What is diabetes & Know some native tips for diabetics
Diabetes is a chronic condition that affects the way blood sugar is processed in the body as glucose. For your body to function properly, you need to maintain a healthy level of glucose in your blood.
Glucose is your body's main source of energy. It comes from the carbohydrate foods you eat, such as bread, pasta, rice, grains, fruits, starchy vegetables, milk, and yogurt. When you eat these foods, your blood stream carries glucose around your body, where your cells turn it into energy.
To break down glucose so it can enter your cells, your body needs insulin, a hormone produced in your pancreas. If you have diabetes, it means that your pancreas makes very little insulin, or none at all. The glucose that you eat will stay in your blood instead of turning it into energy.
High levels of glucose in your blood can have short-term and long-term effects on your body, which can potentially damage your heart, brain, kidneys, eyes and feet.
Types of diabetes
type 1, type 2 and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease. If you have type 1 diabetes, it means that your pancreas no longer produces the insulin you need. This means that you will need to monitor your blood sugar levels regularly and either inject insulin or use an insulin pump to keep those levels within a healthy range.
Type 1 diabetes is one of the most common childhood conditions in developed nations such as Australia.
If you have type 2 diabetes, it means that your pancreas is not producing enough insulin or that the insulin you are producing is not working effectively. With regular physical activity, a healthy eating plan and regular health checkups, you can manage your diabetes to live well.
Type 2 diabetes is a progressive condition. Over time you may need medication, and in some cases insulin, to manage your blood sugar levels.
Gestational diabetes is a condition that you may develop during pregnancy. When you are 24 to 28 weeks pregnant, it will be diagnosed with a blood test and an oral glucose tolerance test. Gestational diabetes can be managed with diet and exercise, although some women may require medication or insulin until childbirth.
Gestational diabetes usually disappears after birth, although it may increase the likelihood that you will develop type 2 diabetes later in life.
You may have also heard of pre diabetes. If you have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes, it means that your blood sugar levels and insulin levels are higher than normal - but not yet high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. Making lifestyle changes can help pre-diabetes slow the progression of type 2 diabetes.
