Yeah you think you do but you dont.
Diabetes is divided into two.
Diabetes mellitus and diabetes insipidus.
They really got nice and unique names you may say, but that's the smooth killers for you.
Diabetes mellitus is a type of diabetes that deals with metabolism that is the breakdown of our body cells and organisms.
Now, diabtetes mellitus is that which deals with breakdown of our food energy and nutrients, that is why commonly we regard it as sugar/sweetened food caused.
Diabetes mellitus is divided into three; Type 1, Type 11 and gestational diabetes.
Type 1 is also called insulin-dependent diabetes. It used to be called juvenile-onset diabetes, because it often begins in childhood.
Type 11 is the most common form of diabetes, accounting for 95% of diabetes cases in adults.
Diabetes that's triggered by pregnancy is called gestational diabetes (pregnancy, to some degree, leads to insulin resistance). It is often diagnosed in middle or late pregnancy. Because high blood sugar levels in a mother are circulated through the placenta to the baby, gestational diabetes must be controlled to protect the baby's growth and development.
The preferred method of diagnosing diabetes is the fasting plasma glucose test (FPG). The FPG measures your blood glucose level after you have fasted (not eaten anything) for 10 to 12 hours.
Normal fasting blood glucose is between 70 and 100 mg/dl for people who do not have diabetes. The standard diagnoses of diabetes is made when:
- A patient has a fasting blood glucose level of 126 mg/dl or higher on two separate occasions; or
- A patient has a random blood glucose level of 200 mg/dl or greater and has common symptoms of diabetes, such as:
- Increased thirst
- Frequent urination
- Increased hunger
- Fatigue
- Blurred vision
- Weight loss
Treatment during pregnancy includes working closely with your health care team and:
- Careful meal planning to ensure adequate pregnancy nutrients without excess fat and calories
- Daily exercise
- Controlling pregnancy weight gain
- Taking diabetes insulin to control blood sugar levels if needed
Other Forms of Diabetes
A few rare kinds of diabetes can result from specific conditions. For example, diseases of the pancreas, certain surgeries and medications, or infections can cause diabetes. These types of diabetes account for only 1% to 5% of all cases of diabetes.
