What Is Diabetes?
Diabetes is an old illness. It has affected mankind for many hundreds of years and is referred in old Sanskrit writing. It is a chronic metabolic disorder with high levels of sugar in the blood. The word “Diabetes" means siphon and “Mellitus" stands for sweet. Diabetes and Diabetes Mellitus are used interchangeably in day-to-day practice.
How
does
it
happen?
A
gland
in
the
tummy
named
pancreas
secretes
a
hormone
called
Insulin,
which
controls
blood
sugar.
When
we
eat,
glucose
is
absorbed
from
the
stomach
and
enters
in
the
blood.
The
glucose
must
enter
into
the
cells
to
make
energy
and
insulin
helps
glucose
to
enter
the
cells.
Diabetes
is
the
result
of
inability
of
the
pancreas
to
produce
normal
amount
Insulin
or
Insulin
becoming
ineffective
to
do
its" job.
Diabetes:
Why
me?
Frequently
this
question
is
asked,
despite
no
family
history
how
did
I
get
Diabetes.
Family
history
certainly
is
an
important
factor,
but
the
fact
is
being
Asian,
we
all
have
high-risk
gene
for
Diabetes.
Remember
it
is
not
your
fault
that
you
have
Diabetes.
You
are
just
happened
to
be
the
person
who
got
it.
In
India
6%
of
villagers
and
up
to
14%
of
city
dwellers
have
Diabetes.
Recent
studies
showed
all
over
the
world
the
incidence
of
Diabetes
is
increasing
and
it
is
more
so
in
Asians.
Also
we
are
getting
Diabetes
at
an
earlier
age
than
people
in
the
west
(around
10
yr).
