Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic endocrine pathology due to excessive levels of glucose in the blood, which is associated with its improper absorption by the body. A common disease occurs due to a deficiency in a hormone such as insulin. If the disease is not treated, it will progress, which will ultimately lead to impaired metabolism, a destructive process in which various organs, vessels and the nervous system are involved. Diabetes is a type of disease that is classified according to the severity of the course and the cause that caused them.

• Type 1 diabetes affects mainly children and young people who can die without daily insulin injections.
• The second type of diabetes occurs mainly in older people who have a history of being overweight.
• Secondary diabetes is rarely diagnosed and usually against a background of another disease.
• The latent type is characterized by an asymptomatic course.
• A gestational form of the disease occurs with a temporary increase in blood sugar, for example, during pregnancy.

Causes of the disease

Factors contributing to the occurrence of insulin deficiency are:

• An unbalanced diet, which is dominated by foods with high levels of fats, preservatives, dyes, as well as sweets.
• Genetic predisposition.
• Viral infections.
