Diabetes

The symptoms of diabetes depend on how high your blood sugar is. Some people, especially those with prediabetes or type 2 diabetes, may have no symptoms. In type 1 diabetes, symptoms usually develop quickly and become more severe.

• I'm thirstier than usual.
• Frequent urination.
• Effortless weight loss.
• Presence of ketones in urine. Ketones are a by-product of muscle and fat loss that occurs when not enough insulin is available.
• Fatigue and weakness.
• Irritability or other mood swings.
• Blurred eyes.
• Wounds heal slowly.
• Has many infections, including gum, skin, and vaginal infections.

To understand diabetes, it is important to understand how the body normally uses glucose.
How Insulin Works
Insulin is a hormone secreted by glands behind and under the stomach (pancreas).

• The pancreas secretes insulin into the bloodstream.
• Insulin circulates and sugar is taken up into cells.
• Insulin lowers the amount of sugar in the bloodstream.
• As blood sugar levels fall, so does pancreatic insulin secretion.
• The Role of Glucose
  Glucose is the energy source for the cells that make up muscle and other tissues.
• Glucose is obtained from her two main sources, food and liver.
• Sugar is absorbed into the bloodstream and enters cells with the help of insulin.
• The liver stores and produces glucose.
• When the blood sugar level is low. B. If you haven't eaten in a while, your liver breaks down stored glycogen into glucose. This keeps blood sugar levels within normal limits.
• The exact cause of most types of diabetes is unknown. In either case, sugar accumulates in the bloodstream. This is because the pancreas does not produce enough insulin.

Type 1 diabetes cannot be prevented. But making healthy lifestyle choices that help manage prediabetes, type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes can also help prevent them.
