General
Info :: Diabetes
Diabetes can be caused by too
little insulin, resistance to insulin, or both.
To understand diabetes, it is important to first
understand the normal process of food metabolism.
Several things happen when food is digested
- A sugar called glucose enters
the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel
for the body.
- An organ called the pancreas
makes insulin. The role of insulin is to move
glucose from the bloodstream into muscle,
fat, and liver cells, where it can be used
as fuel.
People with diabetes have high blood sugar.
This is because their pancreas does not make
enough insulin or their muscle, fat, and liver
cells do not respond to insulin normally,
or both

Type
There are three major types of
diabetes:
- Type 1 diabetes is
usually diagnosed in childhood. The body makes
little or no insulin, and daily injections of
insulin are needed to sustain life.
- Type 2 diabetes is
far more common than type 1 and makes up most
of all cases of diabetes. It usually occurs
in adulthood. The pancreas does not make enough
insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal,
often because the body does not respond well
to the insulin.
- Gestational diabetes
is high blood glucose that develops at any time
during pregnancy in a woman who does not have
diabetes.
There are many risk factors for
diabetes, including:
- A parent, brother, or sister
with diabetes
- Obesity
- Age greater than 45 years
- Some ethnic groups (particularly
African Americans, Native Americans, Asians,
Pacific Islanders, and Hispanic Americans)
- Gestational diabetes or delivering
a baby weighing more than 9 pounds
- High blood pressure
- High blood levels of triglycerides
(a type of fat molecule)
- High blood cholesterol level
- Not getting enough exercise
The American Diabetes Association
recommends that all adults over age 45 be screened
for diabetes at least every 3 years. A person
at high risk should be screened more often
