Diabetes – Causes, Symptoms and Treatment Options

diabetes remedy No Comments »

Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat. Insulin is a hormone that helps the glucose get into your cells to give them energy. With type 1 diabetes, your body does not make insulin. With type 2 diabetes, the more common type, your body does not make or use insulin well. Without enough insulin, the glucose stays in your blood. You can also have prediabetes. This means that your blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be called diabetes. Having prediabetes puts you at a higher risk of getting type 2 diabetes.

Over time, having too much glucose in your blood can cause serious problems. It can damage your eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Diabetes can also cause heart disease, stroke and even the need to remove a limb. Pregnant women can also get diabetes, called gestational diabetes.

A blood test can show if you have diabetes. Exercise, weight control and sticking to your meal plan can help control your diabetes. You should also monitor your glucose level and take medicine if prescribed.

Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases among children and teens.
Young people who develop diabetes are at a higher risk of health challenges throughout their lives. Being able to recognize the signs and symptoms can help get an earlier diagnosis and ultimately a chance of a better outcome. So what should parents be looking for? Symptoms of Type 1 diabetes tend to develop rapidly in young people; whereas Type 2 diabetes symptoms develop over time.

Diabetic kidney disease, or diabetic nephropathy, is kidney disease caused by diabetes. It’s a very common diabetic complication, affecting about one third of people with diabetes type 1, and half of those with diabetes type 2. Diabetic kidney disease is responsible for most of the excess mortality associated with diabetes.
Because the kidneys remove metabolic wastes, control blood pH, regulate fluid and electrolyte balance, as well as produce several hormones; loss of kidney function results in accumulation of toxic wastes, electrolyte imbalances, and a number of other health problems.
The disease develops slowly over time, progressing from renal insufficiency to end-stage renal failure. Often, initial loss of renal tissue does not produce any symptoms. Symptoms typically appear when a significant portion of kidney function is already lost. The ability to concentrate urine is usually the first to be impaired, resulting in frequent trips to the bathroom, especially at night. Other early signs include fatigue, loss of appetite, and decreased mental ability.
Chronic high blood glucose levels, together with high blood pressure caused by diabetes, bring damage to tiny blood vessels in the kidneys, affecting their functions. Cellular degeneration in the functional units of the kidneys, the nephrons, in particular the podocytes of renal glomeruli, further contributes to the impairment of renal functions.
Diabetes, especially when poorly managed, is the biggest risk factor for chronic kidney disease. Other risk factors are the same as those for high blood pressure and include smoking, having high cholesterol levels, and being overweight.
Because initial loss of renal tissue does not produce any symptoms, it is important for diabetic patients to test annually for kidney functions. The tests typically include blood and urine analysis.
Prevention and management strategies consist of controlling blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and cholesterol levels; all of which can be achieved with a combination of lifestyle changes and medications.
Lifestyle measures typically include a healthy diet with low salt intake, increased physical activity, weight management, and smoking cessation.
Among all blood pressure lowering medications, ACE inhibitors and angiotensin receptor blockers, which block the renin–angiotensin–aldosterone system, work best to protect kidney functions.
End-stage kidney disease requires dialysis or kidney transplantation.

Know the Warning Signs of Diabetes

diabetes remedy No Comments »

23 million Americans already have it, but another 5 million don’t even know they have diabetes. This episode of Health Matters looks at the warning signs of diabetes.

Early signs and symptoms of low blood sugar – Dr. Ramesh Babu N

type 2 diabetes No Comments »

Low blood sugar levels common in type 1 and type to diabetes, Symptoms may be sweating ,trembling of hands and sometimes patient may go unconscious.

In this video I discuss what is blood sugar level, and what causes high and low blood sugar levels. We also look at insulin’s role in blood sugar levels, and some of the risk factors for developing type 2 diabetes.

Transcript (partial)

In this video we are going to discuss what blood sugar or blood glucose is, and why it is important.

Blood sugar level is the amount of glucose(sugar) present in the blood. Our body gets glucose from some of the foods we eat.

