I have diabetes...what now?
Diabetes: A disease of the
body’s metabolism that affects (increases) the body’s use of sugar.
Metabolism: A set of chemical reactions within our bodies that creates
the energy that runs our bodies.
Signs and Symptoms: Hunger, Excessive Thirst, Frequent
urination, Fatigue, Irritability, Blurred vision, Slow healing of wounds & infection. Weight loss usually occurs with Type 1 Diabetes.
Insulin
resistance (IR): A
condition, usually hereditary, where the body's cells become resistant to the
effects of insulin, requiring increasingly greater amounts to overcome the
resistance. In response, the pancreas raises its production of insulin to meet
the requirements caused by the resistance. Eventually the pancreas becomes
depleted and is no longer able to provide the large quantities of insulin needed. With inadequate insulin, the blood sugar
rises causing pre-diabetes and eventually Type 2 diabetes.
In Pre-diabetes, blood glucose &/or A1C levels are higher than normal, but not
high enough for a diagnosis of diabetes.
This is caused by insulin resistance described above. Since the pancreas
cannot produce enough insulin to meet the body’s needs, blood glucose levels
rise above the normal range. Usually
persons with pre-diabetes have no symptoms, but are at risk for the same
complications as a person with diabetes.
Weight loss and increased physical activity improve
blood sugar values and may prevent or
delay the onset of Type 2 Diabetes.
Uncontrolled Diabetes causes complications that may be
disabling or life threatening. Some complications are Heart attacks, Strokes, Peripheral Artery disease (PAD), Kidney
Failure, Blindness, & Nerve damage.
