What is diabetes and why?
Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the body’s insulin production or its use process is affected. Insulin is a hormone that controls sugar in the body. When this process deteriorates, glucose levels in the blood begin to grow abnormally, affecting many other organs such as heart, eyes, kidney and nervous systems.
Five types of diabetes
1. Type 1 Diabetes (Type 1 Diabetes)
It is an autoimmune disease in which the body’s immune system accidentally destroys the beta cells producing insulin. It is usually found in children or adolescents. The patient needs insulin injection. The reason for this can be called genetic factor, viral infection.
2. Type 2 Diabetes
It is the most common type and is seen in most of the elders. In this, the body is not able to use insulin properly or its production is low. The main reason for this is obesity, physical inactivity, irregular eating. It can be controlled by lifestyle.
3. Gestational Diabetes
This diabetes occurs in women during pregnancy. This can be normal after delivery but there is a possibility of converting to type 2 diabetes later. The possibility of danger increases for both mother and child.
4. Monogenic Diabetes
It is a rare genetic type of diabetes, especially seen in newborns. It is also known as’ Maturity ONSET Diabetes of the Young). This diabetes is caused by genetic mutations.
5. Type 5 Diabetes
Type 5 diabetes has now been identified in new researches, with diabetes and kidney disease together. In this, along with insulin resistance, the function of the kidney also deteriorates. Some experts are also calling it ‘Hybrid Diabetes’ or ‘Diabetes with Kidney-Related Metabolic Dysfunction’. Its treatment starts like type 2 but over time the kidney requires separate care.
