I have tried to create awareness about causes, types and symptoms of diabetes. As millions of people are sufferings from this disease, so this article will be helpful to control the sugar level.

1. All About Diabetes-----Symptoms, Causes, Types
While talking about diabetes, you may be frightened from the idea that
you may have it. Or maybe, you may have it in the future. You want to
know if you are at risk to develop diabetes and anxiously you’re looking to
find if you have any diabetes symptom.
Diabetes affects the manner in which the body handles carbohydrates,
fats and proteins. If neglected, diabetes can have serious complications.
The diabetic people have high blood sugar level. The blood sugar level is
regulated by insulin – a hormone produced by the pancreas, which
depends on your eating habits.
Diabetes is a serious disease. But the startling truth is that diabetes is
reversible. Diabetes is the number one cause of chronic kidney disease
(CKD). This disease is a condition where the body is unable to
automatically regulate blood glucose levels, resulting in too much glucose
(a sugar) in the blood. Diabetes is a chronic disease that affects as many
as 16 million Americans.
Symptoms:
Actually, there is no clear symptom for diabetes. The most common
symptoms of diabetes are as follow:
– being all the time thirsty
– frequent urination
– increased hunger
– feeling all the time tired; having an excessive fatigue,

2. On the other hand, there are some other symptoms of diabetes that are
prescribed as diabetes complications in fact. These symptoms are:
– vision changes;
– recurrent skin infections very difficult to heal;
– tingling or numbness you may feel in your extremities;
– gums disorders;
– Hair loss and many others.
Types and causes of diabetes
• Type I Diabetes (juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes):
The reason for type I diabetes is due to pancreas inability to
produce insulin.

3. • Type II Diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes):
This diabetes is a result of body tissues becoming resistant to
insulin. It is usually hereditary.
Type 2 Diabetes is more common than Type 1 Diabetes. Type 2 diabetes
is a life-long disease marked by high levels of sugar in the blood.
Conditions associated with type 2 diabetes include hyperglycemia and
hypoglycemia. Type 2 diabetes may account for about 90% to 95% of all
diagnosed cases of diabetes. Up to two-thirds of people with type 2
diabetes have no symptoms. Obesity is the single most important risk
factor for type 2 diabetes. An estimated 20% of all cases of new onset
type 2 diabetes are in individuals between the ages of 9-19. The more you
know about type 2 diabetes, the more you’ll be able to take the right steps
to take control of your condition.

4. If neglected, diabetes can lead to various complications such as damage
to the kidneys, heart disease, nerve damage, hypoglycemia (drastic
reduction in glucose levels). Diabetes is a serious disease and there is no
treatment of it. However, it can be brought under control by proper diabetic
diet.
