Can DIABETICS be a cause of death ???

 Diabetics is one of the most common disease in the world. Today, i am going to discuss about diabetics in detail.

Diabetics is also called as diabetes mellitus. It is a metabolic disorder.The affected individuals would have high level of blood sugar level. It is either because pancreases fail to produce insulin or the cells fail to respond to the insulin produced.

There are about three types of diabetics.

• Type 1 diabetics:

This type of diabetics occurs when our own body immune system destroys the insulin producing pancreatic cells i.e., beta cells. Symptoms and signs of type 1 diabetics are dehydration, weight-loss, increased thirst, frequent urination, they would experience extreme hunger, fatigue, blurred vision etc.

• Type 2 diabetics:

It is also called as non-insulin dependent diabetics. According to the latest new about 90% to 95% of people around the world are affected by this type of diabetics.The affected individuals would mostly experience all the symptoms and signs same as type 1 diabetics, but they also suffer from two more symptoms i.e., slow healing wounds or frequent infection and appearance of dark path on skin.

• Gestational diabetics:

This type of diabetics is only seen in pregnant women.The blood sugar level becomes very high during pregnancy and goes back to normal after delivery. This can cause problem to the baby , as baby can grow very large. It would become a great risk for you and your baby.

Certain test like urine analysis , fasting blood glucose level, hemoglobin A1c test, oral glucose tolerance test etc., will be conducted by your physician these tests will help you confirm the type of diabetes your suffering from.

But there is no cure found for this disease. In future it may be cured. But certain researches show that, if proper care is taken during childhood , diabetics can be controlled i.e., by having a balanced diet to keep blood sugar level, cholesterol etc., normal.

Yea, of course if not treated well Diabetics can be a great cause of death. The diabetic patients life expectancy gets reduced , the more careless they are. The cause of death can be kidney failure, heart attack, peripheral passage damage leading to stroke , they are caused because the high level of sugar destroys the blood vessels everywhere in the body. The more high the blood sugar level, more is the damage caused.
