There are several types of diabetes caused by the body's inability to produce or properly use insulin. Diabetes is diagnosed through blood tests and those at higher risk are people who are overweight, have a family history of diabetes, or have had gestational diabetes. Treatment involves education on a diabetic diet, exercise, and monitoring blood sugar levels through food intake, medication if needed, and lifestyle changes. Maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine is important for managing diabetes.

- Diabetes is a disorder where the body cannot properly process glucose due to either not producing insulin (Type 1) or cells not responding to insulin (Type 2). Gestational diabetes occurs during pregnancy.
- Symptoms vary but include increased thirst, hunger, urination and fatigue. Treatment involves monitoring blood sugar levels, nutrition, exercise and potentially insulin injections.
- For diabetes nutrition, the focus is on whole grains, vegetables, lean proteins and limiting sugars/fats to control blood sugar and weight. Portion sizes vary depending on blood sugar goals.
This document provides an overview of diabetes, including its causes, symptoms, types, and treatment/management. It discusses the following key points:
- Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the body cannot properly process glucose due to not producing or properly using insulin. There are three main types: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
- Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, and fatigue. Long term complications can impact the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves and skin.
- Risk factors include genetics, obesity, and lack of exercise. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as medication and insulin for type 1 diabetes. Regular screening and
Diabetes occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells ignore the insulin. There are two main types of diabetes - type 1 where the body does not produce insulin and type 2 where the body does not produce enough insulin or cells ignore it. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications affecting eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, and feet. Management involves monitoring blood sugar levels, following a healthy diet, exercising regularly, and potentially taking medications or insulin injections. The goal is to control blood sugar and prevent or delay complications through an optimal treatment plan.
If you have diabetes, your body isn’t able to properly process and use glucose from the food you eat. There are different types of diabetes, each with different causes, but they all share the common problem of having too much glucose in your bloodstream. Treatments include medications and/or insulins. Some types of diabetes can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Diabetes, often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose, either because insulin production is not enough, or because the body's cells do not react properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become more and more thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).
There are mainly 3 types of Diabetes.
1. Type 1 Diabetes.
2. Type 2 Diabetes
3. Gestational Diabetes
-Diabetes in India is chronic disease that takes place when the pancreas doesn’t produce enough insulin or when the body is unable to react to the insulin produced by the pancreas. Hypereglycemia, or increased blood sugar level, is a symptom caused by uncontrolled sugar levels in the blood which over time leads to many serious damages to body functioning, especially the nerves and blood vessel.
-2 Types of Diabetes India
Prediabetes India
It is a serious health condition where sugar levels in the blood are higher than normal, but not high enough to be diagnosed as type 2 diabetes.
If you have prediabetes, the cells in your body don’t respond to insulin and the pancreas makes more insulin to try to get cells to respond properly. Eventually, the pancreas can’t keep up, and blood sugar rises which is setting the stage for prediabetics and also building a path for type 2 diabetes
Types 2 Diabetes India
This type of diabetes is formerly known as the non-insulin dependent type of diabetes which is caused when the body is poorly managing body’s insulin. The pancreas has three different types of cells namely alpha cells, beta cells and gamma cells. These cells are collectively known as islets of langerhans . When there is malfunctioning of beta cells , insulin is not properly secreted in the blood. since alpha cells are responsible for maintainence of glucose level in blood, the blood glucose level increases due to malfunctioning of beta cells . This increase of blood glucose level is termed as Diabetes Mellitus Type-2.

#GESTATIONAL DIABETES India
Gestational diabetes happens when the body can’t make enough insulin during pregnancy. During pregnancy, the women’s body makes more hormones and goes through many other changes such as gaining weight, due to which body cells use insulin less effectively, this condition is called insulin resistance
Generally speaking, diabetes is a disorder involving the
metabolism of a person.

