What is Diabetes - Really?

Article Category: Wellness, Fitness and Diet

Author Name: Kenn Fong

There are three main types of diabetes that people are thinking of when they ask, "What is diabetes?" These types of diabetes are the most common forms found in the United States and affect a majority of individuals at some point in their life.

In the United States, about 5-10% of children and young adults are found to have Type 1 diabetes yearly. It is classified as an auto-immune disease. When the immune system attacks the beta cells that produce insulin in the pancreas and kills them. As a result the pancreas cannot produce insulin.

Most cases of Type 1 diabetes have a sudden onset of symptoms which include extreme thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, blurred vision, and/or extreme fatigue. When there is no medical treatment for this condition it can result in diabetic ketoacidosis, or diabetic coma. This is a serious and life-threatening condition when it is not treated.

Type 2 diabetes occurs in over 95% of adults over 35 in the US according to the Natl. Inst. Of Health. Eighty percent of the people who have Type 2 diabetes are overweight. A person with Type 2 diabetes does not get the insulin they need because their cells become resistant to it.

Type 2 diabetes is triggered by obesity, lack of exercise, some ethnicity's, a person's age and, in some cases, genetics. Other causes for this type of diabetes are high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Unhealthy eating habits are the greatest cause for Type 2 diabetes. When a person has a lifestyle that does not include proper diet and exercise, they are greatly susceptible to Type 2 diabetes.

People will develop the symptoms of this diabetes gradually over a long period of time. They will feel extreme fatigue, blurred vision, increased thirst and hunger, slow healing of wounds and sores, and frequent urination.

Most of the time if a person changes their lifestyle, loses weight, and begins to exercise, they will be able to resolve their Type 2 diabetes. In some cases people must continue medication for the diabetes, but this rarely occurs.

Women in the 2nd trimester of pregnancy can develop gestational diabetes. This diabetes occurs in 3-8% of pregnant women and is resolved when they have the baby. Many women who develop this diabetes during pregnancy are instructed on the proper exercise and diet to keep the diabetes in control when they are pregnant.

Most women who have gestational diabetes with a baby, will continue to develop the condition each time they get pregnant. There is about a forty percent risk that they will develop Type 2 diabetes later in life.
