Controlling Diabetes

  • In some diabetes cases, the person must take medication (Sulfonylureas, Glyburide, Glimepiride, Metformin, Acarbose and Miglitol) and insulin to keep blood sugar levels stable.

Diabetes Mellitus.

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes, or sometimes known as diabetes mellitus, is a disease that happens when the body can no longer process sugar properly. There are three types of diabetes:

Type 2 Diabetes

Gestational Diabetes

1. Used to be known as non-insulin-dependent diabetes or adult-onset diabetes.

2. Happens when the body does not produces enough insulin or the cells in the body are resistant to insulin.

3. 90-95% of all diabetes is type 2.

4. Overweight and obese people have a much higher risk.

5. Old people have an even higher risk.

1. Occurs during pregnancy because the placenta releases more hormones as it grows so the pancreas can no longer meet the needed amount of insulin.

2. 3-8% of pregnant women develop gestational diabetes.

3. 10-20% of them need some kind of medication to control their blood glucose.

4. Gestational diabetes usually goes away once the baby is born.

5. However, the mother has a 33% chance of getting type 2 diabetes later.

Type 1 Diabetes

Nutrients causing Diabetes

1. Used to be known as insulin-dependent diabetes, juvenile diabetes or early-onset diabetes.

2. Occurs when a person's pancreas produces very little or no insulin at all because it is attacked by immune system and the beta cells are destroyed.

3. 10% of all diabetes is type 1 diabetes.

4. Most of the time, type 1 diabetes targets children or teenagers, but anyone of any age can develop it.