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates, proteins and fats leading to hyperglycemia. There are four main types of diabetes: type 1 caused by destruction of insulin-producing beta cells; type 2 caused by insufficient insulin production or cells ignoring insulin; gestational diabetes during pregnancy; and other specific types. Diabetes is diagnosed through four testing options measuring glucose levels. Key aspects of managing diabetes include monitoring carbohydrate and calorie intake, exercising regularly, maintaining normal blood sugar, cholesterol, and blood pressure levels, and receiving routine eye, foot and dental exams.

An expanding waistline accelerates aging through increased oxidative stress, inflammation, glycation, and toxic accumulation. Losing waist weight through a healthy diet, exercise, supplements, stress management, and optimizing hormones can help people live longer by reducing these damaging processes.

Diabetes is a chronic condition where the body cannot properly use glucose from food for energy. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1 caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells; type 2 usually due to lifestyle factors like obesity and lack of exercise; and gestational diabetes which occurs during pregnancy. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include obesity, family history, and certain ethnicities. Complications from high blood sugar levels can damage organs and tissues over time. Lifestyle modifications like following a whole foods plant-based diet, regular exercise, achieving a healthy weight, and stress management are effective non-drug approaches for preventing and managing diabetes. Medications are also used such as metformin, insulin, and other drugs to help
Diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidusShweta Sharma
This document provides information on diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus. It discusses the types, causes, signs and symptoms, diagnostic evaluation, and management of both conditions. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by high blood glucose levels due to insufficient insulin production or action. Diabetes insipidus is caused by a deficiency of antidiuretic hormone, resulting in excessive urine production and thirst. The document outlines the different etiologies, pathophysiology, clinical presentation, and treatment approaches for diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.
Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body either not producing enough insulin or not properly responding to insulin. There are four main types of diabetes - type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. While diabetes has no cure, lifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercise, and medication adherence can help manage the disease and prevent or delay complications that can damage organs. Education is key to understanding diabetes and how to live well with the condition.
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic disease that affects how your body turns food into energy. when someone is diabetic the body doesn’t or can’t use the Insulin it makes as well as it should. When there isn’t enough insulin or cells stop responding to insulin, too much blood sugar stays in the bloodstream.
There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes results from a lack of insulin production and requires lifelong insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes accounts for around 75% of diabetes cases and involves insufficient insulin production or resistance. Gestational diabetes develops during pregnancy. Diabetes occurs when the body cannot properly use or produce insulin to regulate blood glucose levels, leading to symptoms like increased thirst, hunger, and urination. Treatment involves diet, exercise, oral medications, and sometimes insulin injections.
Type 1 diabetes occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce enough insulin. Insulin acts as a key to allow glucose from food to enter cells and provide energy. Without enough insulin, glucose remains in the bloodstream causing abnormally high blood glucose levels. Symptoms of high blood glucose include increased thirst, fatigue, frequent urination, stomach pain, weight loss, and general feelings of being unwell. Type 1 diabetes is treated through lifelong insulin therapy via injections or pump, healthy eating, physical activity, blood glucose monitoring, and regular medical checkups. While genes may increase risk, type 1 diabetes develops when environmental triggers cause the immune system to destroy insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
This document discusses gestational diabetes, a form of diabetes that affects women during pregnancy. It is caused by pregnancy hormones blocking insulin's ability to regulate blood sugar levels. Most women with gestational diabetes can control it through diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and medical treatment if needed. While it can increase risks for the mother and baby, managing the condition well can help avoid complications and allow for healthy deliveries. The key is keeping blood sugar levels within target ranges to support the baby's growth.
There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes which is insulin dependent and usually develops in childhood, and type 2 diabetes which often develops later in life and can be prevented or managed through lifestyle changes. The main symptoms of type 1 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, weight loss, and tiredness. Management of type 1 diabetes involves insulin injections or pump therapy. Type 2 diabetes is managed through diet, exercise, oral medications, and lifestyle changes like following a balanced diet and regular physical activity.
Type 1 diabetes is a chronic autoimmune disease where the body's immune system destroys the beta cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Without insulin to convert blood sugar into energy, sugar builds up in the bloodstream and can cause damage to organs. Symptoms include extreme thirst, frequent urination, drowsiness, and weight loss. There is no known cause, but treatments involve daily insulin injections or pumps and frequent blood sugar testing to manage levels and avoid potentially life-threatening reactions.
Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.

