Disease information
DIABETES MELLITUS
It is
a
chronic
disease
, which means that it is developed little by little and of quiet way, reason why most of the patients they do not realize of which they suffer it until already they have symptoms of her.
It is
a
incurable
disease
,
but
controlable in
anyone
of their types and stages and an suitable treatment, together with the will of the person to carry out it, can obtain that the patients take
a
normal
life and with quality.
The
diabetes
is originated when the páncreas do not work suitably and is that, when
a
healthy person ingests her foods, these are digested and process firstly in the
stomach
and absorbed in the thin
intestine
to be transported by means of the blood all the organism.
The sugars, proteins and fats arrive at the
liver
, where
a
part is transformed into glucose that is gotten up in the sanguineous torrent. While, the páncreas produce
insulin
,
a
hormone that allows that the glucose penetrates in the cells and produces heat and
energy
, that is, that in certain way, the
insulin
"opens the door of the cells" so that the glucose can enter.
The glucose is very necessary so that the organism
has
force and makes all its daily activities,
but
when too much in the blood, the brain and other weaves is accumulated, becomes difficult its use and it is concentrated in dangerous amounts.
Thus, when
a
diabetic
person consume rich carbohydrate foods that is, sugars and fats, the páncreas do not produce the necessary
insulin
so that this glucose between
a
the cells, producing the accumulation and increase of sugar in the blood, this is known like glucemia elevated.
Before this situation, the organism, as it cannot take advantage of the glucose, consumes and disturbs to the fats and proteins that it
has
stored to obtain
energy
, which produces
a
biochemical imbalance that can be very serious.
Meanwhile, the high glucose levels in the blood, damage all the structures of the organism, increasing the risk of complications, as
attacks
to the heart, blindness, renal insufficiency, neurological
osteoporosis
,
problems
cerebrovasculares and among others.
