What is Diabetes

Diabetes is a disease that causes an individual's blood glucose (Blood Sugar) to raise too high. Everyone has glucose in their blood (for energy), but when a person has or gets diabetes, too much glucose causes ill health. When a person has diabetes, the pancreas begins to release insulin (a chemical hormone) into the blood. When this insulin is released into the blood, natural glucose in food cannot get into one's cells. In diabetes, there is not enough insulin production; therefore, glucose stays in the blood and does not travel to the cells. It is then that blood glucose levels raise too high, which causes diabetes. Treatment for children's health and adults health can be obtained through a variety of medications and other forms of medical care.

Symptoms of diabetes can include: unusual thirst, frequent urination, unusually hungry or fatigued, weight loss, slow-healing sores, itching, dry skin, tingling or numbness in feet, and blurred vision. There are three types of diabetes. Type one diabetes is usually diagnosed in children, teenagers or young adults. It is a form of insulin dependence. Type two diabetes is when a person becomes insulin resistant and can be diagnosed at any age. The third type of diabetes develops during the late stages of pregnancy. Persons with this form of diabetes are more prone to getting type two diabetes later in life. Holistic health practitioners can provide alternative forms of treatment for those with this illness.
