Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterized by our body's
decreased ability or complete inability to utilize carbohydrates.
Carbohydrates are normally broken down within the body in the form
of glucose, our body's main energy source.
Insulin is the protein hormone created in the beta cells of the
pancreas, and it is secreted into the blood stream in response to
high levels of glucose in the blood. Insulin is essential for
transporting the glucose in the blood across the cell membranes
where it is converted into energy.
Our body cannot absorb glucose directly into its cells, so insulin
must be present in order for glucose to get into our cells and be
put to work.
However, for someone with diabetes there is an insufficient
production of insulin and therefore the glucose is prevented from
getting to the cells and being converted to energy.
Instead the glucose accumulates in the bloodstream. When this
happens the result is symptoms ranging from mental confusion to
coma. Some of the major symptoms of diabetes are: excessive thirst,
frequent urination, increased appetite and loss of weight.
Types Of Diabetes
There are two major types of diabetes:
Type I Diabetes is also called insulin dependent diabetes.
This is sometimes referred to as juvenile diabetes because it most
often begins in childhood, but it can also occur in adults.
Because the body does not manufacture insulin, people with Type I
Diabetes must take insulin shots to live. Less than ten percent of
people who have diabetes have Type I.
Type II Diabetes is also called adult-onset-diabetes. In this
case the body may make insulin, but either it makes too little
insulin or the body cannot use what insulin it makes. In other
words, the body makes insulin but it cannot convert the glucose in
the blood so it can be utilized by the cells of the body.
This is called insulin resistance where the cells of our body become
less and less responsive to our own insulin and so not enough
glucose is allowed to enter our cells. Type II
Diabetes occurs most commonly in people over age forty.
