Diabetes often referred to by doctors as diabetes
mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person
has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production
is inadequate, or because the bodys cells do not respond properly to
insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically
experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly
thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).
Diabetes Cause and Signs

various factors which include lack of physical activity, overweight,
obesity, chronic stress, lifestyle habits which include smoking, alcohol

Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by
hyperglycaemia (high blood sugar) glycosuria, hyperlipaemia, negative
nitrogen balance and sometimes ketonaemia. Diabetes can cause life
threatening effects if the sugar levels are not maintained properly. The
disease can cause a widespread pathological changes like increase in
the vessel wall matrix, vascular complications like lumen narrowing,
early atherosclerosis, retinopathy, neuropathy, and peripheral vascular
insufficiency.
Diabetes Treatment
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that is characterized by high levels
of blood glucose into the blood. It is very important to control the
levels of the blood in order to treat diabetes. If the disease is left
un-treated, it can lead to various other life threatening complications
that may include Diabetic Ketoacidosis, hyperglycaemia, chronic kidney
disease, foot ulcers, diabetic retinopathy, and diabetic foot. Therefore
it is essential that blood sugar levels to be maintained by following
proper diet, and some oral medication or taking insulin is the main
treatment. Regular screening for diabetic complications is also
required.
