Comprehensive Information, Resources, and Support on Diabetes Mellitus
Heart attack risk factors
These are some common risk factors for a heart attack. Genetics play an important role in defining the risk of a person for getting a heart attack.
Diabetic foot ulcer of patient
Diabetic foot ulcer is commonly located on the bottom of the foot.
Diabetes mellitus type 1 overview
Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition that occurs when your pancreas, an organ in the abdomen, produces very little or no insulin at all. Without insulin, your body can’t use glucose appropriately.
Effects of type 2 diabetes
All of the carbohydrates that are absorbed are converted to glucose and released into the blood. Insulin helps to move this glucose into the cells rapidly. Patients at risk of diabetes or suffering from diabetes do not have sufficient insulin. They should avoid carbohydrates unless there is sufficient insulin added from externally to move the resulting glucose into the cells.
The level of sugar in the blood
Hyperglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels are too high. People develop hyperglycemia if their diabetes is not treated properly. Hypoglycemia occurs when blood sugar levels are too low.
Diabetes mellitus type 2 overview
Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a long-term metabolic problem characterized by high blood sugar levels, insulin resistance, and relative lack of insulin in the body. It is a chronic condition in which the body fails to properly use and store glucose. This type of diabetes is the most common form of diabetes mellitus in the world.
What are pancreas?
The pancreas is a large gland located behind the stomach and next to the small intestine. It plays an important role in converting the food we eat into energy for the body’s cells. The pancreas has two main functions: an exocrine function that helps in digestion and an endocrine function that regulates blood sugar.
How does insulin work?
Most of the glucose you consume is sent into your bloodstream, causing a rise in blood glucose levels. This increase in blood glucose signals the pancreas to produce insulin. Insulin helps the body turn glucose into energy. It also helps the body store it in your muscles, fat cells, and liver for later use when there is a need of it.
Chronic complications of diabetes
Diabetes increases the risk for many serious health problems. By following the correct treatment plan and recommended lifestyle changes, you can prevent or delay the onset of these complications.
Diabetic foot ulcer
The image shows a diabetic ulcer on left foot. Diabetic foot ulcer is a major complication of diabetes mellitus.
Diabetic foot ulcer with chronic limb ischemia
A diabetic foot ulcer is an open sore or wound that develops in some patients with diabetes. Chronic critical limb ischemia is manifested by pain at rest, nonhealing wounds and gangrene.
Effects of type 1 diabetes
In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas stops making insulin because the cells that make the insulin have been destroyed by the body’s immune system. This lack in insulin secretion leads to an accumulation of blood sugar.
