There are few of my friends who are Doctors and used to meet each other online and few studied with me those are Doctor in a different specialists / disciplines, I would like to share with all of you that what I learnt from them is sharing here…
First about famous diabetics, there are currently two types of well known diabetics, one is Type 1 and another one is Type 2.
First let me share the knowledge about Diabetes:
What is diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus "is called diabetes" come across when the physical's level of glucose (sugar) in the blood adds higher than normal. There are two main types of Diabetes – and Type 2 Diabetes.
Understanding blood glucose and insulin
When we eat, various foods are broken down in our gut into sugars. The main sugar is called glucose that passes through our blood glucose level should not go too high or too low. So, when our blood glucose level begin to rise (after we had), the level of a hormone called insulin should also rise. Insulin works on the cells of your body and makes them take in glucose from the bloodstream. Some of the glucose is used by the cells for energy, and some is converted into glycogen or fat is then transferred back into glucose that is released from the cells into bloodstream.
Insulin is a hormone made by special “place” of cells in the pancreas, (Hormones are chemicals which are released into the bloodstream and work on various parts of the body).
Now, let me share the knowledge about first one
Diabetes Type 1:
In this type of diabetes the pancreas stops making insulin. The illness and symptoms develop quickly (over days or weeks) because the level of insulin in the bloodstream becomes very low. Type 1 Diabetes used to be known as juvenile, early onset, or Insulin Dependent Diabetes, it develops in children or in young adults. This Type 1 diabetes is treated with Insulin injections and diet.
Diabetes Type 2:
It comes mainly in people aged over or around 40 years. The first treatment is diet and exercise. If the blood glucose level remains high even though a trial of diet and exercise, then tablets to reduce the blood glucose level are usually advised. Insulin is needed in some cases. Other, treatments include reducing blood pressure if it is high, and other measure to reduce the risk of complications.
With type 2 diabetes, the illness and symptoms tend to develop gradually (over weeks or months). This is because in Type 2 you still make insulin (unlike Type 1), However, we develop diabetes because of many factors:
• Our food or physical not making enough insulin for our body’s need, or,
• The cells in our body do not use insulin properly.
• A combination of the above both the reasons
