Diabetes


 

What is diabetes?

 

Diabetes, in full diabetes mellitus, is a disease of the metabolism. The body is no longer capable of producing sugars by itself or to process glucose from nutrition. This is because the body can't make (or cannot make enough) insuline. Or the insuline can not perform its function very well. The hormone insuline is neccessary for the transport of glucose from the blood to the body tissues. Besides those problems, it is also often the case that the fat metabolism is out of balance.

 

No one can live without glucose, because glucose gives the body energy that enables the muscles and organs to function. Glucose can be found in carbonhydrates in your nutrition. Carbonhydrates are not only in sweet things, like sugar and fruit, but also in some vegetables, milk, bread and potatoes. Normaly, the body will produce and release enough insuline to process the glucose in the blood. In this way, the level of sugar in the blood (bloodglucose) stays always between certain boundaries, not to low and not to high. If you have diabetes, this balance is gone.

 

Insuline is made in the pancreas . When there is no or not enough insuline made, or if you are oversensitive to insuline, the body must make a great effort to extract the glucose from the blood. This can only through urine: the patient gets an enourmous thirst and needs to go to the bathroom very often. Because the patient cannot extract energy from the blood, you feel tired and dull.

 

A bloodglucose level that is to high can be damaging for all parts of your body. That's why it is important to treat diabetes as soon as possible, and to keep the bloodglucose within normal boundaries.
