Glucose can be produced in body through the food we
eat and it is taken from the body organ which is pancreas
in the form of insulin, a hormone. Pancreas is located
between stomach and liver and it is a small organ.
Pancreas secrets the other enzymes which can help
digest the food. Insulin lets glucose to progress
in the blood, tissues, and cells and fats wherever
it is necessary as a fuel.
People, who have diabetes problem can have one of
the two types of diabetes, may be they do not make
insulin which is Type 1 diabetes or they cannot use
insulin properly which is Type 2 diabetes.
In diabetes of any type, the glucose levels are not
transferred from blood to cells. This cannot only
damage cells but can also harm other body organs and
tissues which face excessive levels of glucose. There
is one another type of diabetes which is gestational
diabetes produced in another half period of the pregnancy
and goes away soon after delivery but the women who
face gestational diabetes can have diabetes of Type
2 later in their life.
There is one another disease similar to diabetes
and known as pre-diabetes in which, the blood sugar
level is high but not that high to be consider as
diabetes. People who face this can have diabetes later
in life or they can have chances of stokes or heart
diseases. Both types of diabetes can lead to high
levels of sugar levels to form a condition called
hyperglycemia and this can damage the retina of eye,
the kidneys, the nerves, and the blood vessels. Numbers
of infections are also bound with diabetes. Artificial
insulin and other medications are provided for diabetes
patients to form insulin levels normal in body.
