1. DEFINITION:
Diabetes is a disease which causes an excess of sugar in the blood. It arises because the body does not produce enough insulin to turn glucose into energy or body does not respond to insulin.
2.CONSTRUCTION of this disease. Also
is known by the name "juvenile diabetes", now usually occurs in children and young adults, but can occur at any age.
Its main feature is that the pancreas stops producing insulin, this being necessary for life, must be injected every day.
The manifestation of this disease is rapid.
This disease can disappear temporarily sometimes forming a period known as "honeymoon", which is usually transient.
The most common cause tends to cause immune damage to insulin producing cells.
3. SYMPTOMS OF DIABETES.
Your
- onset is sudden.
- Excessive thirst.
-
- Increased appetite.
- loss of sugar in the urine.
- A large weight loss.
- Irritability.
Nausea and vomiting -
4. SOLUTIONS TO THESE SYMPTOMS.
Here are some of the solutions cited for when it happens in a relapse of sugar:
- take a considerable amount of sugar.
- Drink orange juice.
- Eating a chocolate or a cake.
Sometimes when administered insulin-like reactions occur panic attacks. It is very important to have controlled the amount of sugar in the blood before meals and so can find out if the cause of symptoms it is an anxiety.
5. THE STAGES OF THE DISEASE:
The disease develops in immune system attack against beta cells themselves RCAP, responsible for producing insulin. This process has several stages:
a) There is a genetic predisposition, and there are several genes involved.
b) In addition to the previous stage should occur a factor that triggers such as viral infection, stress, toxins, etc. And this comes as a result of an immune process.
c) The immune response consists of antibodies and cells when observing that antibodies are proteins against diabetes develops.
6. WHAT IS INSULIN?
6.1. DEFINITION
is a hormone produced by a gland called the pancreas. Insulin helps the sugars obtained from food we eat reach the cells of our body to provide energy.
6.2. TYPES OF INSULIN.
There are four types of insulin are different. Then explain the different categories:
- rapid-acting insulin begins to take effect on 15 minutes of having injected. Its duration is 5 hours.
- short-acting insulin starts working within 30 minutes of injection. The term has usually between 4 and 8 hours.
- intermediate-acting insulin usually starts to take effect between 2 and 6 hours after injection. Lasts between 14 and 20 hours.
- long-acting insulin usually starts to work between 6 and 14 hours after having injected. Its duration varies from 20 to 24 hours.
Although all types of insulin that are important primarily there are two that stand out. These are:
- rapid-acting insulin, whose appearance is clear, like water.
- The acting insulin, which is milky, cloudy appearance.
5.3. DOSE OF INSULIN.
The amounts of insulin every day a child should be given must be adapted to your needs to achieve the best possible control.
Depending on the situation of the patient has diabetes is one of the following recommended doses are cited below:
- A daily dose: not very common in children's own diabetes.
- Two daily doses: This method is the person administering to a mixture of rapid and intermediate insulin. This insulin will be injected before breakfast or before dinner.
- Three or more daily doses.
6. FACTORS INVOLVING THE DEVELOPMENT OF DIABETES.
- Smoking. Overweight
-
- Having older than 40 years.
- Having a sedentary lifestyle, as it is very important to sport and have a good diet.
- The risk may be increased by having relatives with the disease.
- not visit the doctor with some frequency.
- not take the medicines your doctor prescribes.
- Uncontrolled glucose in their blood daily.
- not control blood pressure and cholesterol.
7. NEW ADVANCES IN RESEARCH ON DIABETES.
currently has conducted experiments on mice suffering from this disease. This therapy can mean a cure for diabetes. For many years scientists have been working on possible methods to improve the quality of life of diabetics.
One experiment is Install the cells of the pancreas of a person who lacks this disease to another who suffers from this experiment is quite useful but can be too risky.
tests have been conducted in this experiment have been performed in diabetic mice. The result of this experiment has been positive because the mice began to produce insulin levels properly, so that one could deduce that the mice did not suffer from this disease. PERSONAL 8.OPINIÓN
.
As explained above all causes, consequences, solutions, symptoms, treatments to reduce symptoms of this disease, we can deduce that people with diabetes need much care at both household and medical level.
The patient should worry about the quality of their meals, their doses administered daily, and especially not to abuse any foods that you should not take.
As time progresses you can find more advances in technology to avoid the presence of diabetes.
