^{Understanding Diabetes}

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic disorder caused by a minor or total insulin deficiency. The factors of diabetes mellitus are not only from the genetic factors but also mostly from the environmental factors. In America, 1 of 20 people has diabetes.

Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that weakens the vascular system and causes many complications, such as loss of eye sight or kidney damage.

Diabetes is divided into two major groups. The first group, known as Primary Diabetes Mellitus, covers the most commonly known types of diabetes:

Type 1 – this is an insulin dependent type of diabetes
Type 2- this is a non-insulin dependent type of diabetes
Type 3- this is a malnutrition related type of diabetes, not commonly discussed

_{Blood Sugar}

The main irregularity with diabetes is the difficulty of having to control blood sugar. Insulin is produced in the pancreas and its function is to control your blood sugar in a narrow range. In type I diabetes we find that there is not enough insulin production.

In type II diabetes, most of the time we find enough insulin but it is not available to control the sugar levels. Both the above situations lead to a rise in blood sugar and further on to diabetes.

STATISTICS:

Hemoglobin A1c level among type 2 diabetics in the USA alone is estimated to be about 9.4% (while the normal value should be below 7%). Lowering A1c level to normal (less than 7%) for many diabetics became an impossible task as it involves a great deal of understanding diabetes control.

Understanding "diabetes, pancreas and hemoglobin A1c" with a thorough concept is the key to controlling diabetes. "What diabetics need is proper education because knowledge is not only the power but the best medicine of all,"

The second group of diabetes is known as Secondary Diabetes Mellitus. These types of diabetes are caused by outside factors other than genetics and environmental factors.

When things like acute or chronic pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer destroys the pancreas- which is the insulin producing organ in the body- secondary diabetes will occur. Chronic liver disease like in Hemochromatosis, endocrine abnormalities like in Hyperthyroid and Cushing syndrome are very common. The use of medications to treat other conditions can all bring about a diagnosis of secondary diabetes.
