what is diabetes?

Answer 1

It is a disease where the body doesn't handle the processing of glucose normally. Either the body doesn't make enough insulin to aid in processing glucose or the body is resistant to the insulin it makes or that is injected. A type 1 diabetic makes little or no insulin whatsoever. A type 2 diabetic is either where there body doesn't make enough insulin or they are insulin resistant. Insulin resistance makes up a good portion of type 2 diabetics. In my opinion this type of diabetes which I have should be in its own category.

Answer 2

Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which the body does not produce enough insulin or the insulin that is produced is ineffective. Insulin is produced and secreted by the pancreas and is needed for the proper storage and utilization of nutrients (glucose, proteins, and fat) by the cells of the body. Insulin allows nutrients to enter the cells of the body. For example, insulin allows cells to remove glucose from the blood, and the glucose is used to generate the energy that is necessary to fuel the activities of the cells. When insulin is absent or ineffective and the cells receive inadequate amounts of glucose, the body releases more glucose into the blood in an attempt to overcome the block to glucose entering the cells. The additional glucose cannot penetrate the cells, of course, and the glucose levels in the blood rise. High levels of blood glucose is what causes the symptoms and signs of diabetes.

Answer 3

Many common natural remedies are claimed to have blood sugar lowering properties that make them useful for people with or at high risk of diabetes. Learn here https://tr.im/p8wa2

A number of clinical studies have been carried out in recent years that show potential links between herbal therapies and improved blood glucose control, which has led to an increase in people with diabetes using these more 'natural' ingredients to help manage their condition.

Answer 4

Diabetes is a condition in which, either due to low insulin production or resistance to the effects of insulin (or both) the body is unable to regulate blood glucose levels properly. The main problem caused by this is an elevated glucose level in the blood, which, over time, is a risk factor for heart disease, peripheral vascular disease, nerve damage, vision loss (up to blindness), renal failure, and many other complications.
The chance of developing any of these complications can be reduced (and the amount of time required can be lengthened) by good control of serum glucose by diet, exercise, and appropriate medication.

Answer 5

The word 'diabetes ' itself was coined by Aretaeus of Capadokia, a Turkish physician, in AD20, and comes from the Greek word diabaino which means 'to pass through' or 'to siphon'.

Answer 6

it's when the body cannot regulate sugar in the blood either because the body cannot use the insulin it produces properly or that it does not produce enough of it

Answer 7

when the pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to help the body break down sugar
