What are the symptoms of diabetes?
The
signs and symptoms of diabetes are too many but the most important and
most noted by the rights are excessive thirst and urination a lot,
especially at night. Often does not appear on the patient's symptoms indicate a specific disease. Disease may be detected when a medical examination
The symptoms can be understood as follows:
Frequent urination
Because of the presence of a large amount of sugar in the urine are put large amounts of water with
Frequent thirst
This is because the put large amounts of water in the urine
Dryness of the tongue, mouth, and skin with fatigue and lethargy
If this is not drinking enough water to compensate for the amount raised in the urine
Weight loss or decline
The loss of weight is one of the early symptoms of diabetes. Ask
a multiplicity of sugar in the urine makes the patient's body begins
forced consumption of fats and grease stored in his body and the weight
starts to decline.
Plus or a sense of insatiable hunger due to excessive metabolic imbalance in the body
Then comes the following symptoms that should raise the interest to investigate the possible existence of diabetes:
Vision problems (blurred eye) and poor eyesight
Itching, especially in the genital area
Sugar
substance that helps the growth of bacteria for infections that abound
in the moist areas of the body such as the reproductive organs
(especially the women), and skin. It also helps to reduce the body's resistance against pathogens in other parts of the body.
Delay in healing of wounds and bruises when they occur (foot ulcers)
Sometimes
the patient feels the need to breathe quickly, like a hungry air (this
happens if some chemical reactions in the body have produced so-called
acetone, which irritates the centers in the brain responsible for
regulating the speed and depth of breathing)
Problems
related to the nervous system (peripheral nerves) such as Baltnmal
feeling (numbness) in the extremities, especially the lower limbs and
there may be loss of sensation in the soles of the feet
ED and be clear in males
Born large size limit is abnormal in women, or repeated projections in pregnancy for no apparent reason
In
some cases the patient can come a complaint with angina due to
hardening of the vessels of the heart and thus myocardial ischemia or
infarction (stroke). As well as the vessel in the brain, skin, and here causes skin ulcers on the rise in sugar
What is the cause of diabetes?
This question most frequently asked questions on the tongues of the people. Despite
the many studies and developed, which relies on genetic studies of
genes remains a mystery some of the features, and the reasons for this
disease. But it certainly has become the frequency of incidence of diabetes in the family. It can be said that the sugar in the human genetic breeds and has a susceptibility to diabetes. This readiness potential no one can predict when that will translate to the real disease. And often this happens. Following
a strong nervous shock (sadness, joy, horror, or disaster) or in women
during pregnancy, or infection with severe inflammatory or overeating
and obesity, among others.
It
may be caused by an excess of obesity to the extent that the pancreas
can not produce enough insulin to deal with excess sugar in the blood. Or may be the reason has to do with destruction of beta cells in islands of Langerhans in the pancreas. This
destruction may be complete or in part, hence the types of treatment
depends on the amount of the remaining active cells in the pancreas.
Some
explain the disease that the amounts of insulin secreted by the
pancreas, but there is enough in the blood or body things prevent
insulin from doing its duty, and therefore remains a high sugar in the
blood.
Table of classification of diabetes
1. Type I or insulin dependent diabetes Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or IDDM shortcut
2. Type II diabetes or insulin is not supported on Non-Insulin Dependent Diabetes Mellitus or NIDDM shortcut
3. Secondary Diabetes Secondary Diabetes
* Pancreatic lesions (inflammation - fibrosis - a tumor - excision)
* Hormonal (pituitary lesions, adrenal or thyroid)
* The causes of drug
* Disruption of insulin receptor
* Some genetic syndromes for
* Gestational diabetes
4. Genetic disorders in the insulin receptor (rare)
How is it diagnosed?
Now the important question arises when is said that this person has diabetes?
Diagnosis
depends on measuring the percentage of sugar in the blood, and said to
this man's (non-pregnant women) have diabetes if they:
1
- percentage of sugar in the random sample is higher than 200 mg / dl
or 100 ml (11.1 mmol / L) with a descriptive symptoms of diabetes such
as frequent urination, frequent thirst and rapid weight loss.
2 - blood sugar on an empty stomach (fasting) for more than one time higher than 140 mg / dl or 100 ml (7.8 mmol / L)
3
- blood sugar on an empty stomach (fasting) is less than 140 mg / 100
ml (115 to 140) with a high sugar concentration during the tolerance
test glucose by mouth for more than or equal to 200 mg / 100 ml (11.1
mmol / l ) in the two samples, one two hours after the intake of glucose
Note:
To convert numbers from mmol / L to mg / 100 cc or 100 mm or dL (as we
see in some of the medical reports), we multiply the number listed in
milliseconds Mall of the number 18 for number expressed as a m gram / 100 cc.
Domestic sugar tests
1 - Examination of the urine
This
old way - and the talk where what we see in the market of private
tapes, as the patient puts some drops of urine on the part of these
tapes, and after about a minute compare the color of ribbon with the
colors found on a pack of tapes. If the urine contains sugar, the color of tape changed. Can be compared to the degree of change in the color spectrum on a pack of tapes.
This method has its problems, and mistakes:
* It depends on the patient's experience in reading the change in the color of the tape.
*
It would indicate the amount of sugar in the urine - which may be Combined time ago in the bladder - and therefore it does not represent
the reality of the level of blood sugar at that moment. This
is in addition to that sugar appears in the urine if it exceeds the
rate of sugar in the blood glucose 180 mg, which exceeds the so-called
reduction of the private renal threshold.
In
some people, this limit is the number listed above as may be higher,
especially in the elderly, or less than that, especially in young
people. And therefore does not reflect the fact that the level of sugar in the blood. This is a urine test that way initially, and be sure of the results of blood tests.
Blood test
This is done either at home with modern equipment which depends on the point of the blood of the finger above the bar special. If
a person is infected with a rise in the level of sugar, the examination
shows that either change the color of the tape or read the result by
the same device as in modern electronic equipment.
Of
Msauy this type of testing that needs to be trained to conduct
screening and precision in executing the instructions with each device
must also take into account that the battery that operates the device
safe and must warn that it is to be sure of the validity of the device
by comparing its results with the results of the examination carried out
by specialists good laboratory