After the digestive process, the liver releases glucose into the bloodstream, sending it to cells to be used as energy. As glucose is released into the bloodstream, blood sugar levels rise. This triggers the pancreas to release the hormone insulin, which tells the cells to open up and let the glucose in, which lowers blood sugar levels.

Excess glucose is stored as glycogen in the muscles and liver. This process happens many times throughout the day after we eat.
A normal fasting (no food for 8 hours) blood sugar level is between 70 and 99mg/dl, and a normal level two hours after eating is less than 140mg/dl.

So, why is this important? Well, there are 3 main reasons we need to be aware of our blood sugar level.

The 1st reason is that high blood sugar levels can lead to type 2 diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is when the body doesn’t use insulin properly (insulin resistance), or when the pancreas stops producing enough insulin. Over time, High blood sugar levels can put a lot of stress on the pancreas, possibly causing it to become permanently damaged. 95% of all diabetes cases in the US are type 2.

Researchers don’t fully understand why some people develop type 2 diabetes and others don’t. However, there are some factors that increase the risk.

-being overweight – the more fatty tissue you have, the more resistant your cells become to insulin.

-fat distribution – more fat storage in the abdomen increases the risk

-inactivity – Physical activity helps you control your weight, uses up glucose as energy and makes your cells more sensitive to insulin.

The 2nd reason we need to monitor our blood sugar levels is that High levels can also lead to atherosclerosis, which is hardening and narrowing of the arteries. This can block the arteries, putting blood flow at risk, which can lead to other problems.

The 3rd reason is low blood sugar levels, this is rare in non-diabetics. This can be caused by certain medications, excessive alcohol consumption, excessive exercise, and from meals high in refined carbs.

How Does Exercise Affect Blood 🩸 Sugar?

How Does Exercise Affect Blood 🩸 Sugar?

FREE report – 6 ways to tame your appetite and cravings
http://www.criticalbench.com/tamecravings/

Holistic Health Practitioner Tonya Fines discusses the impact of exercise on your blood sugar. For many people, they aren’t entirely sure what blood sugar or blood glucose levels are and why they’re important. Our activity has a tremendous effect on our bodily processes, how we feel and how we need to fuel our body prior to exercise.

When you exercise, your body requires energy from blood sugar … this is called glucose. When you do something quickly, like a sprint up the stairs your muscles and liver release glucose for fuel.

Now when you do moderate exercise for a longer time, like go on a long hike, your muscles require much more glucose. THIS helps lower blood sugar levels. Exercise lowers blood sugar over a 24-hour period, but sometimes exercise also briefly raises blood sugar following a workout.

Here’s how all of that works:

Overall, even moderate exercise, such as a nice walk, raises your heart rate, increases your breathing, and boosts muscle activity. All of these increases of your body’s systems need to be fueled, meaning, they require sugar. Some of this sugar comes from your bloodstream.

And some of it comes from glucose that is stored in your muscles and liver, and this is the key to the 24 hour blood sugar-lowering effect of exercise. Over the 24 hours following exercise your body re-stocks these reserves, slowly but steadily by sucking sugar out of your bloodstream.

So why then does exercise sometimes raise blood sugar for a short period of time? The most common way is from stress hormones. Any workout that’s greater than moderate is going to release adrenaline, which is basically pouring sugar into your system. But this doesn’t mean that that strenuous exercise is a bad thing, it just means you need to accept that you may see a slight increase in your blood sugar if you break a sweat.

The good news is that adrenaline is a short-acting sugar so your body will essentially clean it up quickly, and you’ll still get that 24 hour lowering effect from your exercise. Another reason as to how exercise can increase blood sugar has to do with the availability of insulin in your system.

If your insulin level is low, your body can’t move sugar from your blood into the cells where it’s needed. This means that your cells blind are not aware there is any sugar for them to use

When this happens they assume there is no sugar available to them so they send out signals for reserves in the liver and kidneys to be used. THIS causes a further increase in blood sugar levels that may already be too darn high to start with.
