Get Rid of Type 1 Diabetes !! Get Treatment Immediately

Once known as juvenile diabetes, Diabetes type 1 is typically diagnosed in small children and teens. When affected by it, the human body does not produce insulin, which is an essential hormone for ensuring that the sugar we consume is converted into energy. This leads to many complications for people with this condition.

Fortunately, it has become easier to cope with Diabetes type 1 than it was years ago, giving its sufferers a fair chance at leading a full life with no setbacks. Read this article for a bit of background information on this disease, as well as things to watch out for in order to only have the best possible experiences every day.



Reasons for Developing Diabetes Type 1

Diabetes type 1 can develop at any time in a person's life, but the most likely onset of this condition is detected during childhood and adolescence. The most commonly believed cause of diabetes is linked strongly with our diet, but genetics play a big part in it as well.


Once a person's body is no longer able to produce insulin on its own, the glucose consumed with sugars and other foods gradually builds up in the bloodstream and becomes a cause for the symptoms of Diabetes 1.

Symptoms

  • Un unusual feeling of thirst or hunger that doesn't go away when you eat or drink is often linked with Diabetes type 1
  • Worsening eyesight and unprompted weight loss  is the another symptom. 
  • People who have Diabetes 1 can also occasionally lose feeling in their limbs if proper care is not provided.
  •  Flushed face. 
  •  Trouble breathing.
  •  Dryness of skin and mouth. 
  •  Unusual odor coming from the breath.
  •  Pains in the stomach.
  •  Nausea or vomiting.

If a patient also develops low blood sugar, a few other symptoms can appear on this list, such as headache, anxiety, racing heart, weakness in the muscles, shaking and sweating.

Treatment for Diabetes

The onset of Diabetes type 1 can be rapid and when the initial symptoms kick in, the affected person may be too weak to leave the hospital.Once the situation has stabilized, people may attempt to manage their condition by going to a weekly medical checkup, making notes of the food they eat and working out a comprehensive treatment that will let them enjoy life as usual.

Proper control of your blood sugar level and the right amount of insulin injections lead to an overall stabilizing of the condition, reducing the visible Diabetes type 1 symptoms. In order to keep the situation under control, the affected person must never miss these checkups and monitor their blood sugar.


People with type 1 diabetes need to follow a treatment plan to manage their diabetes and stay healthy and active. Silverline Hospital offers the best diabetes treatment in kerala with the help of expirenced doctors.

Diabetes Management and Treatment in Kerala

Diabetes mellitus is a condition that occurs when the body can't use glucose normally. Glucose is the main source of energy for the body's cells. The levels of glucose in the blood are controlled by a hormone called insulin, which is made by the pancreas. Insulin helps glucose enter the cells.
In diabetes, the pancreas does not make enough insulin (type 1 diabetes) or the body can't respond normally to the insulin that is made (type 2 diabetes). This causes glucose levels in the blood to rise, leading to symptoms such as increased urination, extreme thirst, and unexplained weight loss.


 Symptoms

  • Increased urine output
  • Thirst
  • Weight loss
  • Weakness


Causes and Types
 As glucose accumulates in the blood, excess levels of this sugar are excreted in the urine. Because of greater amounts of glucose in the urine, more water is excreted with it, causing an increase in urinary volume and frequency of urination as well as thirst.
                                                

Type I diabetes is usually caused by autoimmune destruction of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas. Patients with type I diabetes have serum antibodies to several components of the islets of Langerhans, including antibodies to insulin itself.
Type II diabetes are asymptomatic. In some patients the presence of one or more symptoms associated with the long-term complications of diabetes leads to a diagnosis of type II diabetes.  Type II diabetes is strongly associated with obesity and is a result of insulin resistance and insulin deficiency.
                                                              

Gestational diabetes is a temporary condition associated with pregnancy. In this situation, blood glucose levels increase during pregnancy but usually return to normal after delivery.

Diabetes Treatment in Kerala
Treatment must be individualized on the basis of the type of diabetes and specific needs of each patient.  People with diabetes must take responsibility for their day-to-day care. This includes monitoring blood glucose levels, dietary management, maintaining physical activity, keeping weight and stress under control, monitoring oral medications and, if required, insulin use via injections or pump.
