Diabetes is a serious global health issue that can lead to blindness, kidney failure, heart disease, stroke, and amputations. The document discusses that healthy diet and exercise could prevent up to 80% of type 2 diabetes cases, yet at least 50% of people with diabetes are unaware they have the condition. It also notes that every 10 seconds someone dies from diabetes or related causes. The UN designated November 14 as World Diabetes Day to raise global awareness of the disease and methods for care and prevention.
This is a webpage for St. James Health Care the focus of this website is general education for the newly diagnosed diabetic patient. This site will also provide links to other reliable resources.
The document discusses heart disease and diabetes. It states that approximately 1 in 544 people are diagnosed with heart disease each year. It explains that heart disease can be caused by eating an unhealthy diet high in fats and sugars, which can lead to diabetes. Diabetes stresses the body and can damage organs like the eyes, kidneys, and heart if blood sugar levels are not controlled. Symptoms of heart disease include chest pain and shortness of breath. Managing heart disease involves lifestyle changes like a healthier diet, exercise, and monitoring symptoms. Both conditions require monitoring and treating risk factors to prevent permanent heart damage.
Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to numerous serious complications by damaging vital organs and tissues over time. It significantly increases the risks of heart disease, kidney disease, nerve damage, eye disease, stomach problems, skin infections, dental disease, and osteoporosis. Keeping blood sugar levels well managed through lifestyle changes, monitoring, and medical treatment is crucial to avoiding these diabetes complications and maintaining overall health and well-being.
Diabetes mellitus is a condition characterized by high blood sugar levels caused by a disruption in insulin production or use. Left uncontrolled, it can lead to complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, blood vessels, and nerves. Risk factors include lifestyle changes like unhealthy diets and lack of exercise. Proper control of blood sugar through diet, exercise, medication, and monitoring is key to managing the disease and its risks.
This document provides an overview of diabetes, including the main types, symptoms, testing procedures, effects on the body, prevention and control methods, and resources for education. It discusses that diabetes affects over 25 million people in the US and is characterized by high blood glucose levels. The main types are type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and pre-diabetes. Symptoms can include frequent urination, thirst, and weight loss. Testing involves fasting plasma glucose tests and oral glucose tolerance tests. Diabetes can damage many organs and body systems over time if not properly managed. Prevention focuses on healthy lifestyle habits while control relies on medication, monitoring, and doctor visits.

Hypoglycemia, or low blood sugar, occurs when glucose levels in the blood drop too low. Symptoms include tiredness, shakiness, hunger, and irritability. Left untreated, it can lead to seizures or loss of consciousness. Hypoglycemia is most common in diabetics taking insulin, but can also occur in non-diabetics due to an overproduction of insulin from the pancreas in response to eating carbohydrates. Managing hypoglycemia involves eating smaller, more frequent meals with a balance of carbohydrates, proteins and fats to help maintain steady blood sugar levels.
Diabetes is the most common lifestyle disorder in today's time. It need lifestyle modification. As experts suggests there is no cure for diabetes, but balanced diet and regular activity will help in managing the condition.
Diabetes can be a silent killer if left undetected and is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure. It can also increase your chances of having a heart attack, stroke or infection.
Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It is characterized by fluctuating blood sugar levels that must be managed through insulin injections or pumps. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation holds walks and fundraisers to support research for a cure and improve the lives of the millions of children living with type 1 diabetes.
There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body destroys insulin-producing cells, requiring insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes results from the body not producing enough insulin or cells ignoring insulin, and can usually be treated through diet and medication changes. Both types result in high blood glucose levels over time and can lead to chronic complications affecting the kidneys, nerves, feet, eyes, heart, and other organs if not properly managed. Common symptoms of high blood glucose include extreme thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and weight changes. Treatment focuses on monitoring blood sugar levels, exercise, diet, medications including insulin injections, and preventing severe long-term health issues.
Diabetes is a disease where blood glucose levels are too high due to problems with insulin production or regulation. High glucose levels over time can damage major organs like the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves. There are four main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, gestational, and pre-diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes increases the risk of serious health complications. However, diabetes can be managed through lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and monitoring glucose levels.
This document discusses diabetes, including its types, symptoms, causes, prevention, and facts.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin daily to survive, unlike type 2 diabetes where the body may still produce some insulin. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and environmental triggers are thought to play a role. Without proper treatment of daily insulin and blood sugar monitoring, complications can include damage to organs and tissues throughout the body. Currently there is no cure for type 1 diabetes.
Lifestyle diseases are diseases that increase as countries industrialize and are linked to how people live. They include diabetes, obesity, heart disease, stroke, and osteoporosis. Diabetes is a metabolic disease involving insulin that can damage major organs. Obesity puts one's health at risk by accumulating too much fat. Heart disease covers many conditions affecting blood flow and the heart that can be fatal. Stroke affects brain function and may cause paralysis. Osteoporosis is a bone condition caused by calcium imbalance that makes bones brittle. Prevention involves a balanced diet, exercise, sleep, recreation, and avoiding smoking and alcohol.

Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot properly process sugar due to a lack of insulin, which is produced by the pancreas. There are two main types of diabetes - Type 1 where the body does not produce insulin at all, and Type 2 where the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. Left untreated, diabetes can lead to serious health complications and even death over time.
The document discusses the five needs of a cell which are oxygen, water, nutrients, waste elimination, and protection from poisons. It then discusses diabetes, including the types (Type 1 and Type 2), symptoms, complications if uncontrolled, and ways to prevent or manage it such as lifestyle changes, exercise, and medication. Diabetes is caused by the body's inability to properly use sugar from food for energy due to insufficient insulin production or effectiveness.
Diabetes is a disease where the body does not produce enough or properly use insulin, a hormone that allows glucose to enter cells and be used for energy. Without enough insulin, glucose builds up in the bloodstream leading to high blood glucose levels which can damage the heart, eyes, nerves, and kidneys if left untreated. There are three main types of diabetes: Type 1 where the body does not produce insulin; Type 2 where the body does not produce enough insulin or use it properly, often affecting overweight people; and gestational diabetes which occurs during pregnancy but usually disappears after.
Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body cannot properly process glucose due to not enough insulin production or cells resisting insulin. There are three main types: Type 1 is an autoimmune disease destroying insulin production; Type 2 is caused by lifestyle factors like obesity; Gestational occurs during pregnancy. Both short and long term complications can damage organs if not controlled through diet, exercise, medication and regular screening. Prevention focuses on maintaining a healthy lifestyle.

Being overweight or obese can lead to several health issues:
1) It increases the risk of coronary heart disease, high blood pressure, and stroke due to the strain on the cardiovascular system and buildup of plaque in arteries.
2) Excess weight can cause or worsen sleep apnea by narrowing the airway.
3) Obesity is a leading risk factor for type 2 diabetes since excess weight interferes with how the body uses insulin.
Maintaining a healthy weight through diet and exercise is important for reducing these health risks.
Treatment and Drugs for Diabetes:
For a person suffering from Type 1 Diabetes, the treatment is going to need a lifetime of commitment. Some of the daily routine that needs to be followed is as followed:
•Taking insulin
•Exercising regularly and making sure to maintain a healthy weight
•Eating healthy foods
•Monitoring the blood sugar level
The goal of the treatment is to make sure that the blood sugar level is kept at bay. Insulin level has to be maintained in the bloodstream and there are two different ways of injecting insulin into the body.
•With a fine needle and a syringe
•An insulin pen, with cartridge filled with insulin
•An insulin pump
Healthy need of food as well as physical activity is required in order to maintain a healthy lifestyle for people who are suffering from Diabetes Type 1.

