What’s the actual cause of diabetes?

Diabetes is a disease typified by high levels of blood sugar. In manner of context, it is caused by the deregulation of insulin in the body. Insulin, a hormone produced by pancreas, influences the rate at which sugar is removed from blood, by helping cells to break down glucose.

To prevent diabetes in the first place or treat it if one already has diabetes, it is essential to equip oneself with the medical facts and information.

There are two types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2. In both, early recognition and early action will decrease the chances of developing serious health problems.

Type 1 Diabetes

This was previously known as juvenile diabetes or insulin dependent diabetes mellitus. Type 1 diabetes establishes quickly and symptoms are very evident.

What are the Risk factors of Type 1 diabetes?

- The factors that trigger Type 1 diabetes include genetic factors, autoimmune, and environmental causes. The exact starting point of this form of diabetes is still unidentified but it is believed that this is set off by a virus or an allergen which encourages the immune system of the baby, kid or young adult to attack the beta cells in the pancreas.

Type 1 diabetes signs are the condition to be fatigue, recurring urination, thirst, weight loss, sweet smelling breath and difficulty in breathing.

If type 1 diabetes is not diagnosed at the earliest and is left untreated, this will lead to labored breathing, coma, and eventually death.
