Diabetes? A rising global burden

Can you prevent and treat diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus (DM) discovered as early as 700–200 BC, is the most common endocrine chronic disorder caused by inherited and/or acquired deficiency in production of insulin by the pancreas, or by the ineffectiveness of the insulin produced.

Diabetes is a major leading cause of death in the world. Diabetes affects a large population in the world including India and it is growing phenomenally.

Most people with diabetes have health problems such as high blood pressure and cholesterol that increase one's risk of heart disease and stroke. In fact 65% of diabetics die from it.

Diabetes occurs either when the pancreas stops producing insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin it produces. Both result in glucose, the body's fuel, not being absorbed by the cells. Insulin is needed to be present and working for this absorption to occur.

In India, the prevalence of diabetes in adults was estimated to be 31.2 million in 2000 and is projected to rise to 79.4 million by 2030. No wonder India is the diabetic capital of the world. (WHO)
Most notably, diabetes deaths are projected to increase by over 80% in upper-middle income countries between 2006 and 2015. In 2005, an estimated 1.1 million people died from diabetes. Almost 80% of diabetes deaths occur in low and middle-income countries.  Almost half of diabetes deaths occur in people under the age of 70 years; 55% of diabetes deaths are in women (WHO Fact Sheet No. 312, 2006).

• Being very thirsty

• There are two types of Diabetes:

Type 1 is insulin dependent and diabetics must inject themselves with insulin daily to control blood sugar levels. Type 1's pancreas is not producing insulin or producing insufficient insulin, the result of which is the body is unable to process glucose (sugar). This causes a high level of glucose in the blood, and low absorption of the vital energy-producing glucose by the tissues.
Though this form of diabetes accounts for 5 to 10% of all cases, the incidence is rapidly increasing in specific regions. People with IDDM must take daily insulin injections to keep healthy.
Blood sugar levels can swing wildly between Hyperglycaemia and Hypoglycaemia.
a) Hyperglycaemia - when there is an abnormally large amount of sugar in the blood
b) Hypoglycaemia - when there is an abnormally small amount of sugar in the blood.
Type 1 usually first appears under the age of 35, particularly in adolescents and develops rapidly.

Cause of type 1diabetes
The cause is complex and unclear, but may involve genetics, viruses, diet, chemicals and environmental factors. Type 1 diabetes was once called juvenile diabetes because it is usually diagnosed in childhood or early adulthood.

Type 2diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes, is the most common form. People can develop Type 2 at any age and is where the pancreas does not make enough insulin and the body does not use it properly due to insulin resistance.
This type of disease accounts for 90 to 95% of all diabetic patients. Treatment of Type 2 diabetes is complicated by several factors inherent to the disease process, typically, insulin resistance, hyperinsulinemia, impaired insulin secretion, reduced insulin-mediated glucose uptake and utilization

Cause of type 2 diabetes
The exact cause of type 2 diabetes is unknown. However, it is associated with certain factors, including obesity, lack of exercise, age, a family history of diabetes, ethnicity and a history of gestational diabetes.

Complications from diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, nerve damage, and limb amputations. Current medications can have serious side-effects including nausea, diarrhea, skin rash, respiratory infections, liver damage, hypertension, neuropathy and headaches.
