Diabetes - The Three Types

Diabetes happens for the inability of the body to produce/or respond to insulin stimulation. Normally your body produces insulin and it is like giving your system a hormone energy injection. when you have diabetes and you eat sugar your body does not have the ability to rise your insulin by itself; hence the more sugar you eat the more your body can’t react to it, specially refined sugars. That is why is very important to check your sugar lever in your body frequently before your body collapse.

There are three different type of diabetes:

Type 1 Diabetes - Diabetes type 1 is an auto-immune disease early known as insulin dependent diabetes. It happens when the beta cells that manufacture insulin in the pancreas are destroyed by the immune system in the body. Just 10%, or even less, of patients with diabetes has this type of the disease.

Adults in their late thirties or early forties will begin to experience the warning symptoms of Diabetes Type 1. Diabetes may be started to a person at any age, there is no a specific time. A proper diet, insulin shots, and exercise are the best way to cope with this disease. Even though it might show at any age, this type of diabetes is very common in children and teenagers.

Type 2 Diabetes - Ninety percent of the diabetes cases all around the world are type 2, which is the non-insulin dependent diabetes. Relative insulin decay and insulin resistance are some of the most common characteristics.

Long before the outward symptoms start to occur, significant damages are already caused internally and silently. Medical treatment, exercise and insulin shots are required for this. Diabetes type 2 develops commonly during adulthood, but many children in high risk ethnic groups are contracting it.

Gestational Diabetes - There is another type of diabetes called Gestational Diabetes, it develops during pregnancy temporarily. There is no really an explanation why Gestational Diabetes occurs but some suggests that is because the placenta releases hormones that are insulin blockers during the 2nd and 3rd trimester to ensure that the baby gets enough sugar while is growing. Pregnant women’s blood sugar rises so they need to produce extra insulin in order to break that sugar down, and those who cannot do it develops this of Diabetes.
