According to the Mayo Clinic, the term “diabetes mellitus” refers to a group of diseases that affect how your body uses blood glucose, commonly called blood sugar. Glucose is vital to your health because it’s the main source of energy for the cells that make up your muscles and tissues. It’s your body’s main source of fuel.

If you have diabetes, no matter what type, it means you have too much glucose in your blood, although the reasons may differ. Too much glucose can lead to serious health problems. Chronic diabetes conditions include Type 1 Diabetes and Type 2 Diabetes.

Short Description of Diabetes

Diabetes refers to a group of diseases that affects how the body utilizes sugar or glucose. Glucose is essential to our health as it is a vital source of energy for the cells that make up the muscles and tissues. It is also the brain’s primary source of fuel. 

Symptoms of Diabetes 

Some of the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are:

• Increased thirst
• Frequent urination
• Extreme hunger
• Unexplained weight loss
• Presence of ketones in the urine (ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there’s not enough available insulin)
• Fatigue
• Irritability
• Blurred vision
• Slow-healing sores
• Frequent infections, such as gums or skin infections and vaginal infections

About Diabetes 

Diabetes or diabetes mellitus is a type of metabolic disease that results in high blood sugar. The hormone responsible for moving glucose into your cells is known as insulin. If you have diabetes, the body either does not make enough insulin or it cannot effectively use the insulin it has.  When left untreated, high blood glucose can result in damage to the nerves, eyes, kidneys and other organs. 

Etiology of Diabetes 

Different causes are associated with each kind of diabetes. In type 1, researchers do not really know the reason why the immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.  Genes can also play a role in some people and its possible that a virus triggers the immune system to attack.  Type 2 diabetes originates from a combination of genetics and lifestyle factors. If you are overweight or obese, the risk of developing the disease is high too. Too much weight concentrated on the belly region can make your cells more resistant to the effects of insulin on your blood glucose.  The disease runs in families and family members that share genes that make them at higher risk to get type 2 diabetes.  Gestational diabetes is due to hormonal changes during pregnancy. The placenta creates hormones that make pregnant women’s cells less sensitive to insulin and as a result higher glucose in the blood during the pregnancy. Women that are overweight when they get pregnant or who happen to gain too much weight during the pregnancy are at a higher risk for developing gestational diabetes. 

Diagnosis of Diabetes 

Anybody presenting symptoms of diabetes or is at risk for developing the disease needs to be tested. For women, they are routinely tested for gestational diabetes on their second and third trimesters if pregnant.  The gold standard for testing is:

1. Fasting Blood Sugar – This measures plasma glucose levels after fasting for 8 hours. 

2. HgbA1 test – This provides doctors with a snapshot of your blood glucose levels in the last 3 months. 

3. Gestational Diabetes – The doctor will test blood sugar levels between the 24th and 28th weeks of pregnancy. 

Risk Factors 

Type 1 DM – You are more likely to have type 1 DM if you are a child or teenager or you have a parent or sibling that has the disease. You also can develop it if you carry the genes that are associated with the disease.  This usually begins in childhood and the main symptom is polyuria or increased urination. Other signs and symptoms include extreme thirst and fatigue. Type 1 diabetes requires insulin to treat. 

Type 2 DM – You are at risk for Type 2 if you are overweight, age 45 and older, have a parent or sibling that has the disease, are not physically active or have had gestational diabetes in the past.  Other risk factors include pre-diabetes, high blood pressure, high cholesterol and high triglycerides.  You are also at risk if you are African-American, Hispanic or Latino, Alaska native, Pacific Islander, American Indian or of Asian American ancestry. 

Gestational Diabetes – You are at risk for getting gestational diabetes if you are overweight, are over 25 years of age, had gestational diabetes during a past pregnancy, gave birth to a baby weighing more than 9 months, have a family history of type 2 diabetes and have polycystic ovary syndrome

Complications

If you have consistent high blood sugar levels your organs and other tissues can become damaged permanently. The higher your blood sugar is and the longer it is not controlled, the greater the risk of having complications. 

Complications associated with diabetes are:

1. Heart disease, heart attack and stroke
2. Neuropathy
3. Nephropathy 
4. Retinopathy or vision loss
5. Hearing loss 
6. Foot damage like infections and sores that do not heal 
7. Dementia
8. Depression 

Complications of Gestational Diabetes 

If the pregnant mother has uncontrolled gestational diabetes it can lead to problems that can affect both mother and baby. The complications that affect the baby include: premature birth, higher than normal weight at birth, increased risk for diabetes type 2, low blood sugar and yellowing of the skin (jaundice), stillbirth. 

The mother can also develop complications like high blood pressure or preeclampsia and type 2 diabetes. It is possible that a C-section may be required for delivery. Her risk for gestational diabetes in future pregnancies also rises. 

Prevention of Diabetes 

Type 1 diabetes unfortunately cannot be prevented but the same healthy lifestyle choices that help treat prediabetes, type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes can help prevent it. 

• Select food that is lower in fat, calories and sugar but higher in fiber. More fruits and veggies in the diet as well as whole grains 
• Get physically active like at least 30 minutes of moderate aerobic activity
• Lose excess weight
