PREVENTING DIABETES MELLITUS

Sugar causes diabetes mellitus

How ill If There's Disease in the Human Body. How ill, if you have diabetes mellitus. Activity we would be distracted and uncomfortableThe rate of diabetes mellitus can not be underestimated. World Health Organization (WHO) calculates there are 220 ​​million people worldwide have diabetes. This number is expected to increase to two-fold, or about 440 million in 20 years. Diabetes mellitus can not be considered normal due to disease complications cause serious diseases, such as coronary heart disease, kidney failure, stroke until death.

Diabetes mellitus is classified as a chronic disease, which occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when they can not effectively use the insulin produced. If we suffer from this disease, really how ill. This led to increased concentration of glucose in the blood.

There are two types of diabetes, type 1 is known as insulin-dependent, characterized by a lack of insulin production due to damage to the pancreas. The first type is due to heredity or genetics. Type 2 is non-insulin dependent due to the use of insulin in the body. The second type due to being overweight, due to lack of activity and poor diet.

Genetics of type 1 diabetes there are two types, namely offspring through genetics and lifestyle habits of descent through the family. Although both parents or one of them with diabetes, not necessarily because their children have a disease similar to the most important factor is the pattern of life of the child. Indeed genetically derived can not be changed again, if the child or parents keep eating children, the child will not diabetes.
Healthy lifestyles
The second type of family life patterns passed down to children, such as unhealthy eating habits, activity and exercise is usually done together. Although the family had no history of diabetes, if the pattern of life including food intake and activity of both parents is not healthy will certainly have an impact on children.

In general, an attack of diabetes regardless of age. children aged under 10 years old to senior citizens were not spared from diabetes. The most important is to maintain lifestyle, including diet and activity. Acute complications of diabetes lead to short-term and chronic long-term. Acute complications can lead to death when high blood sugar or hyperglycemia. This can occur when diabetes is left untreated. In addition to hyperglycemia, as well as low blood sugar or hypoglycemia because of excessive medication or diet.
Heredity
Have parents who either one of them developed diabetes had to be vigilant. Because the potential of children exposed to such disease 25% higher than those who do not have a history of similar illness.


Indeed hereditary factors can not be eliminated just yet does not mean someone can not be free from hereditary diseases it. One way to break the history of the disease either by fixing a healthy lifestyle.

In principle, not just those with diabetic lineage millitus who can get this disease. Those who do not maintain a healthy lifestyle and having obesity problems also have the same potential. What kind of maintaining a healthy lifestyle? that regulate food intake of sweet foods, cholesterol foods and excess carbohydrates will trigger the onset of the disease.

Parents who apply a loose pattern of consumption in children, it would be dangerous for their children someday. Children who are overweight are more prone to diabetes early. Recognize this disease is tricky because of the nature of this disease, including diseases that attack silently. Usually they will just see a doctor when their bodies are experiencing problems such as drastic weight loss accompanied by headaches, began to frequent urination or other distractions.

Either due to type 1 diabetes due to genetic factors and type 2 diabetes due to impaired secretion of the hormone insulin, they usually know their disease after a complaint.

Millitus diabetics vulnerable age much younger now that the age of 24 years to 32 years. Why did it happen? those who contract the disease usually has a pattern of uncontrolled eating. Eating foods low in fat and low in carbohydrates will be more healthful for the body.
