What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a disorder characterized by
hyperglycemia or elevated blood glucose
(blood sugar). Our bodies function best at a
certain level of sugar in the bloodstream. If the
amount of sugar in our blood runs too high or
too low, then we typically feel bad. Diabetes is
the name of the condition where the blood
sugar level consistently runs too high. It is the
most common endocrine disorder. African
Americans, Hispanics and Native Americans
have a higher rate of developing diabetes
during their lifetime. Diabetes has potential
long term complications that can affect the
kidneys, eyes, heart, blood vessels and nerves.
Diabetes is divided into two major subgroups:
Type 1 diabetes - much less common than
Type 2 Diabetes and typically affects younger
individuals. Type 1 usually begins before age
40 although there are exceptions. It is
associated with a deficiency (or lack) of
insulin. Without sufficient insulin, the blood
glucose rises to levels which can cause some
of the common symptoms of hyperglycemia.
Type 1 Diabetes Symptoms
The symptoms of Type I diabetes often come
on suddenly and very severely. They include:
- being exceptionally thirsty
- dry mouth
- the need to urinate often
- weight loss (even though you may be
hungry and eating well) - feeling weak and tired
- blurry vision
Type 2 diabetes - This type of diabetes is also
called adult onset or non-insulin dependent
diabetes. The symtoms are often subtle and
may be attributed to aging or obesity. Nearly 6
million people in the US have it and are not
aware of it. In Type II Diabetes, the body
produces insulin, but it is either not enough or
the body's cells have become insulin resistant.
In other words, the body does not use the
insulin that is being produced. People with
type 2 diabetes can develop hyperglycemic
hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome. It can be
precipitated by steroids and stress. Type 2
should not be treated lightly... If not properly
treated, type 2 diabetes can lead to
complications like:
- blindness
- kidney failure
- heart disease
- nerve damage
Type 2 Diabetes Symptoms
Sometimes, people with Type II diabetes don't
notice any symptoms or the symptoms are
experienced gradually. They include:
- blurry vision
- cuts or sores that are slow to heal
- itchy skin, yeast infections
- increased thirst
- dry mouth
- need to urinate often
- leg pain
