Contest: Let's talk about diabetes.
Greeting my friends of Healthy Steem community.I am here to particaipate in the most respected @oneray who give us the great opportunity to talk and give our viwes about the given topic which is Let's talk about diabetes.
DIABETES
1) What is diabetes, how many types are there, and how do they affect the body?
Answer:
Diabetes is a condition where the body has a difficulty regulating blood sugar and glucose. There are primarily two types: Type 1 and the other is Type 2.
Type 1 diabetes can occurs when the immune system is attacks and it destroys insulin producing cells in the pancreas that resulting in the insufficient insulin production. Type 2 diabetes can develops when the body becomes an resistant to the insulin and when the pancreas does not produce to enough insulin.
Both the types lead to high blood sugar levels which if not managed it properly can cause a serious complications such as the heart disease or kidney damage, nerve damage and vision problems. Proper management are includes regular monitoring of the blood sugar levels or maintaining a healthy diet or staying physically active and in some cases when taking medications and insulin to help control blood sugar levels effectively.
2) How does diabetes originate?
Answer:
Diabetes originates from the issues with insulin a hormone crucial for regulating the blood sugar levels. In Type 1 diabetes the immune system mistakenly attacks and they destroys insulin producing cells in the pancreas that leading to a lack of insulin production. This results in the high blood sugar levels because of glucose can not enter cells to provide energy.
Type 2 diabetes are typically develops due to insulin resistance where the bodies cells do not respond effectively to the insulin and due to inadequate insulin production by the pancreas. Factors contributing to the Type 2 diabetes include genetics or being overweight, lack of physical activity and the poor diet choices.
Gestational diabetes can also occur in during the pregnancy when the insulin production becomes inadequate to meet increased needs. Proper management of the diabetes can involves lifestyle changes or medication and insulin therapy to control the blood sugar levels and it prevent to complications such as the heart disease or kidney problems and the nerve damage.
3) What are the habits that would prevent diabetes?
Answer:
Preventing the diabetes that involves adopting a range of the healthy habits that promote overall well being. Maintaining a healthy weight through a balanced diet and the regular physical activity is crucial as an excess of weight increases in the risk of Type 2 diabetes. A diet rich in fruits or vegetables, the whole grains and lean proteins while the limiting sugary foods and refined the carbohydrates helps to control blood sugar levels. Staying active not only helps to manage the weight but also can improves insulin sensitivity that allowing the cells to use glucose more effectively. Monitoring the blood sugar levels through the regular check ups can detect any early signs of the diabetes and pre diabetes. Avoiding smoking and limiting alcohol to intake are also important as they contribute to diabetes related complications. Additionally managing the stress through relaxation techniques can help to regulate blood sugar levels. By incorporating these habits into a daily life individuals can significantly reduce their risk of developing diabetes and the promote their overall health and well being.
4) Is diabetes reversible? Explain your reasons.
Answer:
Type 1 diabetes caused by the immune system that attacking insulin producing cells is not reversible. Type 2 diabetes however it can sometimes be reversed and managed through lifestyle changes like weight loss or healthy diet and regular exercise. These measures can be improve the insulin sensitivity and blood sugar control. Early intervention is the key while some individuals can may achieve remission the long term management is often necessary to prevent the recurrence and to reduce the risk of complications.
