The following article on diabetes is appropriate for all, no matter what age.

Diabetes is a serious disease. But the startling truth is that diabetes is reversible. Diabetes is the number one cause of chronic kidney disease (CKD). This disease is a condition where the body is unable to automatically regulate blood glucose levels, resulting in too much glucose (a sugar) in the blood. Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects as many as 16 million Americans.

Diabetes is divided into two major groups. Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common childhood diseases. Type 1 Diabetes is called Juvenile Diabetes as the onset of it begins in childhood. Type 2 diabetes is most common form of diabetes, accounting for 90% of cases. They concluded that most cases of type 2 diabetes is preventable by choosing a healthier lifestyle. The problem, in a nutshell, is that type 2 diabetes is not a simple disease caused by a single gene. The best way to control type 2 diabetes is with diet and exercise.

There has been a great deal of buzz about stem cell research and diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes is more common than Type 1 Diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is a life-long disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood. Conditions associated with type 2 diabetes include hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia. Type 2 diabetes may account for about 90% to 95% of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. Up to two-thirds of people with type 2 diabetes have no symptoms. Obesity is the single most important risk factor for type 2 diabetes. An estimated 20% of all cases of new onset type 2 diabetes are in individuals between the ages of 9-19. The more you know about type 2 diabetes, the more you'll be able to take the right steps to take control of your condition.

What is the relationship between insulin resistance and diabetes. Insulin resistance can occur long before the onset of type 2 diabetes. Insulin resistance is an important marker of diabetes risk. You can counter insulin resistance through modest weight loss and exercise. It is now generally accepted that insulin resistance and ß-cell dysfunction are major factors involved in the development of diabetes. Some scientists think a defect in specific genes may cause insulin resistance and type 2 diabetes.

Diabetes is a serious disease. Diabetes is the leading cause of blindness, renal failure, and amputation in the United States. Diabetes is divided into two major groups. Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common childhood diseases. Type 2 diabetes is most common form of diabetes, accounting for 90% of cases. Diabetes is a growing global problem of devastating social and economic impact. But the startling truth is that diabetes is reversible. The first step in managing diabetes is to commit yourself to the care of a health professional.

What Are 3 Common Types Of Diabetes Mellitus by Dr. Armughan Riaz

what are types of Diabetes Mellitus. Diabetes is classified into 3 types. 1-Type 1 Diabetes 2-Type 2 Diabetes 3-Gestational Diabetes

Here we will discuss one by one all three types of diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes: Type 1 diabetes is also called Juvenile Diabetes, Insulin dependent diabetes or Autoimmune Diabetes. Person with type 1 diabetes has immune response against his own beta cells of pancreas, so pancreas is unable to produce insulin at-all. That is why it is called as autoimmune diabetes. Juvenile diabetes usually occurs in children but can appear at any age. To live normal life patient has to take insulin and take regular exercise and has proper diet plan. The main cause of this type 1 diabetes are environmental factors like virus, diet or chemicals in people genetically predisposed. In USA 10-15% diagnosed cases of diabetes mellitus comprises of type 1 diabetes. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes are increase urination, increase thirst, increase hunger and weight loss. Eyes may also be affected as blurred vision. The person with type 1 diabetes should be diagnosed earlier, otherwise it can lead to a medical emergency situation like diabetic Coma with kitoacidosis.

Type 2 Diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes is also called as Non Insulin dependent diabetes Mellitus or Adult-onset diabetes. This is most common type of diabetes affecting nearly 80% of all cases of diabetes. It is usually seen in adults. There are two mechanisms of type 2 diabetes. Either there is deficiency of insulin, or there is increase resistance of insulin. Insulin resistance means that body is unable to use available insulin. The main cause of this type of diabetes is genetic however other factors like overweight, obesity, high blood pressure, lack of exercise, overeating habits may also affect. About 80% of people with type 2 diabetes are overweight. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes in-contrast to type 1 develop very slowly. There may be fatigue, weight loss, increase urination, blurred vision or delay wound healing.T his type of diabetes is treated with exercise, diet control, tablets. However later, you may need insulin injections as well.

Gestational Diabetes: Some women who develop diabetes during later stages of pregnancy is called as Gestational diabetes. Though their glucose levels returns to normal but even then they have greater chances of developing diabetes mellitus within next 5 to 10 years. Women with gestational diabetes may have no symptoms at all. The cause of gestational diabetes is hormonal imbalance during pregnancy or insufficient Insulin.

Diabetes: just a word

Hi, most likely you would have heard of diabetes. Yes it is a disease. Like all diseases, it will result in complications if it is not well managed.

Why am I talking about diabetes? Simply for the fact that I was diagnosed with it in 2008 July. After one year of living with diabetes, and trying to find out as much as possible about the disease, I realized that information on diabetes does not really cater to those who are newly diagnosed with diabetes. Also, almost everyone have heard of this disease but their knowledge of diabetes is not good enough to help those who are suffering from diabetes. Same goes for those who are diagnosed with this disease.

Lots of information on diabetes can be found on the internet. From my experience, these information are either not suitable for the layperson because of the clinical terms used while some of the information are nothing more than just bits and pieces without much evidence to back it up.

The purpose for starting this blog is to provide a one-stop shop for credible diabetes information as well as providing the links to those products that will help a diabetic person to better manage his or her condition. Gaining the necessary knowledge is just the first step to managing diabetes. So learn more about diabetes to be better informed.

Aim at the layperson, the information found here can be used by those suffering from diabetes as well as those who wants to help their diabetic relations and friends to become better informed in order to manage diabetes. I shall be posting more articles that I come across as well as useful tips that I used myself to better manage diabetes. So be on the lookout for these articles as I scour the internet for you.

Not only will I post articles / contents of diabetes that I have come across, I shall also highlight those products that will help in the management of diabetes. Especially for those newly diagnosed with diabetes, my suggestion is to lookout for supplements that will help you to better control your diabetes. Of course, do not stop taking your diabetic medication. The supplement will aid in better management of the disease. I know because I do take a few supplements, and it really does help a lot. You will be surprised as I continue to write more in my blog about diabetes as I will show you some evidence how taking supplement had helped me in my diabetes management.

To better diabetes management.
