This disease leads to very serious disruptions in the functioning of the body. A person suffers from discomfort and weakness. You can help him at home using medicinal herbs.
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by a violation of the metabolism of the energy substrate for human body cells - glucose. The blood glucose concentration increases several times. As the disease progresses, the disease has an increasing impact on human organs, causing severe disturbances.
The second type is characterized by a lack of insulin. The body cannot cope with elevated glucose levels on its own. He needs help. In the first stages of the disease, treatment with medications and traditional recipes is possible, but in the later stages the patient is treated with injections: insulin is injected into the body using injections.
Reasons for development
The disease appears and develops for the following reasons:
- Obesity.
- Age over forty years.
- Low physical activity.
- Overeating carbohydrates and fats.
- Genetic predisposition.
- Pregnancy.
- Stress.
If one of your relatives has this disease, the likelihood of diabetes increases by 40%. However, medicine knows of cases where the disease appeared due to poor nutrition.
Symptoms and diagnosis
Some signs help determine the second type of diabetes:
- Dry mouth.
- Increased amount of urine. The person begins to visit the toilet too often.
- Constant desire to drink a lot of water.
- Increased appetite.
- Itching of mucous membranes.
- Wounds heal very slowly.
Diagnosis is carried out in the hospital using laboratory tests:
- Finger blood test. In this case, the patient must be hungry. This analysis is carried out on an empty stomach.
- Glucose tolerance test.
- Analysis of urine.
- Excretory urography.
Do sugar substitutes help?
This question has remained open for many years. Substitutes are classified into two types:
- natural;
- synthetic.
Synthetic, as can be seen in the name itself, is created artificially, using similar materials. Substitutes of this type are harmful and, by the way, cause a constant feeling of hunger. This happens because the body is difficult to deceive. A synthetic substitute offers the body sweetness, but essentially does not provide it, while the stomach is already “irritated”. This is where the feeling of hunger comes from. It is better not to use this remedy.
Natural sweeteners also have their downsides: they contain a lot of calories. This state of affairs causes no less harm than sugar itself.
The best option would be to give up substitutes and try to learn to drink sugar-free drinks, which is quite possible. For the rest, just reduce its consumption as much as possible.
Attention!
We often get sugar in a form that we don't notice. As they say - “from where you didn’t expect.” For example, it is found in food products: bakery products, dairy sausages, even canned goods.

Types of pathology
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease of the endocrine system. Its main symptom is high blood sugar. This disease occurs when the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas is not enough for the normal functioning of the body. With such a low hormone content, blood sugar levels increase, which affects the functioning of many human organs and systems. This disease is divided into two main types:
- Type 1 diabetes occurs due to a genetic predisposition to it in combination with unfavorable factors, such as an infectious disease or stress. At the same time, the state of the human immune system changes and there is a deficiency of insulin produced by the body. This disease is typical for people under the age of 20-30 years. To maintain normal functioning, the patient is prescribed medications containing this hormone.
- Type 2 diabetes is much more common than type 1. This disease is typical for older people and usually appears in patients over 40 years of age. Almost all patients with type 2 diabetes are overweight or obese. In most cases, this disease is inherited. Typically, treatment for type 2 diabetes begins with diet.
Medicines are constantly being developed around the world to treat this disease. The main goal of this therapy is to normalize the patient's blood sugar levels. There is no universal remedy to prevent the occurrence of this disease. Moreover, due to the fact that modern people are increasingly eating foods that lead to excess weight and moving less and less, the number of people with diabetes is growing every year. Recently, this disease has become younger, so it is so important to take preventive measures to prevent the occurrence of this disease, as well as to diagnose it in a timely manner and begin treatment as early as possible.