10 Risks and Complications of Uncontrolled Diabetes and Natural Ways to Avoid...Naturogain
Dear friend, in this presentation we are going to discuss about the 10 risks and complications of uncontrolled diabetes and natural ways to avoid them so that you may improve your overall health and well being as early as possible.
The document discusses the causes, symptoms, and prevention of types 1 and 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. Its symptoms include extreme thirst and frequent urination. While there is no way to prevent type 1 diabetes, managing blood sugar levels through insulin therapy and monitoring is important. Type 2 diabetes is caused by the body becoming resistant to insulin and not using it efficiently, potentially due to genetic and lifestyle factors like poor diet and lack of exercise. Maintaining a healthy diet, daily exercise, and normal weight can help prevent and manage type 2 diabetes.
A research project on the health barriers affecting people living in low socioeconomic status in Pontiac, MI, led my colleague, Markia Jones, RN BSN, and I to develop this utilization tool. This is a booklet we created to promote diabetes awareness, discuss complications of the disease and offer resources for those living in Pontiac, MI.

Diabetes can lead to serious health complications throughout the body if not properly managed. It increases the risk of cardiovascular disease, nerve damage, kidney damage, eye damage, foot damage and other conditions. Complications develop gradually over time and become more severe the longer a person has diabetes. Gestational diabetes also poses risks to both mother and baby like excess growth, low blood sugar, and developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Prediabetes increases the risk of progressing to full type 2 diabetes. Maintaining healthy lifestyle habits can help prevent or delay the onset of complications.
There are four main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and pre-diabetes. Type 1 is usually diagnosed in childhood and requires daily insulin injections. Type 2 is the most common type and is often linked to obesity. Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy, and pre-diabetes means blood sugar levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be classified as type 1 or 2. Common symptoms of diabetes include frequent urination, thirst, hunger, and fatigue. Testing involves fasting plasma glucose tests and oral glucose tolerance tests. Managing diabetes involves diet, exercise, medication and monitoring blood sugar levels. Long-term complications can affect the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves and skin if diabetes is

Obesity is the second leading cause of death after smoking. It is associated with an increased mortality rate of all ages including children. Losing weight though commercialized is still to your benefit if you carry more weight than you should.
Obesity and overweight are terms often used interchangeably. However,
technically they refer to two different states.
Being overweight technically means
excess body mass. This includes all the
body tissues. Obesity on the other
hand refers explicitly to excess body fat
e.g. a professional heavyweight body
builder is overweight because of
excess muscles but is not obese.
Obesity is what should concern you.
Losing weight is no longer an issue you
can afford to procrastinate, and
probably a good health scare is in
order.

Symptoms can include blurred vision, fatigue, and frequent urination. Testing methods include fasting plasma glucose and oral glucose tolerance tests. Prevention focuses on lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, and medication adherence. Diabetes can damage the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves, and skin if not properly managed. While a cure has not been found, research on islet cell transplantation may help some patients live
Diabetes is a disorder of sugar metabolism that exists in two forms: type 1 and type 2. Type 1 is an autoimmune disorder where the pancreas fails to produce insulin, while type 2 is caused by poor dietary and lifestyle choices over many years and is preventable. Obesity is the single greatest risk factor for diabetes. Statistics show rising rates of obesity and diabetes in the UK and other western countries. Addressing obesity and diabetes requires lifestyle changes to diet and exercise, but changing behaviors is difficult. Leptin, a hormone that regulates appetite, may play a role in the connection between obesity and diabetes by causing leptin resistance similar to insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. Complications from uncontrolled diabetes can be severe and
Diabetes is a chronic condition characterized by high blood sugar levels. There are three main types: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 occurs when the body does not produce insulin and type 2 occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not respond properly to insulin. The document discusses the symptoms, causes, and treatments of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise are important for managing blood sugar levels and preventing complications.
This document provides information about managing diabetes through lifestyle changes and medication adherence. It discusses staying healthy with diabetes, taking control of diabetes by monitoring blood sugar and symptoms, and caring for common areas affected by diabetes like feet, eyes, kidneys, nerves, oral health, and blood vessels. The overall message is that following treatment plans and working closely with your doctor can help empower people to thrive with type 2 diabetes.

