================== ARTICLE START ==================

Diabetes is a condition where the body, or to be precise the

pancreas, loses its ability to create insulin, the chemical

necessary to regulate blood sugar levels. As we take in food, a

substance called glucose enters through the bloodstream, and it

is insulin's role to make sure that that glucose is carried to

different parts of the body, in turn fuels us with the energy

we need. Diabetes is often considered as a silent disease, much

like cancer and nearly five out of ten people are unaware that

they have diabetes.

So how did we get such a disease? A known fact about diabetes

is that it can be hereditary, especially if a family member has

a history of diabetes. Obesity is also one of the most common

factors, leading to the lack of exercise and high blood

pressure levels. US studies have shown that diabetes can also

develop when a mother gives birth to a child who weighs more

than 9 pounds.

There are two types of diabetes: The Type 1 diabetes inflicts

mostly children when the pancreas completely loses its ability

to secrete insulin. Common diabetic symptoms include excessive

thirst, frequent urination and continued weight loss despite of

excessive hunger. They begin to be insulin dependent and its

dire results may also include blindness and amputation of

certain limbs in the body.

Type Two diabetes is far more common than Type One. Its

symptoms may include those of Type One, but its leading concern

is that nearly half of diabetics may not be able to have such

symptoms and the cause of hereditary diabetes to children. They

are often considered as non-insulin dependents, in which an

excessive secretion of insulin passes through the bloodstream,

causing the body to develop a high resistance to the chemical.

The end result would be the high blood glucose content, which

can be treated with regular exercise and a high protein diet of

starch and carbohydrates.

Sadly, there is no absolute cure for diabetes of any type. The

only recommendation from doctors is to prolong life, making

sure that they would still continue to live normally. In the US

alone, nearly 200,000 deaths per year has been reported due to

diabetes.

In order to cope with diabetes, it is important to maintain

their weight and exercise regularly. Alcohol consumption can be

regulated to its utmost maximum, better if cut out completely

and smoking is an absolute health risk to both the lungs and

diabetics. Regular visits to the doctor are an absolute must in

order to check and make sure that their blood glucose levels are

on tract. Family encouragement can also do wonders for those

suffering from diabetes, helping them that there is always a

way to surpass diabetes without the fear of death. It helps

increase the quality of life among family members with

diabetes.
