Diabetes - Informational Article - Treatment & Management

By Deborah Marvin

Diabetes mellitus, often referred to simply as diabetes is a syndrome of a disordered metabolism, usually caused by a heredity and environmental issues.

Resulting is abnormally high blood sugar levels, blood sugar levels are controlled by a complex interacting of multiple chemicals and hormones. The hormone insulin made in the cells of the organ (pancreas) is controller of diabetes and helps with the treatment.

Diabetes mellitus refers to a group of different diabetes that all eventually lead to a high blood sugar count. Diabetes is developed when you have a low count of insulin in your body or resistance to its effects. All forms of diabetes have been controllable since insulin was discovered and came available in 1921, there is still no cure for diabetes.

All types of diabetes have been treatable since 1921, since the hormone insulin has been discovered for controlling diabetes. In life, diabetes is the cause for many complications along with the treatments. Complications in the long run are as followed: chronic renal failure, retinal damage (causes blindness), different types of nerve damage, erectile dysfunction, poor wound healing and cardiovascular disease.

The chronic disease diabetes doesn't have a cure. The patient plays the biggest rold in medical treatment for diabetes. You have to watch what you eat and make sure that your glucose levels don't rise above or drop below than what the normal glucose level state is. If this takes place the patient could have a blood sugar attack and if not treated with insulin could die.

Insulin is supplied to those who have attacks, without insulin these people could die from these severe attacks. The main focus of treatment is to keep your blood sugar count to its normal state and not to high or to low. If your blood sugar count drops or rises you can have an attack and at which case the insulin shot is required.

Diabetes effects people all over the world, it has been ruining families and peoples lives. It's something that no one wants to live with, so therefore we as a race must pay attention to our food intake.

They are currently focusing on making a cure for the group of diabetes. There is still no cure for any of the diabetes but they are on the verge of discovering one.