The document lists the top 10 winter foods for weight loss, including Brussels sprouts, radishes, kale, fennel seeds, honey, eggs, oatmeal, citrus fruits, sunflower seeds, and sweet potatoes. These foods help promote weight loss through their high fiber and nutrient content while being low in calories. Fiber-rich foods help feel full for longer and maintain stable blood sugar levels. The list provides examples of nutrients in each food and how they can help reduce appetite and fat storage.
This document outlines 10 of the worst habits for heart health that should be avoided. These include not taking care of dental hygiene, which can increase the risk of heart disease; experiencing high stress levels, which damages blood vessels; consuming too much salt, which raises blood pressure; getting insufficient sleep, which disrupts the body's natural rhythms; drinking too much alcohol; eating an excessive amount of junk food and red meat; not getting regular health checkups; and not eating enough fruits and vegetables or exercising regularly. Maintaining good dental hygiene, managing stress, watching salt and alcohol intake, sleeping well, eating a balanced diet, and exercising are recommended to promote heart health.
A blood test is a common medical test that provides doctors with important health information. It involves collecting a small blood sample via a needle in the vein. Blood tests can help evaluate how well organs are functioning, diagnose diseases like cancer and diabetes, and check if medications are working properly. While some blood tests require fasting or avoiding certain activities beforehand, preparing for the test by staying hydrated, using a warm compress on the vein area, and reducing stress can help make the experience less uncomfortable.
This document discusses various medical tests that are important for women to get regularly. It recommends that women get their lipid profile, blood sugar levels, blood pressure, liver function, kidney function, vitamin D levels, bone density, breast cancer screening, thyroid tests, cervical cancer screening, hepatitis C screening, colorectal cancer screening, and depression screening tested at regular intervals, especially as they age, to monitor their health and catch any potential issues early. Regular medical screening is important for women to stay healthy.
The ABC Diet is a calorie restriction diet plan aimed at promoting weight loss through reducing calorie intake over time in a gradual manner. It works by restricting calories on certain days and fasting on others to boost metabolism and encourage the body to burn stored fat. However, the diet is very low calorie and can cause side effects like fatigue, dizziness, and electrolyte imbalances if not done carefully and under medical supervision.

