Symptoms Of Diabetes Mellitus
Most of the times Diabetes is asymptomatic, however It is very important to diagnose as early as possible to prevent early and late complications of Diabetes. This is only possible, if you have some knowledge about common symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
Diabetes mellitus is a heterogeneous clinical disorder with numerous causes. Two main classifications of diabetes mellitus exist, idiopathic and secondary. Type 1 diabetes most often manifests in childhood (hence also called juvenile diabetes) and is the result of an autoimmune destruction of the b cells of the pancreas. Idiopathic diabetes is divided into two main types : insulin dependent and non-insulin-depenedent. Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM (Type 1) is defined by the development of ketoacidosis in the absence of insulin therapy.
Glucose is an important source of energy for cells of our body.
Glucose enters the cells and metabolized to provide energy.
How does glucose enter in cells? It enters the cells with help of Insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced by Pancreas. Suppose there is no insulin, or insulin production is decreased. Obviously, Glucose level in blood will increase and we will have a condition what we call as Diabetes Mellitus.
How will we relate these symptoms with Diabetes. Remember, most of symptoms are directly related to higher levels of Glucose in Blood.
