Signs of diabetes type 1

Insulin is a hormone that permits sugar- glucose to enter the cells and generate energy. Diabetes type 2 is very much common compared to diabetes type 1. In the case of diabetes type 2, our body is unable to generate insulin utilize in proper ways.
 
Numerous factors such as genetic mutation and exposure to several infections cause diabetes type 1. Even though it is generally found in adults, diabetes type1 can occur in any age. Even with extensive development in medical research, scientists haven’t still found any cure on diabetes. Diabetes is incurable and chronic, but it can be controlled and managed. Proper medical treatment with sensible acts will increase the life expectancy of diabetic individual. If implemented certain simple measures, you can live a happy and healthy life with diabetes.
 
Generally, the signs of diabetes show up very easily. Thus it is very much essential to understand the signs of diabetes type1, so that you can start the treatment. The symptoms of type 1 diabetes are as follows:
 
Extreme hunger:
v       As body is not able to generate insulin; sugar enters into cells without the help of insulin. Thus, our body moves sugar into cells without insulin, which weakens our muscles and organs. They loose lot of energy and hence our body demands food at small intervals.
Frequent urination and excessive thirst;
v       Due to excess deposition of sugar in the bloodstream, lot of water is absorbed by tissues. Thus makes us drink ample of water. Hence, we frequently need to visit restroom.
Sudden loss of weight:
v       Even though we eat more than our normal appetite- we may lose excessive amount of weight. As our body is unable to receive energy – the fats stored by your muscles and tissues gradually disappear.
Extreme weakness:
v       Due to insufficient supply of sugar- cells become more weak and irritable
Blurred vision:
v       As the level of sugar in bloodstream increases, it extracts out the fluid from our tissues. They also pull away fluid from eye lenses. This will impair our vision power.
Even though if our medical research is unaware of the reasons that contribute for diabetes type1, scientists have found that people with diabetes type 1 experience malfunctioned immune system. In this case, the immune system mistakenly destroys the insulin generating cells. Not many risk factors of diabetes have come into limelight; scientists have mentioned few of them. Certain factors that increase the risk of diabetes are as follows:
 
Ø       Family history of diabetes
Ø       Genetic mutation
Ø       Environmental factor
Ø       Climatic condition
Ø       Excessive exposure to virus
Ø       Deficiency of vitamin D
Ø       Obesity
Ø       Low intake of omega-3 fatty acids
Ø       Water containing nitrate
 
All these are the possible factors that cause diabetes type 1. The signs of diabetes type 1 will definitely help in diagnosing the disease. This kind of diabetes can be managed with proper nutritional diet, adequate rest, regular exercise, and medicated drugs.