Editor's Notes
5.9% of the US population has diabetes that is approximately 15.1 million people. Each day 2,200 people are diagnosed. 798,000 will be diagnosed this year. It is the 7th leading cause of death. There is no cure for diabetes only methods to treat its symptoms.
Gestational Diabetes develops in 2.5% of all pregnancies but disappears when the pregnancy is over. The women are at an increased risk for developing type II later in life. It is temporary form of production, or the pancreas’s inability to produce enough insulin. If the woman has hyperglycemia, her blood glucose crosses the placenta but her insulin does not. This can cause a high birth weight for baby
Diabetes often goes undiagnosed because many of it’s symptoms seem so harmless. Early detection and treatment can lower the incidence of complications.
Doctors diagnose on the basis of high levels of glucose in the blood. There are 2 types of blood tests used for screening and diagnostic. Screening is done on people with no symptoms of diabetes. You have probably seen these done at health fairs where blood is taken by pricking your finger. For a diagnostic tests, the physician draws blood from a vein. Two of the diagnostic tests are:
Fasting Plasma Glucose Test – fasted for at least 8 hours.
Oral Glucose Tolerance Test: Must fast overnight, then your fasting blood sugar is tested. You then receive 75 grams of glucose and blood samples are taken four times to measure blood glucose levels.
Diabetes is actually diagnosed when two diagnostic test completed at different times/days show that your blood sugar is high.
Diabetics also must be pay close attention to their feet, this may be an issue with exercise. 1 in 5 people with diabetes enter the hospital due to foot problems. Usually due to poor wound healing which is caused by poor circulation.
Hemoglobin A1C is the blood test with a memory. Hemoglobin is the protein in red blood cells that carries oxygen. These blood cells stay in circulation for 2-3 months. It is not used to diagnose just to monitor blood sugar control. It is performed two times a year. A hemoglobin of 6% indicates good control and level&gt;8% indicates action is needed.
Nutrition along with exercise and medication is important for good diabetes control. Diabetes control means keeping the blood sugar level as close to normal as possible. This can be done by eating a diet low in saturated fat and total fat, moderate in sodium and sugar, eating 5 or more fruits a day, a diet rich in whole grains, and moderate use of alcohol. Alcohol moves quickly through the blood without being broken down. The alcohol content of blood can be measured within 5 minutes of a having a drink. If you have diabetes alcohol can cause hypoglycemia.
Each year 190,000 people die as a result of diabetic complications. Diabetes complications are the seventh leading cause of death. They are all strongly related to high blood sugar. They include blindness- this is the leading cause of blindness in people 20 to 74 years of age. Kidney Disease – 10 –21% develop kidney disease, it is the most common cause of end-stage renal disease requiring the need of dialysis to live. Heart Disease and Stroke – diabetes are 2 –4 times more likely to have heart disease.
Nerve disease and amputations occur in 60 – 70% of diabetic patients. The risk is 40 times greater for a diabetic person to have some form of nerve damage. Impotence is due to diabetic nephropathy or blood vessel blockage it affects 13% of people with Type I and 8% of those with Type II.
After they feel better they need to eat regular meals and snacks.
Ketoacidosis is also known as a diabetic coma.
Hyperglycemia happens from time to time to all people who have diabetes. It is the technical term for high blood sugar. Other stresses can also cause it.
It is very important to treat it as soon as possible. Usually can lower it by exercising or injecting more insulin, be careful of the somogyi effect.
