Summary Refer To Insulin & Diabetes Mellitus

Last night I was remember my old fellow in Dubai. I wandered how is she right now. Is she fine? She was a fun friend for me, we worked in different outlet but we stayed at the same flat that time. We talked about many things. She is an Arabs from Morroco, a really fun friend. But, sometimes I concerned about her because she is always taking insulin injection after she ate due to her diabetis mellitus, she has to take it. She has this diabetis mellitus in early age in 25 years old. Then, now what I do? I search in Google what is diabetes mellitus and what is insulin? Really, due to my previous post which entitled Let's Move Our Body and Mind where WHO noted that diabetes mellitus was in the Top 5 that we need to aware a lot. In this post, I want to share a bit knowledge which I can summarized from Google about what diabetes mellitus is and what insulin is. Hope it will be useful for all of us.

" Diabetes is a disorder because the pancreas doesn't produce insulin or produce insulin but not sufficient, so the patient experience hypoglycemia ( glucose level is too high )" 

" Insulin is a hormone that regulates the absorption of sugar; from liver cells to supplying energy to fat cells to be stored it ". 

Meaning is the insulin have a role-key to stimulating glucose blood uptake by the liver and the muscle cells to be burned for energy or converted as glycogen ( muscle sugar ). When and if necessary, insulin can be able to change again the glycogen into glucose to meet the needs of our body for facing physical activity or facing the thread. In the short way, insulin has an important role play to serves and keep all the networks body to obtain adequate quantities of glucose. 

Inability the body in using and storing glucose lead to weight loss and often feel tired, and cause chaos of  lipid's metabolism and can speed up the damaged to small blood vessels.

There are 2 main types of diabetes :

• Diabetes that depending on insulin. This type is categorized as the heavy one. Appeared at the age below 35 years old, between ages of 10 - 17 years old. The disease is growing very fast. The cells which producer of insulin in pancreas that may damage by the immune system suppressed itself followed by a certain virus infections. But it is noted that this type is a genetic, but once the dust of actual fact it was noted that just only few who are true affected heavy diabetes mellitus. This become worst because of ( perhaps ) affected by a viral infection that attacks the pancreas on hold several years ago.
•  Diabetes that not depending on insulin. This type of diabetes develops slowly, specially attacking those 40 years old of aged. Many has discovered by doctors due to this term on patients while doing routine medical check up.  Insulin still made, but the amount is not sufficient for the body needs. This is also genetic. Particularly attacks those are over-weight.

The cause of diabetes in addition of an offspring, can also be caused by something else such as obesity, pancreatitis, thyrotoxicosis, some drugs on corticosteroids and dieuritic, some infections, pregnancy. Those mentioned before can cause or aggravate the diabetes melittus. 

Care and Treatment

Goals of care for those in the detection who has possibility of diabetes or for those who already affected by diabetes is to prolong life, relieve symptoms, and prevent long-term complications.

• Diabetes patients with insulin-dependent ; care and treatment means regular injections ( can be taken alone or with other people ) 1-4 times a day in accordance with the doctor's advice. Patients should reduce the input of carbohydrate and split evenly in a day in a tight schedule and regular basis. Patients is advised to bring sugar grains to prevent hypoglycemia, strictly forbidden to fly a plane, train or work done in high places because it is dangerous when the disease comes to attack.
• Diabetes patients with non insulin-dependent; the treatment can be often solved by diet only. Setting up the carbohydrates evenly in a day to prevent spikes in blood sugar levels. When the diet can not be longer lower the glucose, the patients will be given by hypoglycemic drugs that can stimulate pancreas to produce more insulin, but it remains to be done with focused and regular diet and doing sport to support the diet aim and reduce the weight. 

Advice

• People with diabetes are encouraged to have a card that stating that he/she is a diabetics and always carry it anywhere, if attack anything happens will soon overcome and given appropriate help.
• People with diabetics are encouraged to become members of diabetics group in aim to reinforce and support each other and can be able to obtain the latest information 'on how' the latest treatment in well and properly schemes.

Complication

The most heaviest complications were found are: ulcers in the leg which can lead to foot amputations, constriction blood vessels, high blood pressure, cardiovascular disorder, and cataracts.

Complication most found because the patients doesn't follow the doctors' advises. Meaning is that it is a high awareness and do the advises in preventing the complication, only with high discipline and regular basis treatment, so many diabetics people can live as most normal people up to an old ages life.
