Diabetes

Diabetes is an excess of sugar in the blood. It occurs when the pancreas does not produce the hormone insulin or does so insufficiently

Without insulin or lack of it, the blood sugar rises causing frequent urination, constant thirst, weakness, fatigue, and cardiovascular and renal damage.

There are two main types of diabetes. The more serious but less common is the type I, which affects children and sometimes young adults. In these cases, affected people must inject insulin because their pancreas does not produce it.

Type II diabetes usually occurs after age forty. People affected by this form of the disease typically have too much insulin, but it fails in its function because the cells are resistant to it. It is known also as non-insulin dependent diabetes and accounts for 90% of cases

If a person wants to determine their levels of blood glucose should be performed two tests: One in fasting and another two hours after a meal. In fasting normal sugar content should be of 80-120 mg per 100 ml of blood. Two hours after the meal, should be 160 mg per 100 ml of blood Any result greater than this requires immediate medical examination.
