Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus - a condition in which the quantitative insulin can not be reduced, but for some reason or the insulin produced by the "wrong", or receptors that are located on the cells and are sensitive to this hormone does not work (this is called insulin resistance of peripheral receptors).
Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (or diabetes type II) in contrast to insulin-dependent diabetic (first type) is developing mainly among older people - usually after 35-40 years. Heredity does not play such a big role in the development of diabetes type (except if the mother and father suffer from insulin-dependent diabetes, but such cases are rare). Yet allocate more significant in the development of diabetes type number of modifying factors. These include:
- Overweight and obesity
- Pronounced atherosclerosis, hypertension, ischemic heart disease
- Pathology of pregnancy
- Associated disease of the endocrine system.
As we have already noted, the peripheral insulin receptors have a key and the causal mechanism of diabetes type two. Since the cells are not sensitive to insulin, they are "not aware" that the glucose must enter the cell and digested. Insulin in the blood of many swims and swims in the same sea of glucose. At some point, when the pancreas exhausts all its secretory resources, it becomes exhausted and ceases to produce the desired amount of insulin. We develop an absolute insulin deficiency. Cells did not receive their lawful sugar, forced to look back towards production of energy. And for this purpose used the burning of fat. In the process of combustion by-products are formed (the so-called acetone bodies), which otravlyayusche affect the body in high concentrations.
Clinically, diabetes is manifested increased thirst, frequent urination, dry mouth. Sometimes patients reported nausea, loss of appetite, weakness and lethargy, due to the toxic effect of acetone bodies.
Set-insulin dependent diabetes can be diagnosed only on the basis of the study of blood glucose. Besides simple analysis to perform a stress test on glucose tolerance. Be carefully monitored indicator of blood glucose (blood sugar) over time.
Treatment of insulin dependent diabetes can be carried tableting hypoglycemic agents (attention! Preparations should appoint a doctor!) Only a specialist can find the right medication and appropriate dosage. Do not take drugs themselves or someone malokompetentnoy recommendations. In addition, each diabetic should remember that his treatment is not only the reception of tablets, it is also compliance with diet and diet, the designated doctor. And also measured physical load, which helps burn excess glucose, increases insulin sensitivity, promotes weight loss and allows a slightly lower dose of hypoglycemic drugs. But exercise should be selected individually and very carefully, so the gathering of a tear bar is not necessary. Be pre-consult with your doctor, what kind of load will suit you and what the intensity of its implementation you are required to achieve therapeutic effect.
