-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. #Causes: - Excess body weight Physical inactivity Excess fast-food intake Lethargy Sedentary Lifestyle obesity Family History Genetic Pancreatic disorders Race and Ethnicity Blood Lipid Levels Age Pre-diabetics In-appropriate fat distribution -Symptoms May be similar to those of type 1 diabetes but they are mostly less marked, which causes the disease to be diagnosed in a long time, after which complications have already Polydipsia Polyphasia Polyuria Neuropathy Nephropathy Retinopathy Weight loss Fatigue -Type 1 Diabetes India Type 1 diabetes is formerly known as an insulin-dependent type of diabetes. This type of diabetes is characterized by a lack of production of insulin in the body and it requires daily injections of insulin Causes Nonactive lifestyle Family member with diabetes history Injury to or removal of the pancreas Sedentary lifestyle Symptoms Excessive thirst Increased urination Unexplained weight loss Headache Dehydration Irritability Mood swings Increased appetite Fatigue Miscarriage and menstrual cycle disruption (in adults) Yeast infections Sometimes wake up in the middle of the night to urinate * #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
