In the recent years, diabetes has become the most common disease all around the world. Diabetes is sometimes more specifically called diabetes mellitus.
There are three main types of diabetes present throughout the world. Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes and gestational diabetes. Type 2 diabetes is the most common of all these types of diabetes.
Type 1 and type 2 differ slightly in their causes and effects. Type 2 diabetes is also called "insulin resistant" diabetes. According to the pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes, it may occur because of insulin resistance in the patient's body. Insulin is the natural agent that helps the body cells in the absorption of sugars present in blood.
Once absorbed, the body cells then use these sugars to provide the much needed energy to the body. In this way, insulin becomes an important factor in regulating blood sugar levels.
But sometimes, due to any reason whatever, the pancreas stops producing enough insulin or the body develops a resistance towards its presence and no matter how much insulin is present in the blood, the body does not absorb blood sugars.
To absorb this entire sugar, pancreas produces a lot of insulin and over a matter of time body stops reacting to such high levels of insulin. Other type 2 diabetes symptoms include excessive weight loss, unexplained hunger, frequent thirst and urination, tiredness and irritability.
Diabetic pathophysiology is the study of how the body changes when it is afflicted with diabetes. The pathophysiology that underlies most of the body changes associated with diabetes - such as hypertension, heart disease, hardening of the arteries, and so on - is the body's inability to utilize and dispose of the excess sugar in the bloodstream
Even though type 2 diabetes can progress to type 1, the pathophysiology of diabetes type one is different from that of diabetes type two, hence the different methods of treating them.
The pathophysiology of type 2 diabetes is a combination of a number of things. Just one more reason why it's critical that those suffering from diabetes or pre-diabetes monitor their health diligently. Diabetes is also associated with more minor diseases.
When researchers look at the pathophysiology, it appears that this condition occurs because of the effect of hyperglycemia or high blood sugar on nerves and nerve endings.Get your mom a plastic spoon
