Type nn2 diabetes refers to the insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. This is a chronic condition when the pancreas is unable to produce any insulin. Insulin is an important hormone which lets the sugar or glucose enters blood cells to produce energy. This type of diabetes is caused due to various reasons including some viruses and genetics. There is Type nn2 diabetes treatment but no cure as of now.
Symptoms:
The symptoms and signs of nn2 diabetes can appear suddenly and include:
Blurred vision
Fatigue and weakness
Irritability and other mood changes
Unintended weight loss
Extreme hunger
Bed-wetting in children
Frequent urination
Increased thirst
When to Consult a Doctor?
Get in touch with your doctor when you see any or some of the symptoms mentioned above. The sooner it is diagnosed, the quicker type nn2 diabetes treatments can be started.
Risk Factors:
Some of the risk factors for Type nn2 diabetes are:
Family History: Anyone whose parent(s) or sibling(s) have this diabetes is at risk of developing this condition.
Genetics: The presence of some genes increases the risk of nn2 diabetes in people.
Geography: The risk increases as you move away from the equator.
Complications
Treatment type nn2 diabetes mellitus is important because it starts to affect other organs of the body as well in the course of time. Diabetes complications can be disabling or life-threatening as well. Type nn2 diabetes leads to:
Disease of the heart and blood vessels
Nerve damage or neuropathy
Kidney damage or nephropathy
Eye damage
Foot damage
Skin and mouth conditions
Pregnancy complications
Medications
Short-acting insulin
regular insulin (Humulin and Novolin)
Rapid-acting insulins
insulin aspart (NovoLog, FlexPen)
insulin lispro (Humalog)
insulin glulisine (Apidra)
Intermediate-acting insulin
insulin isophane (Humulin N, Novolin N)
Long-acting insulins
insulin degludec (Tresiba)
insulin glargine (Toujeo)
insulin glargine (Lantus)
insulin detemir (Levemir)
Combination insulins
NovoLog Mix 70/30 (insulin aspart protamine-insulin aspart)
Humulin 70/30 (human insulin NPH-human insulin regular)
Ryzodeg (insulin degludec-insulin aspart)
Novolin 70/30 (human insulin NPH-human insulin regular)
Humalog Mix 50/50 (insulin lispro protamine-insulin lispro)
Humalog Mix 75/25 (insulin lispro protamine-insulin lispro)
Causes:
The exact cause is unknown. It is normally the body’s own immune system which starts to destroy the cells producing insulin instead of fighting harmful viruses and bacteria. Other causes include genetics, exposure to certain viruses and contact with other environmental factors.
