not as interdependent on insulin. Majority of those who have Type 2 Diabetes have been found to be either obese or overweight. Diabetes usually runs in the family, so it’s best to know early on if you have it. The common symptoms experienced by someone who has diabetes include unusually common urination and hunger, constant thirst, fast weight loss, tiredness, numbness in the feet and hands, recurrent skin infections, itching in offstage parts and indistinct vision. When left-handed unattended, diabetes could escalate to hyperglycemia, which develops from an excess of glucose in the blood, and leave the person temporarily unconscious, or, worse, cause severe infections, poor healing abilities, heart ailments and numbness from nerve damage.
