It is defined as diabetes to the inability of the organism to produce enough insulin or to use it effectively.
It can be a devastating disease that would virtually affect the full body.The good news?If treated correctly and on time, it does not imply great risks.
Early detection and monitoring of medical indications could improve the patient prognosis considerably.
This was stated by Dr. Ammar Ibrahim, director of the National Institute of Diabetes (INDEN), who also explained that many people do not present any symptoms of the disease, while others may present some specific ones, which does not mean that they can develop it.
Ibrahim exclaimed that diabetes is a very bearable disease, which can be controlled, as long as the patient takes from his doctor's advice, he receives his treatment properly and goes routinely and according to his doctor's requirements to his doctorControls
He argued that carrying these requirements, the person will have a “healthy” life, which will represent less complications and in case of presenting them in the future will be very easy to solve.
The specialist emphasized that the above is only applied to disciplined patients.
"We have patients who are 30 or 40 years old with diabetes and live a normal life," he said.
On the other hand, people who deny that they have the disease or do not accept it, either by a phase of denial or by a pathological denial, which can last from a minute to years, according to the doctor, they will present serious medical complications.
The doctor insists that it is not enough to take the medications for the disease, if eating habits are not changed, exercise is not done, and the intake of sweet food is not lowered, it is clear that medications alone will not solve, whatwhich causes the patient to present serious health complications.
“Diabetes affects all body organs.When it is not controlled, it does not leave a single organ;It goes from the brain and ends on the feet, ”Ibrahim warned.
He insisted that due to the inappropriate management of sugar there is no system or part of the body that does not mistreat this disease.
Face diabetes.The doctor explained that with adequate medications, years of exercises, and a correct diet can be maintained the blood glucose levels -although slightly high -, within the acceptable levels, because it is the rise and descent of the sugarconstantly what causes damage to the body.
Change the lifestyle.If a person receives the diagnosis that he suffers from diabetes, he must immediately do blur and account in their habits.
"Patients should not see these changes as a punishment, but rather as something pleasant," the doctor emphasized.
He regrets that when a doctor tells a patient to exercise, eat healthy to avoid fats and consume fruits and vegetables, many see it as a form of punishment, this being the opposite, since the same represents an improvement for theirhealth status.
Pre -diabetic group.Among people who do not suffer from the disease, there is a vulnerable group called pre -diabetics, which have a tendency to suffer from it, so they must try to maintain their appropriate sugar levels and become constant reviews ..
This group is made up of people who have high risk factors, such as family history-if there are people with diabetes in your family, you are more risk of suffering from it-people overweight, because obesity is an important factor fordevelop the condition;Problems during pregnancy or give birth to a overweight child, in addition to food and sedentary life.
He stressedIn addition, at present, age ranges to suffer from type 2 diabetes are decreasing considerably.
"Before type 2 diabetes began at 30.40 or 50 years, but now there is a segment of young people and children with this type of diabetes, which is directly related to obesity and lifestyle," the specialist recalled.