2. When you hear of the word Diabetes, what is the first thought that
comes into your mind? It is probably about high blood sugar. Blood
sugar is most often an underestimated component of our health. It
is essential for the body; harmful is its high level for a long time.
When this happens, it is known as diabetes. Diabetes affects the
ability of our bodies to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that
allows the body to turn food glucose into energy.Knowing how
diabetes can affect our body can help prevent developing
complications. Many of the effects of diabetes develop from the
same reasons, most common being, high blood pressure, high
cholesterol levels and a decrease in blood glucose control. In this
article, we talk about the Harmful Effects of Diabetes on our Body
3. Signs of Diabetes
• Frequent Urination
• Fatigue
• Blur vision
• Increased thirst
• Tingling sensations in the hands and feet
When diabetes occurs, its signs can be quickly diagnosed as they are ubiquitous. These signs include;
Diabetes can be very well managed when diagnosed early. However, if it left
untreated, it can lead to potential complications that include various heart
complications like stroke and heart attack, kidney damage and nerve damage.
4. Why and how is Diabetes Caused?
• When we eat or drink, our body breaks down the sugars from the
food we eat and use them for creating energy. To let this process work,
our pancreas needs to produce the insulin hormone. This hormone
facilitates the process of breaking down sugar from the blood and
utilise it.
• In diabetes, either our pancreas produces too little insulin or nothing
at all. As a result, insulin is either used ineffectively. This makes the
blood glucose levels to rise while the rest of the cells are deprived of
much-needed energy. This leads to a more significant number of
problems that nearly affects the major body system. Need to know
more, Keep reading to find out about the Harmful Effects of Diabetes
5. What are the Harmful Effects of
Diabetes on the Body?
Along with the symptoms, diabetes can cause long-term
damage to the body. This long-term damage to our body is
commonly called as diabetic complications. These
complications take many years of poorly controlled diabetes to
develop. These complications are preventable in most
circumstances. Let us have a look at the Harmful Effects of
Diabetes on our body.
6. 10 Harmful Effects of Diabetes on our Body
Many people with diabetes develop
some or the other form of eye
retinopathy. This is the damage caused
to the network of blood vessels that
supply the retina. It can cause damage
to the vision. It is, therefore, essential
for diabetes patients to have regular eye
screenings. If diagnosed early, it can
prevent blindness.
7. 2. Kidney Diseases
Kidneys are organs that are at risk of
damage because of diabetes, and this risk
is increased due to poor control of
diabetes, cholesterol and high blood
pressure. Kidneys can lose their ability to
filter waste material from the blood. If
you are detected with microalbuminuria
or high amounts of proteins in urine, it
could be an indicator that kidneys are not
functioning correctly.
The diseases related to kidneys are known
as diabetic nephropathy. This does not
show until later stages. When detected,
your doctor suggests measures to prevent
kidney failure.
8. 3. Circulatory System
Diabetes increases the risk of
developing high blood
pressure. This puts a strain on
our heart. It faces difficulty in
pumping the blood. High
blood glucose levels
contribute to the formation of
fatty deposits in blood vessel
walls. This restricts blood flow
and increases the risk of
atherosclerosis.
9. 4. Central Nervous System
Diabetes can lead to diabetes
neuropathy, i.e. damage to
the nerves. This can lead to
changes in our perception of
heat, pain and cold. It also
makes a person with diabetes
more prone to injury.
10. 5. Affects the Digestive System
Diabetes can cause nerve
damage, and this can lead to
nausea, constipation and
diarrhoea. The medicines that
are taken by people with
diabetes also lead to a
disturbing pattern of digestion.
These problems tend to settle
down as the body gets used to
them.
11. 6. Numbness in Feet
In addition to nerve damage,
diabetic people experience
issues such as poor circulation of
blood in the feet. As a result, the
person feels numbness in the
lower limbs. This increases the
risk of ulcers and certain
infections. This problem is also
called as diabetic foot.
12. 7. Loss of Hearing
Hearing loss is twice as common in
diabetes patients. It is a common
fact that we can lose hearing
interview with age, but Diabetics
can start losing hearing abilities
soon in life. This loss is caused due
to the damage to inner ear blood
vessels, in the same manner as
eyes and kidneys. A good way to
avoid this condition is keeping a
check on your blood glucose levels
regularly.
13. 8. Gum Problems
People with diabetes have more
chances of developing periodontal
disease, an infection of the bone
and gum that can lead to a
problem in chewing and loss of
teeth. The elevated blood sugar
levels modify the collagen in our
tissues. It is also because there is a
slight increase in the susceptibility
to infections of all kinds.
14. 9. Skin Infections
Having diabetes increases the risk of all types of skin issues. It can
hike up the chances of bacterial infections such as boils and urinary
tract infections and certain fungal infections. Yeast infections are
particularly the first signs of diabetes in someone who have not been
diagnosed with it yet. Skin infections can also be linked to obesity
because in between the skin folds, moist places can become the
breeding houses for bacteria and fungi. Candida may also develop in
these skin folds. Infections can also be caused in genitalia.
15. 10. Obstructive Sleep Apnea
OSA is a severe sleep disorder in which the throat muscles relax and
block the airway during sleep. This affects around 50% of people with
diabetes. It commonly occurs in those who are obese and have a
collar size of more than 16 for women and 17 for men. The most
common sign of OSA is audible snoring. This sleep disorder can make
it difficult to control diabetes. Treatment of OSA involves using a
device to keep your airway open at night or wearing a mouthpiece
that thrusts the jaw forward. In cases that are severe, it can be
treated through surgery.
16. Bottom Line- These were the Harmful Effects of Diabetes and as you
have read and might have noticed that most of these are preventable.
It only needs a little care and precaution to control diabetes. This can
increase the proper functioning of the organs and body as a whole.
