Know the Symptoms of Diabetes and Cure It

When glucose begins to accumulate in the blood stream a series of symptoms of diabetes will be manifested. While these symptoms of diabetes may not conclusively prove diabetes, the presence of any of the symptoms of diabetes logically leads you to do a blood glucose test.

The instant we hear that someone in our family has diabetes we begin to worry and with sound reasons too after all, diabetes is very hereditary and can run through families. This article gives you a clear picture of the symptoms of diabetes, its causes and treatment.
There are three types of diabetes

1. Pre-diabetic stage
2. Diabetes Type 2
3. Diabetes Type 1

You are Pre-diabetic if your blood sugar is a bit higher than normal and Blood glucose tests reveal that it happens on several occasions. Diabetes Type 2 is the next stage i.e. your blood glucose is habitually higher than normal either due to impaired insulin production or inability of your blood cells to utilize insulin. Diabetes Type 1 is when your body does not produce insulin leading to accumulation of glucose in your blood.

Symptoms of Pre-diabetic and Diabetes Type 2:

• Fatigue
• Thirst
• Excess urination
• Excessive hunger

Few causes of diabetes are:

1.Hereditary or Inherited Traits: It is strongly believed that due to some genes which pass from one generation to another, a person can inherit diabetes.

2. Age: Increased age is a factor which gives more possibility than in younger age.

3. Poor Diet: Improper nutrition, low protein and fiber intake, high intake of refined products are the expected reasons for developing diabetes.

4. Obesity and Fat Distribution: Being overweight means increased insulin resistance, that is if body fat is more than 30%, BMI 25+, waist more than 35 inches in women or 40 inches in males.

5. Sedentary Lifestyle: People with sedentary lifestyle are more prone to diabetes, when compared to those who exercise thrice a week, are at low risk of falling prey to diabetes.

6. Stress: Either physical injury or emotional disturbance is frequently blamed as the initial cause of the disease.

7. Drug Induced: Clozapine (Clozaril), olanzapine (Zyprexa), risperidone (Risperdal), quetiapine (Seroquel) and ziprasidone (Geodon) are known to induce this lethal disease.

8. Infection: Some of the strephylococci is suppose to be responsible factor for infection in pancreas.

9 .Hypertension: It had been reported in many studies that there is direct relation between high systolic pressure and diabetes.

As symptoms of diabetes tend to show up much later than the condition occurs in your body, it is advisable to have your blood sugar levels diagnosed periodically.
Even if there are natural remedies that have been developed for the treatment for diabetes, insulin injections and implantable insulin pumps are the most sought out ones. Type 1 diabetes can be treated with exercise, insulin and a balanced diet. Type 2 diabetes is first treated with weight reduction, a diabetic diet and exercise. Weight reduction and exercising increases the body’s sensitivity to insulin, thus controlling blood sugar elevations.
When these methods fail to lower the blood sugar levels, oral medications are used. If oral diabetes medications are insufficient and do not help lower the glucose levels in blood, insulin treatment is used
