know about diabetes?2.Why is diabetes viewed as a modern epidemic?3.How to prevent diabetes as early as possible?,Introduction,Diabetes mellitus is often referred to simply as diabetes(Greek:to pass through).And Mellitus(Latin,meaning honey,is a reference to the sweet taste of the urine.)Diabetes mellitus is a syndrome of disordered metabolism,usually due to a combination of hereditary and environmental causes,resulting in abnormally high blood sugar levels(hyperglycemia).,Blood glucose levels are controlled by a complex interaction of multiple chemicals and hormones in the body,including the hormone insulin made in the beta cells of the pancreas.Diabetes mellitus refers to the group of diseases that lead to high blood glucose levels due to defects in either insulin secretion or insulin action in the body.,Diabetes develops due to a diminished production of insulin(in type1)or resistance to its effects(in type2 and gestational).Both lead to hyperglycemia,which largely causes the acute signs of diabetes:excessive urine production,resulting compensatory thirst and increased fluid intake,blurred vision,unexplained weight loss,lethargy,and changes in energy metabolism.,All forms of diabetes have been treatable since insulin became medically available in 1921,but there is no cure.The injections by a syringe,insulin pump,or insulin pen deliver insulin,which is a basic treatment of type1 diabetes.Type2 is managed with a combination of dietary treatment,exercise,medications and insulin supplementation.,Signs and symptoms,The classical triad of diabetes symptoms is polyuria,polydipsia and polyphagia,which are,respectively,frequent urination,increased thirst and consequent increased fluid intake,and increased appetite.Symptoms may develop quite rapidly(weeks or months)in type1 diabetes,particularly in children.However,in type2 diabetes symptoms usually develop much more slowly and may be subtle or completely absent.,Type1 diabetes may also cause a rapid yet significant weight loss(despite normal or even increased eating)and irreducible mental fatigue.All of these symptoms except weight loss can also manifest in type2 diabetes in patients whose diabetes is poorly controlled.,Overview of the most significant symptoms of diabetes.,Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes share similar symptoms caused by chronically high blood glucose levels.Symptoms of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes include:excessive thirst frequent urination weight loss increased appetite unexplained fatigue slow healing cuts,bruises,and wounds,frequent or lingering infections(e.g.,urinary tract infection)mood swings and irritability blurred vision headache high blood pressure dry and itchy skin tingling,numbness,or burning in hands or feet,Many Patients are asymptomaticSymptoms when present are:PolydipsiaPolyphagiaPolyuriaweight lossTirednessRecurrent skin infections,Complications Diabetes and its treatments can cause many complications.Acute complications(hypoglycemia,ketoacidosis,)may occur if the disease is not adequately controlled.Serious long-term complications include cardiovascular disease,chronic renal failure,retinal damage(which can lead to blindness),nerve damage(of several kinds),and microvascular damage,which may cause erectile dysfunction and poor wound healing.Poor healing of wounds,particularly of the feet,can lead to gangrene,and possibly to amputation.,Diabetes Complications,Having diabetes increases your risk for many serious complications.,Heart Disease(cardiovascular disease),Diabetes heart,Blindness(retinopathy),NeovascularizationFiber proliferationRetinal detachment,Nerve Damage(neuropathy),Diabeticneuropathy,Kidney Damage(nephropathy),Diabetic kidney,Infection,MACROANGIOPATHY,MICROCIRCULATORY DISTURBANCE,NEUROPATHY,CATARACT,Acromelic gangrene,Foot ulcers are a common complication of the diabetic foot.They allow a portal for infection to occur.,So,what can we do?,Adequate treatment of diabetes,as well as increased emphasis on blood pressure control and lifestyle factors(such as not smoking and maintaining a healthy body weight),may improve the risk profile of most of the chronic complications.In the developed world,diabetes is the most significant cause of adult blindness in the non-elderly and the leading cause of non-traumatic amputation in adults,and diabetic nephropathy is the main illness requiring renal dialysis in the United States.,Epidemiology,In 2000,according to the World Health Organization,at least 171 million people worldwide suffer from diabetes,or 2.8%of the population.Its incidence is increasing rapidly,and it is estimated that by the year 2030,this number will almost double.Diabetes mellitus occurs throughout the world,but is more common(especially type2)in the more developed countries.The greatest increase in prevalence is,however,expected to occur in Asia and Africa,where most patients will likely be found by 2030.,The increase in incidence of diabetes in developing countries follows the trend of urbanization and lifestyle changes,perhaps most importantly a Western-style diet.This has suggested an environmental(i.e.,dietary)effect,but there is little understanding of the mechanism at present,though there is much speculation,some of it most compellingly presented.,For at least 20 years,diabetes rates in North America have been increasing substantially.In 2008 there were about 24 million people with diabetes in the United States alone,from those 5.7 million people remain undiagnosed.Other 57 million people are estimated to have pre-diabetes.,Pre-diabetes is a serious medical condition that can be treated.The good news is that people with pre-diabetes can prevent the development of type 2 diabetes by making changes in their diet and increasing their level of physical activity.They may even be able to return their blood glucose levels to the normal range.,Prevention,First,Three levels:,1)To the healthy bodies,reduce the risk of getting diabetes.,2)To the diabetics,be sure that“early to find,early to treat,avoid complications as possible as they can”.,3)To the ones with complications,engage to reduce the mortality.,Second,Prevention,Three more and one less:,Read books,watch TV,and listen to broadcast about diabetes.,Learn more,Eat less,Intake less food and avoid the food with high lipid.No smoking.No drink.,Third,Prevention,Exercise more,Relax more,Examine the blood sugar regularly:,People especially elders should examine the blood sugar regularly whether they have relevant symptoms or not.,Increase the time and amount of exercise to avoid fat.,Keep optimistic,and combine exertion with rest.,Understanding the Text,Para.1cardinal
