[QUOTE="margarett89, post: 1862668, member: 488191"] hi, I litte bit info form me Type I diabetes Type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes usually starts in childhood or adolescence, although there are cases of disease of all ages. It is an autoimmune disease, it involves the destruction of pancreatic cells producing insulin. From the beginning of the disease there is a deficiency. The symptoms are not overlooked - frequent urination, increased thirst, weight loss despite a big appetite, drowsiness, weakness, nausea. Sometimes it goes so fast that it comes to a diabetic coma. Treatment from the beginning consists in administering insulin. Parents and a child are taught to calculate its dose depending on the amount and quality of food. The special tables for carbohydrate, protein and fat exchanges are helpful. The patient basically can eat anything, only he needs to adjust the right amount of medicine. Unfortunately, this requires a lot of discipline, several measurements of sugar during the day. If you are given too much insulin, you may experience a drop in sugar or hypoglycaemia, which manifests itself in sweating, tremor, dizziness, hunger, anxiety, sudden changes in behavior, pallor, fainting. That's why sick people always carry sugar or a sweet drink so that they can quickly provide sugar to the body in case of such symptoms. At present, most children have insulin pumps at their disposal that make life easier for them, the latest models can measure blood glucose and precisely dose the medicine depending on its level. Type II diabetes Type II diabetes occurs mainly in adults, although in recent years, an increasing concern among children is becoming more and more disturbing. The cause of the disease are genetic and environmental factors, very often associated with obesity. The essence of the disease is not the lack of insulin but its improper functioning in tissues (this is the so-called insulin resistance), which leads to an increased level of glucose in the blood. The pancreas thus begins to produce insulin in excess, which after many years of the disease leads to its "exhaustion". For many years, the treatment is based on proper nutrition and taking oral medicines that improve the action of insulin and those that stimulate the pancreas for its production. Only when the ability of the pancreas does not cover the need for insulin is it introduced into treatment. The beginnings of type II diabetes are very easy to overlook. For many years, the glucose level may be at a slightly elevated level and only a blood test may show abnormalities. Increased urination, increased thirst, tiredness and drowsiness occur when the sugar level exceeds 200 mg / dl. Unfortunately, during this asymptomatic period, changes in the blood vessels that promote atherosclerosis are slowly taking place. Sometimes complications precede the diagnosis of diabetes, it is not uncommon for a patient going to hospital with a heart attack finding out that he has diabetes. Dietary treatment (learn about dietary recommendations in type II diabetes) is based on healthy, regular meals containing complex carbohydrates with a low glycemic index, limiting simple sugars and animal fats.
