The term diabetes is a short form of diabetes mellitus. Diabetes means \u2018to pass through\u2019, in Greek. And mellitus comes from Latin, meaning \u2018sweet\u2019. Hence <a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Diabetes#:~:text=Diabetes%20mellitus%20(DM)%2C%20commonly,increased%20thirst%2C%20and%20increased%20appetite.\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">diabetes mellitus<\/a> refers to the sweet urine that people with diabetes pass. That\u2019s why it\u2019s often called the sugar disease. For some patients especially if control is poor, however, there is nothing really sweet about diabetes. It\u2019s a long-term, debilitating disease, that has almost no cure. It can only be managed.<\/p>\n<p>Diabetes is a complex disease. The \u201cclassic\u201d signs with which people visit their doctors, generally include: excessive thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, numbness or tingling of extremities, weight gain and fatigue. Although about 85 per cent people get type 2 diabetes, scientists now say diabetes is actually several clusters of diseases, with significantly different characteristics. For easy understanding, here is an <strong>A-Z of Diabetes<\/strong>\u2014to clarify basic points and the most common questions asked by patients.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>A FOR ADDICTION TO SUGAR<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It turns out that extremely sweet or fatty foods captivate the brain in much the same way that cocaine and gambling do. One can become a sugar addict.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>B FOR BEFORE DIABETES<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Or Prediabetes, meaning when blood sugar level is higher than it should be but not high enough for a doctor to diagnose diabetes. Without intervention, it&#8217;s likely to progress to type 2 diabetes within 10 years.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>C FOR FOR CURE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The bad news is, there is no cure for diabetes. If left untreated, it can bring a universe of complications that can even be fatal: blindness to amputations, kidney failure to elevated cholesterol, hypertension to vessel damage, heart attacks to strokes. The good news is: diabetes easily diagnosable, preventable and manageable and along and healthy life even upto 100 years of age is possible.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>D FOR DRUG THERAPY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Newer drugs are appearing every day. And they are all available in India. Unlike the old drugs, they don\u2019t cause risky drop in blood sugar, help in preventing weight gain and can reduce risk of heart and kidney diseases, the biggest killers in diabetes.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>E FOR EPIDEMIC<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>An explosive increase of diabetes has taken place in India. In the last three decades, it has gone up by nearly 40 per cent in adults above age 20. Today, it is one of the top 10 most dangerous diseases afflicting the population.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>F FOR FOOD<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Right food is the key to controlling and preventing diabetes. Intake of sugar, especially refined and added sugar, saturated fats, fatty foods, deep fried foods; canned, ready-to-eat and preserved foods, sugar-laden beverages and refined cereals, need to be avoided.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>G FOR GLUCOSE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Glucose is the word for sweet in Greek. Today, glucose stands for the type of sugar one gets from food, and which the body uses for energy. As it travels through bloodstream to cells, it&#8217;s called blood glucose or blood sugar in layman\u2019s terms.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>H FOR HOSPITAL<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>More than stroke, heart attack, kidney transplant, nerve damage, or loss of vision, what puts people in the hospital most often is a foot infection. It\u2019s largely under-reported yet one of the most serious complications of the disease.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>I FOR INSULIN<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, that moves glucose from the blood to the cells for energy and storage. One gets diabetes when the pancreas does not make enough insulin and\/or the cells do not respond to insulin normally. The discovery of insulin in 1921 by Canadian doctors\u2014Frederick Banting and Charles Best\u2014transformed diabetes into a disorder which allows one to live a long and productive life.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>J FOR JUVENILE ONSET DIABETES<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Commonly called Type 1 diabetes, it is usually diagnosed in children and young adults, although it can occur at any time. In this diabetes, the body attacks itself and destroys own insulin-producing cells. Hence, there is no insulin in the body, to deliver glucose to cells. People with type 1 diabetes must use insulin, to manage their diabetes.