The poor food quality of the Venezuelan has been causing a notable increase of people with type II diabetes.
And another problem faced by diabetic patients is the lack of medicines, since in the pharmaceutical market it is difficult to get the pills, apart from the insulins only two, of a single laboratory, which has more or less managed to maintain its production;What obviously does not meet the needs and demands of these people throughout the country, said imperia Brajkovich, president of the Venezuelan Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism, this Monday in the program for your health, of El Carabobeño Radio, conducted by Ana Isabel Laguna Laguna.
Diabetes is a chronic condition that is triggered when the body loses its ability to produce sufficient insulin or use it effectively.While insulin is a hormone that is manufactured in the pancreas and allows food glucose to pass to the body's cells, where it becomes energy so that the muscles and tissues work.
As a result, a person with diabetes does not absorb glucose properly, so it is circulating in the blood (hyperglycemia) and damaging the tissues over time.Deterioration that causes lethal health complications, but administered with the appropriate doses.
BRAJKOVICH, President of the Venezuelan Society of Endocrinology and Metabolism indicated that people often eat the foods they get, and many of these are mostly carbohydrates, with excess flour, which causes fattening, although others are thinning a lot.
Those who lose a lot have to take care of themselves, since these diabetics that consume pills and use insulin, must lower the amounts to avoid hypoglycemia.Playing a lot or little brings damage to the body.
But, another eventuality that is being presented is that people with diabetes that require insulin, are constantly changing them.And all insulins are not the same.Some are fast action, which when injecting usually lowers the level of sugar consumed when eating;And the slow action when injecting can be between 12, 18 or 24 hours, which helps maintain normal blood sugar during the day, but before the food, because after eating the rapid must be supplied.
These are the dangers of confusing one with the other.For example, if the doctor told the patient, 20 insulin units of the slowcause hypoglycemia.
Insulin can be injected into the abdomen or belly, or in the legs, and always rotate, but what is seen as annoying chichones can come out.
The importance of not confusing the quantity and type of insulin that a patient must be supplied in that this anomaly gradually deteriorates the body (nerves and arteries), since excess sugar causes chronic complications such as: visual hemorrhages,or lose vision, infarction, renal problems, so the person gradually deteriorates their renal function and then will have to depend on dialysis.Even legs can deteriorate due to excess sugar, which can trigger infections.That is why it is important to administer the appropriate amount of insulin.
It is that hypoglycemia is a dangerous reaction, whose symptoms usually feel sweating and tachycardia;And if sugar is very low, the person can even lose knowledge, seizures and fall into a coma.
In the case of people who increase weight, obesity causes pre-diabetes, and then type II diabetes, which is controlled with pills, but the pancreas over time goesdeteriorating.And if he first produced a poor quality insulin, which improved with pills, over time he goes down his production until the patient is forced to take insulin pills.In these cases, the pancreas is tired of trying to produce insulin to cover that excess sugar in the amount of food consumed, and decreases its ability to produce insulin, until diabetic to the patient.
Remember the specialist that the obese individual is a poorly nourished person, eats badly, does not consume food of all groups and exaggerates the quantities.This is how this disease originates from poor quality and excess food.
