Diabetes mellitus or diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by resistance to insulin action, insulin deficiency or the combination of these two factors together.
The biggest clinical manifestation of this disease is hyperglycemia or increased blood glucose. In addition to the breakdown of glucose metabolism in this disease, the metabolism of proteins and fats also breaks down.
The diagnosis is decided by measuring the plasma glucose level.
Diagnosis is also aided by complaints from people with diabetes such as heavy thirst for water, frequent urination, weight loss, visual disturbance, bone muscle pain, and so on.
Types of diabetes
In general, people with diabetes are involved in two main types of diabetes; Diabetes mellitus, type 1 and type 2 diabetes mellitus. In addition to these types of diabetes there are other forms that are: Gestational diabetes (diabetes occurring during pregnancy) and other specific forms.
In Type 1 diabetics, the disease appears at younger ages and is characterized by the absence or absolute lack of insulin, the Telegraph reports.
In Type 2 diabetes, which is the largest group of patients, the disease appears in the ages of over 35-40 years old and is characterized by the first stages of resistance to insulin action. They have genetic predisposition, meaning people who have close to type 2 diabetes, especially the first generation, have the greatest risk that they develop the same type of diabetes over the course of their life.
Also, this type of diabetes is mainly found in people who are overweight and obese. Both nutrition and lifestyle are among the factors that influence the creation and development of diabetic diseases.
First signs and prevention
Talking about the first signs makes sense mainly for type 2 diabetes. Obese people go to a phase called prediabetes, which precedes the onset of diabetes that may last 5 to 7 years. Interference at this stage, improving lifestyle, or otherwise lifestyle, prevents or impedes the onset of diabetes.
Lack of physical activity, malnutrition, eating high fat foods and simple sugars, large amounts of sugar and alcohol juices, coupled with weight gain and obesity in people with genetic predispositions are elements that can Be corrected at the pre-diabetes stage and improve the progression of the disease when it is displayed.
Some tips for people affected by diabetes
People with diabetes or prediabetes are advised to exercise physical activity through the exercise of various sports. Those who can not exercise sports or old ages are recommended for at least 45 minutes, 3-4 times a week.
Changing the way of eating, limiting foods with high levels of animal fats, high cholesterol content, sugar restriction, are some of the other preventive measures.
We should also consider stimulating the use of greasy vegetables, fruits, 2-3 such a day, and to take care of the use of animal products in limited and fat-free (meat, milk , Etc.).
Alcohol and high-sugar juices should be consumed as rarely.
Sugar is the poison in the modern diet, not just soft drinks and cake but in everything. Bread, Milk, Sweed, Carrots, Potatoes and even prescription drugs. I have found that the Ketogenic diet which cuts out all but a few carbs (20-50g per day) plus lots of leafy veg. like Organic Kale and Cabbage, Apple cider venagar and Omega 3 fatty acids from Fish, Avocados etc. Grass fed meat and butter Plus i have stopped drinking and exercise is becoming easier i feel better than i have in years and ive lost 1.5 Stone in 6 weeks.
