All cells in the human body needs sugar to work normally. Sugar can get into the body cells with the help of the hormone insulin. If the amount of insulin in the body is not enough, or when the body's cells do not respond to insulin (insulin resistance), there will be a buildup of sugar in the blood. This is what happens in patients with diabetes.
Diabetes, also known as diabetes, is a chronic disease that is caused by:
- The inability of the pancreas organs to produce insulin in sufficient quantities, or.
- the body can not use insulin that has been produced by the pancreas effectively, or.
- a combination of both.
In patients with diabetes who are not controlled, there will be increased levels of glucose (sugar) blood is called hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia which lasted for a long time will cause serious damage to our body systems, especially the nerves and blood vessels. Therefore, it is important to control blood glucose levels in patients with diabetes.
Diabetes is divided into three types, namely:
- Diabetes type 1, namely diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin production by the pancreas.
- Diabetes type 2, which is caused by insulin resistance, so the use of insulin by the body becomes ineffective.
- Gestational diabetes, hyperglycemia which was first discovered during pregnancy.
In addition to the types of diabetes, there is also a condition called. A blood glucose levels diabetes will be higher than the normal value, but not yet high enough to be diagnosed as diabetes . Were included in the diabetes state is Impaired Glucose Tolerance and Impaired Fasting Blood Glucose. This state of diabetes will increase a person's risk of developing diabetes type 2, heart disease or stroke.
