Diabetes Mellitus




Diabetes mellitus there is in a person who has a high blood sugar ( glucose ) level, because the body doesn't produce enough insulin, or because body cells don't respond properly to the insulin that is produced. Insulin is a hormone produced in the pancreas which enables body cells to absorb glucose, to adapt to energy. If the body cells do not absorb the glucose, the glucose collects in the blood ( hyperglycemia ), leading to vascular, nerve, and other organs.

There are two main types of diabetes
  • Type 1 diabetes: result from the body do not produce insulin, and requires the person to inject insulin.
  • Type 2 diabetes: result from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin completely, sometimes combine with an insulin's failure.



Nowadays, in my opinion, diabetes is a very dangerous disease because modern people seem to be careless about their health. They eat everything they like without thinking, especially sweets. Diabetes come with the sugar that people eat, so people might get it without realizing. I think the way that people can prevent this disease is to change their eating habit; to eat healthy food substitute for sweets.
