Diabetes

Diabetes is a metabolic disorder, which is acknowledged by the symptoms of excess thirst, increased frequency of urination and increased hunger.

Diabetes occurs because of the lack of transportation of glucose from blood into the tissues. This problem arises due to the lack of formation of insulin.

The insulin is formed in the beta cells of pancreas and if there is any abnormality in the beta cells of the pancreas, the insulin production goes low and then ultimately it fades out totally.

At this day and age there are about millions of people all around the world who are suffering from this disorder and are going through a lot of complications because of it.

Diabetes occurs when there is very little or no insulin in the blood and the glucose is not transported to the cells, and the blood glucose rises higher and higher, and if this situation is not corrected then the person who is going through this may suffer from hypoglycemic shock.

Hypoglycemic shock is decreased level of glucose in the cells. Since glucose is being utilized as the main energy source, the lack of transportation of the glucose in the cells cause hypoglycemia, and the lack of glucose also occurs in the brain cells, which is a very dangerous situation and the person can go into hypoglycemic shock.

Hypoglycemic shock is an emergency and must be treated immediately. In this situation, insulin is injected into the patient and the glucose gets transported into the cells from the blood stream.

In long term cases of hypoglycemia, where there is no glucose available to the cells, the body starts utilizing fat as a source of energy and if the body uses fat as a source of energy for a longer period of time, then this can lead to a situation called diabetic ketoacidosis.

Diabetic ketoacidosis is a lethal situation, which needs to be corrected immediately because the toxic substances can cross the blood brain barrier and can cause deleterious effects on the brain.

Overall diabetes is a condition that needs to be treated with a whole lot care and is a lifelong problem, so one should learn all the things about it in detail.
