The researchers all over the world are busy trying to find out
the exact methods to manage diabetes. For, diabetes has
assumed
the settled form of a dreaded disease, not sparing children,
pregnant women, adults and the old. The aged persons are the
worst sufferers because it destroys the strength in their body
at a rapid pace.
Scientists believe that environmental factors cause the immune
system to destroy the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
When the insulin-producing cells are permanently destroyed,
the
only alternative for you is to provide insulin to the body
through external resources such as injections! So, far no
other
remedy has been found!
There are two types of diabetes. Type I and Type II.
The former is incurable, and it will remain as your life-long
partner- the most unreliable partner for that matter! Because
many dreaded diseases are its likely companions. These dreaded
companions will never shudder to attack you, should you be a
bit less alert in taking care of your diabetes.
Type II is curable, it is reported that 9 out of 10 cases are
successfully treated. There are certain preconditions however!
You must have control over your diet and indulge in regular
exercising. Consumption of alcohol as well as smoking is
thoroughly prohibited. Body Weight Check is your watchword!
For type I, take 2 to 5 injections per day. Insulin has a dual
function to play. It regulates both the blood sugar and the
speed at which sugar moves into cells. But insulin is not to
be
treated as replacement for proper diet. The diet and exercise
are the foundation stones for controlling diabetes. Insulin
will have the favorable impact only after you take the
necessary precautions.
With course of treatment of type I Diabetes, no chance can be
taken. It is always to be considered as a dreaded disease and
should be treated and respected as such. Some of the symptoms
of your laxity of treating type I diabetes are continuous need
to urinate, excessive thirst, weakness, coupled with
tiredness,
urinary tract infections, blurred vision and numbness in the
feet.
If Type I diabetes is not treated and looked after properly,
it
is not a life and death situation, it is life or death, and
chances for the later are more!
