Controlling Diabetes Symptoms


Controlling diabetes symptoms is essential for people whose bodies do not produce, or do not respond properly to insulin. Type 1 diabetes takes place when the body doesn't produce any insulin. This disease is also labeled as insulin-dependent diabetes. It is often called juvenile diabetes due to the fact that it is usually discovered in children and teenagers, but adults may also have it. Symptoms include extreme hunger, extreme thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, fatigue or drowsiness and blurry vision. People who have this condition are at a greater risk of suffering from heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, high blood pressure, blindness, nerve damage and gum disease.

These conditions are much more probable to occur in people who have this disease than in people who do not. With this ailment, blood may not travel as well through the legs and feet. If not properly treated, serious nerve damage can occur and cause amputation of the feet. Untreated type 1 diabetes can lead a person to go into a coma. However, treatment and lifestyle changes can help in controlling diabetes symptoms.

Type 2 diabetes is defined by "insulin resistance" as body cells do not react appropriately when insulin is present. This poses a more complicated problem than type 1 does, but is sometimes easier to treat, since insulin is still produced, especially in the initial years. This disorder may go undetected for years in a patient before diagnosis, since the symptoms are typically blander and isolated occurrence. However, severe complications can be brought about unnoticed type 2 diabetes, including renal failure, and coronary artery disease. It may be originated by a variety of diseases, such as hemochromatosis and polycystic ovary syndrome, and can also be caused by certain kinds of medicines. There is a strong inheritable genetic connection in this disorder: having relatives (especially first degree) with type 2 is a significant risk factor for developing this illness. The majority of patients with this condition are overweight - chronic obesity leads to increased insulin resistance that can develop into diabetes, most likely because adipose tissue is a (recently identified) source of chemical signals (hormones and cytokines).

Controlling diabetes symptoms is best achieved with medications such as Actos, Amaryl, Avandia, Avapro, Diamicron, Glibenclamide, Glicazide, Glucophage, GLUCOPHAGE XR, Glucotrol, Glucovance, Glyburide, GLYBURIDE+METFORMIN HYDROCHLORIDE, Metformin, Pioglitazone and Starlix, all of which can be found right here at XL Pharmacy.