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>K FOR KETOSIS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Diabetic ketoacidosis is a serious medical condition that can result from very high levels of ketones in the blood which can even result in diabetes coma, if untreated.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>L FOR LAB TEST<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Improvement in the medical device industry now allows accurate and inexpensive tests for monitoring blood glucose at any time. Most importantly, the <a href=\"https:\/\/oldlive.drmohans.com\/control-diabetes-it-is-easy-through-hba1c-testing\/\">glycosylated haemoglobin A1c<\/a> (HbA1c) test, that can streamline monitoring the average blood sugar levels for three months) has now emerged as a gold standard.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>M FOR MANY TYPES<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Researchers are now talking not just about type 1 and type 2 but many more types of diabetes. For instance, type 3 (when brain neurones do not respond to insulin); Maturity Onset Diabetes of the Young (abnormal insulin secretion due to mutation in a single gene); <a href=\"https:\/\/oldlive.drmohans.com\/what-is-neonatal-diabetes-mellitus-ndm\/\">Neonatal Diabetes Mellitus<\/a> (in the first six to 12 months of life, again due to mutation in single gene) etc.<\/p>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>N FOR NEUROPATHY<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Diabetes can damage the nerves and cause a complication called neuropathy. This generally begins as loss of sensation in the toes, and possibly fingers. If left untreated, neuropathy can involve the whole foot which becomes totally denied of sensation.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>O FOR OBESITY<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It is the biggest enemy of diabetes. The more fatty tissue one has, the more resistant the cells are, to insulin.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>P FOR POLLUTION<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Scientists have now revealed a new reason to worry: air pollution, especially the ultra-fine PM2.5 pollutants, can impair the body\u2019s ability to process sugar and triggering diabetes.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>R FOR RISK FACTORS<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<h3>These are: being overweight or obese; having a family member with diabetes; having high blood pressure; abnormal cholesterol; being physically inactive<\/h3>\n<p><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>S FOR SCREENING<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n<p>Screening for type 2 diabetes in people who have no symptoms is recommended for: overweight children who have other risk factors for diabetes (from age 10), overweight adults (BMI greater than 25) who have other risk factors, and adults over age 45.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>T FOR TOTAL CARBOHYDRATE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>It was once assumed that desserts and sweets raise blood sugar levels faster and higher than fruits, vegetables or &#8220;starchy&#8221; foods, such as potatoes, pasta or whole-grain bread. New research on diabetes nutrition shows total carbohydrates especially refined carbohydrates are what counts as they add to the \u2018Glycaemia Load\u2019.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>U FOR UNCONTROLLED<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>When blood sugar is not controlled, blood becomes dense and thick, making one thirsty all the time\u2014as kidneys work harder, driving one to the washroom on and off. As sugar levels rise further, one needs insulin injections to stay alive.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>V FOR VASCULAR DISEASE<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Too much sugar is corrosive, like battery acid, in blood vessels. As blood turns thicker and syrupy with sugar, it scars arteries and veins\u2014the reason why people with diabetes often end up with heart, brain and kidney damage.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>W FOR WEIGHT<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Physical activity controls weight, uses up glucose as energy, makes cells more sensitive to insulin<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>X FOR SYNDROME X<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Three of five medical conditions\u2014abdominal obesity, high blood pressure, high blood sugar, high triglycerides, and low HDL (good cholesterol)\u2014are believed to be the interlinked risk factors for diabetes and heart disease. This is called as; Metabolic Syndrome\u2019 or \u2018Syndrome X\u2019<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Y FOR YOUTH<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>The damage of diabetes depends on how old a person is. In younger people, vision problems, foot ulcers, kidney diseases and skin conditions are more common. In older people, heart attacks and strokes arrive more quickly.<\/p>\n<h3><span style=\"color: #003366;\"><strong>Z FOR ZZZ\u2026<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n<p>Sleep. Yes, new research suggests that the body function best when eating and sleeping rhythms are aligned. Inadequate, or poor quality, can trigger diabetes, new research reveals.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>What is Diabetes?
