A diabetes diagnosis means the body cannot regulate blood sugar due to inadequate insulin production from the pancreas — a long, flat gland that sits behind the stomach in the upper abdomen. The results for a patient with diabetes can be vision loss, and nerve and damage to other organs, unless blood sugar is controlled using medication or the patient undergoes a pancreas transplant.

“A pancreas transplant is the only cure for diabetes. It does not control diabetes. It cures diabetes,” says Dr. Tambi Jarmi, a transplantation medicine physician at Mayo Clinic. “I find myself having a hard time convincing a diabetic patient after they receive the pancreas transplant that they are cured ― they’re not diabetic. They don’t believe it.”

Diabetic ketoacidosis, DKA, is an ACUTE and potentially life-threatening complication of diabetes mellitus. DKA is commonly associated with type 1 but type 2 diabetics are also susceptible. DKA is caused by a critically LOW INSULIN level and is usually triggered when diabetic patients undergo further STRESS, such as infections, inadequate insulin administration, or cardiovascular diseases. It may also occur as the FIRST presentation of diabetes in people who did NOT know they had diabetes and therefore did NOT have insulin treatment.
Glucose is the MAJOR energy source of the body. It comes from digestion of carbohydrates and is carried by the bloodstream to various organs. Insulin is a hormone produced by beta-cells of the pancreas and is responsible for DRIVING glucose INTO cells. When insulin is DEFICIENT, glucose can NOT enter the cells; it stays in the blood, causing HIGH blood sugar levels while the cells are STARVED. In response to this metabolic starvation, the body INcreases the levels of counter-regulatory hormones. These hormones have 2 major effects that are responsible for clinical presentation of DKA:
– First, they produce MORE glucose in an attempt to supply energy to the cells. This is done by breaking down glycogen into glucose, and synthesizing glucose from NON-carbohydrate substrates such as proteins and lipids. However, as the cells CANNOT use glucose, this response ONLY results in MORE sugar in the blood. As blood sugar level EXCEEDS the ability of the kidneys to reabsorb, it overflows into urine, taking water and electrolytes along with it in a process known as OSMOTIC DIURESIS. This results in large volumes of urine, dehydration and excessive thirst.
– Second, they activate lipolysis and fatty acid metabolism for ALTERNATIVE fuel. In the liver, metabolism of fatty acids as an alternative energy source produces KETONE bodies. One of these is acetone, a volatile substance that gives DKA patient’s breath a characteristic SWEET smell. Ketone bodies, unlike fatty acids, can cross the blood-brain barrier and therefore can serve as fuel for the brain during glucose starvation. They are, however, ACIDIC, and when produced in LARGE amounts, overwhelm the buffering capacity of blood plasma, resulting in metabolic ACIDOSIS. As the body tries to reduce blood acidity by EXHALING MORE carbon dioxide, a deep and labored breathing, known as Kussmaul breathing may result. Another compensation mechanism for high acidity MOVES hydrogen ions INTO cells in exchange for potassium. This leads to INcreased potassium levels in the blood; but as potassium is constantly excreted in urine during osmotic diuresis, the overall potassium level in the body is eventually depleted. A blood test MAY indicate too much potassium, or hyperkalemia, but once INSULIN treatment starts, potassium moves BACK into cells and hypokalemia may result instead. For this reason, blood potassium level is monitored throughout treatment and potassium replacement is usually required together with intravenous fluid and insulin as primary treatment for DKA.

Gestational diabetes is a transient form of diabetes mellitus some women may acquire during pregnancy. Diabetes refers to high levels of blood glucose, commonly known as blood sugar. Glucose is the major energy source of the body. It comes from digestion of carbohydrates and is carried by the bloodstream to the body’s cells. But glucose cannot enter the cells on its own; to do so, it requires assistance from a hormone produced by the pancreas called insulin. Insulin induces the cells to take up glucose, thereby removing it from the blood. Diabetes happens when insulin is either deficient or not used effectively. Without insulin, glucose cannot enter the cells; it stays in the blood, causing high blood sugar levels.
During pregnancy, a temporary organ develops to connect the mother and the fetus, called the placenta. The placenta supplies the fetus with nutrients and oxygen, as well as produces a number of hormones that work to maintain pregnancy. Some of these hormones impair the action of insulin, making it less effective. This insulin-counteracting effect usually begins at about 20 to 24 weeks of pregnancy. The effect intensifies as the placenta grows larger, and becomes most prominent in the last couple of months. Usually, the pancreas is able to adjust by producing more insulin, but in some cases, the amount of placental hormones may become too overwhelming for the pancreas to compensate, and gestational diabetes results.
Any woman can develop gestational diabetes, but those who are overweight or have family or personal history of diabetes or prediabetes are at higher risks. Other risk factors include age, and having previously given birth to large babies.
While gestational diabetes usually resolves on its own after delivery, complications may arise if the condition is severe and/or poorly managed.
Because of the constant high glucose levels in the mother’s blood, the fetus may receive too much nutrients and grow too large, complicating the birth process, and a C-section may be needed for delivery.
High levels of glucose also stimulate the baby’s pancreas to produce more insulin than usual. Shortly after delivery, as the baby continues to have high insulin levels but no longer receives sugar from the mother, the baby’s blood sugar levels can drop suddenly and become exceedingly low, causing seizures. The newborn’s blood sugar level must therefore be monitored and corrected with prompt feeding, or if necessary, with intravenous glucose.
High blood sugar may also increase the mother’s blood pressure and risks of preterm birth. Future diabetes in both mother and child is also more likely to occur.
Gestational diabetes can be successfully managed, or even prevented, with healthy diets, physical exercise, and by keeping a healthy weight before and during pregnancy. In some cases, however, medication or insulin injection may be needed.

