Diabetes is a disease that affect how the body uses blood sugar, or glucose. Glucose is a source of energy that is important for the cells in your body that make up your muscles and tissues. Glucose is your brains main fuel. There are two chronic types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. There are also types of diabetes that can potentially be reversible. These are pre-diabetes and gestational diabetes. Pre-diabetes is when your blood sugar levels are higher than normal, however they are not high enough to be called diabetes. If you have been told you have pre-diabetes you should be aware that this can lead to diabetes unless you take certain steps to prevent it. The other type of diabetes is called Gestational diabetes. This type happens during pregnancy. However, there is a good chance it will go away after you give birth to your baby. Once again you need to be careful and be aware that this may not always be the case.
Causes of Diabetes
The main causes for diabetes vary depending on the type.
All types of diabetes lead to excess sugar in the
blood. If you have too much sugar in the
blood it can lead to other serious health problems.
Type 1 Diabetes is usually from birth though it can be
otherwise. It can occur if your immune system attacks and destroys the
insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes may be generic
but some environmental factors, such as viruses, can trigger the disease.
Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes.
There are a few contributing factors that can cause you to develop this type of
diabetes. There are many lifestyle factors involved and some people do believe
it is in your genes. Often some type of energetic healing is needed in that
case. If you are overweight, eat junk foods, too much sugar or chemical type
GMO foods then you have a higher risk for developing type 2 diabetes.
