2. Introduction
Medical Science has got immense growth in modern world. But still diabetes is treated as a
chronic disease. It is established that diabetes can be controlled, but it prevails in the body till
the death. Diabetes is a metabolic disease due to the level of blood sugar (glucose). In other
words it is the inability of the body to convert glucose in to energy. After the digestion food is
divided in to fats, protein and carbohydrates. These carbohydrates cause the formation of
glucose. Glucose is transferred to blood and it is used as the energy for cells. Patients with
diabetes this process i.e. the conversion of glucose in to energy, doesn't work properly. As a
result the level of glucose in the blood becomes high. This phenomena in the human body is
happens when the insulin secretion comes under defects. Insulin is a hormone which
produced by pancreas that control the glucose level in the human body. In a normal physical
condition when the glucose level bumps up in the body, the pancreas release adequate
insulin to regulate the glucose level. This insulin converts the glucose in to energy for cell and
thus it keeps sugar (glucose) level normally. But in patient with diabetes this type of auto
regulation system doesn't happened. The deficiency of insulin may come as the reason for
hyperglycemia. Excessive thirst, excessive urination, extreme hunger, fatigue are some the
common symptoms of diabetes. Studies reveal that diabetic people are more prone to heart
diseases than other people. That is why people with diabetes need more care in daily life. Let
us discuss the types of diabetes.
4. 1. Type 1 diabetes (insulin-dependent diabetes)
Type 1 diabetes is also known as immune-mediated or juvenile-onset
diabetes. This is purely depending on the production of insulin in the body.
Insulin may be insufficient or defective in patient with Type 1 diabetes. This
types diabetes is most often happens in childhood. Patient who is suffering
from this category must see strict diet and exercise. It is recommended that
patient comes under this group must inject with insulin in the physician.
5. 2. Type 2 diabetes (non-insulin dependent diabetes)
Another name of this category is adult-onset diabetes. 90% of total
diabetes patients come under this type. In this category sufficient
insulin is produced by the pancreas. But the body is fails to use it in
the true sense. Adult people are the victims of the Type 2 diabetes.
The positive thing is that this type can very easily be controlled. The
Patients having Type 2 diabetes has to do stringent diet, strict
exercise and weight control to make upper hand on it.
6. 3. Gestational diabetes mellitus
During the pregnancy Gestational diabetes mellitus is diagnosed through
an oral glucose tolerance test. GDM comes to normal after the delivery
but the mother may face the risk of developing permanent diabetes. The
chance of such case is one in 25 pregnancies world-wide. The chance to
develop obesity and impaired glucose is high.
