 Diabetes

Diabetes includes a number of disorders that are characterized by problems with the hormone insulin that the pancreas produces naturally to help the body use sugar and fat and store some.

Diabetes affects humans when there are problems with the production of this hormone to increase the level of blood sugar.

Let's learn about the most prominent topics of diabetes in this section of the Web Medicine.

Other Names of Diabetes

The term diabetes includes a number of disorders in the carbohydrate metabolism process, i.e. demolition and construction.

Normal metabolism

The carbohydrates that the body gets from eating bread, potatoes, rice, cakes and many other foods disintegrate and degrade gradually, as this process of disintegration and decomposition begins in the stomach, then continues in Duodenum and in the small intestine, where this process of disintegration and degradation results in a group of sugars absorbed into the circulation.
Balancing insulin and glucagon hormones keeps the blood glucose level stable and avoids severe changes. The cells responsible for the release of these hormones include the following:

1. Internal secretion

In the pancreas there are cells called Beta cells which are very sensitive to high blood sugar levels where they release insulin hormone.
Insulin is a foundation bridge for the entry of sugar and glucose particles into the muscle where it is used as an energy source, to liver and fat tissue where it is stored, and glucose reaches the brain as well, but without insulin assistance.

2. Alpha cells

They are also present in the pancreas and release another additional hormone called Glucagon, which causes sugar to be taken out of the liver and activates other hormones that hinder insulin action.

Healthy weight earners who are more physically active need a small amount of insulin to balance blood glucose work, and the more obese and less fit a person becomes more insulin needed to treat a similar amount of glucose in the blood, this condition is called insulin resistance.

Of diabetes 

When beta cells in the pancreas are damaged, the amount of detected insulin gradually decreases, and this process lasts many years.

If this situation is associated with insulin resistance, this combination of insulin intake and low efficacy level leads to a deviation from the proper level of glucose, i.e. blood sugar, in which case a person is defined as having diabetes (diabetes).

After fasting eight hours, the result of the analysis may indicate the following:

• It is known that the proper level should be less than 108 milligrams/dL.
• The border level is 126 milligrams/dL.
• The level of infection is 126 milligrams/dL and above, in two or more examinations.
