What do you understand by the term diabetes?

Yes I can easily understand the term diabetes because I know very well about. The diabetes is a very dangerous disease which found in humans and in this disease our pancreas can't produce enough insulin to dissolve the glucose found in our diet. When our pancreas fails to produce insulin which results in increase in the amount of blood sugar level in our body which is called diabetes. It is a very fatal disease which can create a lot of complications for us.

Even in most of the case the uncontrolled blood sugar level make the lives of people miserable. Yes I have seen a lot of people around who were the diabetic patients and then died later. One of them was my grandfather and the second one was my uncle. They both had diabetes due to which their kidneys failed at the end and they died. There are three types of diabetes type-1, type-2 and gestational diabetes.

Share the cause of diabetes

Yes there are many factors which can contribute to the cause of diabetes in humans. These are including the lifestyle, environmental factors, genetics, obesity and depression as well. In most of the cases the people who are obese and remain in depression may get prone to diabetes at any part of their ages. Besides this all three types of diabetes caused by the different factors. Let's have a look at them.

1. Type-1 Diabetes;

• The type-1 Diabetes is caused by the defective immune system and in this type the immune system starts attacking the insulin producing beta cells in pancreas which resists their functions and results in type-1 Diabetes. It may caused by the viral infections and due to other factors.

2. Type-2 Diabetes;

• It is the most common type of diabetes because in it the pancreas simply fails to produce insulin in human bodies. It may caused due to obesity, depression, unhealthy diet, stress and other things. That type of diabetic patients insert artificial insulin in their bodies to improve insulin levels.

3. Gestational Diabetes:

• It is the type of diabetes which occurs due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. It may be transferred to the new born infants and affect the health of mother too. Mostly the woman who has a history of diabetic patients in their families are at a high risk of getting gestational diabetes.

How can we prevent us from all these issues?

The severeness diabetes solely depends on our lifestyle. Yes if we don't take care of ourselves with having diabetes we may fall ill after a shorter interval of time. Also the people whom blood sugar level remain uncontrolled, it may create serious health issues for them including the organ damage, kidney problems wounds and other problems as well. So a according to me by following these steps we can prevent ourselves from all these issues related to our health during diabetes.

• First of all drink a plenty of water, stay hydrated all the time and avoid too much sweets.

• Monitor your blood sugar level after the shorter interval of time and follow the instructions of your physician.

• Maintain a healthy life style, go for a walk daily and actively take a part in sports activities.

• Try to maintain your weight and when you are getting over weight then try to balance it.

• Try to maintain a healthy diet add vitamins, nuts and fruits in your diet. Avoid fast foods.

• Maintain your sleep cycle and sleep at least 8 hours in a day.

You can give suggestions to improve healthcare of diabetic patients

Yes indeed there are a lot of things which I would like to suggest to the diabetic patients. In this regard the one thing I want to tell you that the diabetes is that kind a disease whose cure is still no invented. So currently we can say that the avoidance is the only cure of diabetes. Avoidance from such things which aren't suitable for us i.e which can create problems for us after their intake. These may be the things which contains too much salts and too much sweetness. Because their intake may increase your blood sugar level and your blood pressure as well.

Secondly, the families who have a strong history of diabetic patients, they should avoid cousins marriages. This is because by doing so the diabetes can be transferred by genes from generation to generation and affect the whole family. I guessed that the same thing is happening in my family as many people are suffering from diabetes when they passed the 35+ age. Currently two of my uncles, one aunt and their daughter is suffering from diabetes.

So friends that was my entry about that topic and I hope you will enjoy reading it. Now it is a time to say goodbye to everyone and I want to invite my friends @sahmie, @mubashara, @nooruleman and @mesola to take a part in this amazing contest.
