1. What is meant by Diabetes Mellitus or diabetes?
Diabetes is a disease in which the body cannot produce insulin (a hormone regulating blood sugar) or produced insufficient insulin or the insulin is not working properly. Therefore, it will cause blood sugar to rise when examined.People with diabetes have high blood sugar levels. This is because the pancreas cannot produce insulin or muscle, fat and liver cells do not respond to insulin normally, or both. Mistra create perfect analogy to describe it in ‘3Ways to fight Diabetes Mellitus’. Mistra analogize the hormone insulin as a city public transport drivers. If the mass strike the city transports drivers, people would gather on the edge of the road waiting for transport services. The person (passengers) is described as the sugar in the blood. If insulin is absent or few in number, the sugar in the blood cannot be transported to spread throughout the blood vessels.
In general, the intake of sugar in the blood is stored in the liver. Here is processed into glycogen. If the body needs, the liver will issue and process back into glucose. For the normal, no matter how much sugar consumption does not interfere with the body's organs.
The diabetic is different from normal people. Usually their urine, water is rather thick and sweet. This is because the amount of sugar in the blood. Sugar is cleaned and collected in the bladder by the kidneys.
There are two types of major types of diabetes are:
Type 1 diabetes
A situation in which the body is completely unable to produce insulin. So patients must use insulin injections to regulate their blood sugar. Most sufferers are children and adolescents.
Diabetes Type 2
Occurs because the body does not produce enough insulin or because insulin cannot be used properly (insulin resistance). This type is the most suffered at this time (90% more), often occur in those aged over 40 years, obese and have a family history of diabetes. Most people do not realize had been suffering from Type 2 diabetes, although the situation has become very serious. Diabetes type 2 has become pervasive in the world and in Indonesia, and the numbers continue to grow as a result of an unhealthy lifestyle, overweight and lazy to exercise.
