first of all, DIABETICS are people who have DIABETES. diabetes is an illness in which your pancreas (which produces insulin) can either no longer produce insulin or only produces a little bit. insulin turns the sugar you intake into energy. diabetes can be hereditary or just high glucose levels or pancreas failure. currently the is no cure for diabetes and if it isn't cared for properly can cause blindness, deafness, etc etc, or even death. there are two main types of diabetes. type 2 in the kind in which usually overweight or obese people get. type 1 (sometimes referred to as juvenile diabetes) is usually gotten when you are younger but that has changed over the years. you can also get diabetes during pregnacy but it usually goes away afterwards. i hoped this has answered your question.

Diabetes is a condition of the pancreas caused by the lack of production of hormone, Insulin.

Signs and Symptoms of Diabetes:

• Increased thirst
• Going to the loo (for a wee) all the time – especially at night
• Extreme tiredness
• Weight loss
• Blurred vision
• Genital itching or regular episodes of thrush
• Slow healing of wounds
• Nausea
• Dizzyness
• Funny taste in your mouth, that is described as smelling like pear drops
• Lack of concentration
• A big change in appetite

In Type 1 diabetes the signs and symptoms will usually be very obvious, developing quickly, usually over a few weeks.

In people with Type 2 diabetes the signs and symptoms will not be so obvious or even non-existent in people with Type 2 diabetes. If you’re older you may put the symptoms down to ‘getting on a bit’. Taking early action is key so if any of the symptoms apply to you, ask your GP for a diabetes test.

In both types of diabetes, the symptoms are quickly relieved once the diabetes is treated. Early treatment will also reduce the chances of developing serious health problems.

Treatment for diabetes depends on the type of diabetes you have. With type 2, it can be controlled with tablets (such as Metformin) or diet alone. However, type 1 diabetes can only be treated with insulin injections.

Keep yourself healthy, exercise regularly and make sure your heart is in good condition. If you have any concerns - go and see your GP. It is genetic and the more you ignore it, the worse it will be.



Take care

Diabetes mellitus has two types. Type I (formerly known as juvenile diabetes) is due to an autoimmune attack on the beta cells in the pancrease that secrete insulin. This keeps your body from regulating blood glucose levels. Treatment is usually with insulin injections. Type II diabetes is caused by a decreased sensitivity to insulin, thought to be a downreguation of the insulin receptors on the muscle and liver cells. There are some medications to treat this but is often controlled with just a special diet.

Diabetics refers to a complicated and deadly disease called diabetes. Diabetes is often diagnosed when blood sugars are tested and found to be elevated or decreased. Normal Blood surgars are often in the 100- 118 range. Diabetes is caused by your pancreas secreting to much of or not enough of your bodies natural insulin. Check with your endocrinologist if you are in question.
