Diabetes is a very serious disease, but it is controllable. Approximately 16 million people in the United States have this disease, a serious, life-long disorder that is, as yet, incurable. This disease can, and will, lead to a wide range of other serious health complications.
It is a silent killer that kills one person every 10 seconds. It is a global problem with devastating human, social and economic impact. It is a growing epidemic threatening to overwhelm global healthcare services, wipe out some indigenous populations and undermine economies worldwide, especially in developing countries.
This disease can occur any time, even in the first year of life. If you are at risk or have pre-diabetes, you can take some small steps to prevent the disease. About one-third of these people do not know they have this disease and are not under medical care. Anyone with this disease is at increased risk for heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and lower extremity amputations
The symptoms of this disease are frequent thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, rapid loss of weight, and obvious weakness and fatigue. Obesity, especially in the abdomen and at the waistline, greatly increases the risk of this illness. A very good way you can help to prevent type 2 is by maintaining your ideal body weight, especially if you have a family history of this disease.
Diet and exercise have been shown to delay the onset of this disease in people who are in the early stages of insulin resistance, identified by borderline blood sugar levels. After the first few years of treatment, the majority of people with type 2 require more than one medicine to keep their blood sugar under control.
Around one out of three people with type 2 diabetes requires insulin. Four to six out of every 100 people with type 2 diabetes become dependent on dialysis treatments because of kidney failure. Treatment will always include taking insulin and may include taking other drugs to prevent kidney damage or to treat disease related conditions such as high blood pressure.
Treatment may include taking oral medicines to decrease insulin resistance or increase insulin secretion and taking other drugs to treat any condition that is related to this disease and may also include taking insulin. The goal for the treatment of this condition is to keep blood glucose and blood pressure levels as close to normal as possible. Therefore it is imperative to self-monitor blood glucose levels which will provide the necessary information to make informed decisions regarding your daily diabetes care.