One evening a young boy, Pâris (9), has a nightly hypo – meaning that his blood sugar drops too low. It is a very stressful and scary experience, both for Pâris and his family. The whole family gets involved and his parents must make the difficult decision on whether to give their son a glucagon injection or not.

This is a short clip from the documentary film Safely in the Rainbow, which is filmed over 16 years. Most of this particular scene was filmed by Pâris’s sister, Antje, who was only 11 years old at the time.

Watch the full film here: https://youtu.be/d-_X-pOKr8k

The film is produced by Wendy and Frédéric Mangeant in collaboration with Novo Nordisk.

Your diet plays an important role in managing diabetes. One reason is that the food you eat on a day to day basis has a direct impact on your blood sugar levels. For instance, high carb foods raise your blood sugar levels. The digestive system breaks down the digestible ones into sugar, which enters the blood. But then again, not all carbohydrates are bad. Complex carbohydrates like whole grains take longer to digest while simple carbs like white flour and refined sugar may cause sudden spikes in your blood sugar levels.
Indian foods are deeply rooted in history and are probably one of the oldest foods known to mankind. Traditional Indian foods are extremely diverse, just as its geography. Many staple foods, species and vegetables in the Indian diet are very good for people with diabetes.
So, in this video we will be discussing 5 such traditional Indian foods that have been scientifically proven to have health benefits for people suffering from diabetes.

Diabetic neuropathy is nerve damage caused by diabetes. It is the most common diabetic complication, affecting at least 50% of all patients.
Chronic high blood sugar levels cause progressive injury to neurons. Sensory neurons are usually the first to be affected, followed by autonomic neurons that control internal organs. Rarely, motor neurons that activate voluntary movements may also be impaired later in the disease, albeit to a lesser extent.
There are several types of diabetic neuropathy. A patient may develop more than one type at a time.
The most common is peripheral neuropathy. It’s also called “distal symmetric polyneuropathy” because it typically involves multiple peripheral nerves, on both sides of the body, and affects the longest sensory axons that convey sensations from the feet, legs, and hands. Symptoms develop on the body in that order and include numbness, tingling, or burning sensation, which usually worsen at night. Sensitivity to pain can either be exaggerated, or, on the contrary, lost. Loss of sensation leads to increased risk of painless injuries, which often go unnoticed and therefore untreated. This, together with slow healing caused by diabetes, can turn minor cuts or blisters into serious infections.
Autonomic neuropathy affects nerves that control activities of internal organs.
In cardiac autonomic neuropathy, nerves that regulate heart rate and blood pressure are damaged. As a result, the body reacts more slowly to change of position, and patients may feel lightheadedness when standing up. Other signs include rapid heart rates, or sudden, unexplained changes in heart rate.
In the digestive system, nerve damage may cause nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, difficulty swallowing, slow stomach emptying, and bowel problems.
Neuropathy in the urinary and reproductive systems may lead to urinary retention, hesitancy, urinary incontinence, and sexual dysfunctions.
Nerve damage in the eyes can cause slower adjustment to changes in light and darkness.
Nerve damage in sweat glands may result in either absence of sweat or heavy sweating, especially at night; different parts of the body may also produce sweat differently.
Another effect of autonomic neuropathy is hypoglycemia unawareness, meaning the body is unaware when blood sugar levels are low. Warning signs such as hunger or dizziness cannot be felt, and patients may pass out before taking steps to increase their blood sugar.
Mononeuropathy, or focal neuropathy, is dysfunction of a single nerve, typically due to entrapment. A common example is carpal tunnel syndrome, in which the median nerve is compressed as it passes through a narrow tunnel in the wrist, causing pain, numbness, and tingling in the hand. Damage to a cranial nerve can cause problems with vision or loss of control of facial muscles.
Proximal neuropathy is a rare type of nerve damage affecting the thighs, hip, buttock, and occasionally, the abdomen or chest, typically on one side of the body. Symptoms include severe pain in the affected areas, and thigh muscle weakness and wasting.
Diabetic neuropathy can be prevented by effectively controlling blood sugar levels. Managing diabetes also helps slow the progression of damage.
Treatments aim to relieve pain and symptoms, to restore functions and prevent further complications. Treatments vary depending on the affected organs.
