#HEALTHTALK: DIABETES
Living
life goes beyond hard work in a career that’s why it is said if you are alive hale
and healthy even without a job and @ the times of trials you should be thankful
for when there is life there is hope.
At a
certain point in ones life if a friend or an elderly person gives such an
advice, a slap is what you will deem fit for such person especially if he/she
is in a status way above your trial level but a visit to the hospital will
definitely change your way of reasoning.
An interview
conducted with Dr. Laura John, C.E.O of Herbal Fountains on health related issues
shed more light on Diabetes, a common disease threatening many lives.
What is
DIABETES MELLITUS?
This is known as a metabolic or endocrine
disease, it is very common especially in the elderly individual and it is
caused by reduced availability or reduced effectiveness of insulin.
INSULIN is
the hormone in the body produced by the pancreas gland; it is responsible for
the regulation and control of sugar in our blood. Too little insulin or
ineffective insulin will cause blood sugar to be poorly handled and metabolised
by the body and the concentration of sugar in the blood to rises and remain
high at this point, sugar may then spills over into the urine producing
GLYCOSURIA (gathering of Sugar ants on a spilled drop of the urine, of the
uncontrolled diabetes). This high level of sugar in the urine draws water from
the body by osmosis thereby increasing the urinary volume or poly-urea and
occurrence of frequency urine of which some individual complains of getting up
3 to 4 times in the night to pass urine.
Types of Diabetes
1) Maturity onset diabetes, this tends to
occur in overweight elderly individuals, often with no symptoms but in many
there has been complication of uncontrolled vascular disease affecting the
blood vessels mainly of the eyes, limbs and kidneys, infection can be
controlled by diets, drugs and other herbals.
2) Juvenile onset diabetes which tends to
occur in younger patients, it comes with severe systemic diseases apart from
the polyuria, polydipsia (thirst) and infections more commonly seen in the
adult or maturity onset types, also occurrence of malaise, fatigue, weight
loss, coma etc. The cause is unknown as there are many contributing factors
including genetic and viral. Insulin is usually required for management and very
low sugar episodes may be a complication of insulin therapy.
Diabetes
is a lifestyle induced and thus can be avoided by controlled lifestyle.

manageable level.

fast foods and soft drinks we tend to appreciate does a lot of damage to the
immunity for these ailments stem from as simple as too much sugar in the blood.

addition of sugar n other flavours rather take it naturally as they come.
