Treat Diabetes

Diabetes is a silent disease that is not possible to detect until it has already established itself in the body. Diabetes affects the body at its core, every day normal functions. This includes the ability of the cells in the different tissues and organs to feed themselves. The cells need insulin to process glucose and starches into energy without it the glucose cannot be transformed and the cells will starve and die.

Diabetes type 1 happens when the body does not produce insulin at all. It is necessary for insulin to be injected into the body so it can feed itself. Diabetes type 2 happens when the body does produce insulin but it is not enough or the body cells cannot use it to transform the glucose. In this case medication is required but not insulin shots.
Genetics is the principal reason for diabetes type1; this is recognized and accepted everywhere. Type 2 diabetes is a product of poor eating habits, overweight and lack of exercise and in general a disorderly way of life. Both types of diabetes can be treated and controlled with proper medical care and commitment from the patient.

Uncontrolled diabetes of either type is very dangerous. The first symptoms of diabetes are constant and permanent hunger and thirst. Unusual weight loss and urination are also early symptoms which must be watched. Farther along we have a feeling of numbness in the extremities, hands and/or feet, blurring vision, frequent infections and slow healing wounds and finally irritability and extreme exhaustion.
All these come from the inability of the body to feed itself. If medication is not taken and the diabetes is not controlled, the brain starts closing organs down in order to continue feeding those which are most important to life itself, the lungs, heart and brain. The blood stream overflows with glucose and starches which slowly but relentlessly start poisoning the body instead of feeding it.
Advanced, uncontrolled diabetes will lead to limb removal due to unhealed infections caused by the accumulation of dead cells which the kidneys and liver cannot get rid of because they don’t work properly anymore. The pancreas shuts down too because it cannot produce the necessary insulin to process the available glucose so it is overworked and tired, it finally gives up and stops producing insulin completely.

Blood pressure continues to rise uncontrolled and damages the fine and delicate blood vessels in the eyes bringing about blindness. The heart is also incapable of producing the amount of pressure it needs to send blood to every part of the body so it starts to give up to. Muscles weaken and tear and eventually it will stop in a massive heart attack. The brain is also unable to cope with the increase in blood pressure and all the toxins in the blood due to kidney failure and it too shuts down. This is what is called a diabetic coma.

Of course this relation of events will only happen if diabetes goes unattended and uncontrolled. Diagnosed diabetics all over the world go about their business like normal healthy people. They exercise daily and eat healthy food and live perfectly normal lives. The key to diabetes is to keep it under control, take the medication prescribed permanently, get plenty of rest, exercise daily and eat healthy foods. The rest of the time they can almost forget about their disease it because it will not affect them or their bodies in any way.
