What is Diabetes?
Diabetes is a
chronic disorder. One way it occurs is when the pancreas does
not secrete enough of the hormone insulin.Diabetes is commonly
categorized into two types. The first type of diabetes is
sometimes called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM).The
second type of diabetes is also known as noninsulin, dependent
diabetes mellitus (NIDDM). People with diabetes stand a higher
than normal chance of developing heart disease and circulatory
problems such as high blood pressure, hardening of the arteries,
heart attacks and strokes.
Two Types Of Diabetes:
IDDM Diabetes: In type 1 diabetes, cells of the
pancreas that produce insulin are destroyed.Without injections
of insulin, the body of a person with type 1 diabetes cannot
turn blood glucose into energy.
NIDDM Diabetes: More than 90 percent of people with
diabetes have NIDDM . In this disease, the body loses its
ability to make efficient use of insulin to turn glucose (sugar)
into energy. Sugar buildup in the blood can cause both
short-term and long-term problems. NIDDM diabetes causes damage
to both large and small arteries. This artery damage results in
medical problems that are both common and serious. Heart
attack,Stroke,Amputations,Kidney failure,Blindness these artery
problems are the most serious consequences of NIDDM diabetes.

type 1 & 2 diabetes. Medicines are no substitute for lifestyle
