Diabetes is a health problem caused by high blood glucose. The train doesn't run without oil. The human body is a kind of instrument. And the oil in this device is a substance called glucose. Just as oxygen is needed to burn train oil , our bodies need a substance called insulin to use glucose. The function of insulin is to pull glucose particles from the blood into the body's cells. This insulin is made from the pancreas. Blood glucose rises when the pancreas cannot make enough insulin or the body cannot use the insulin produced properly. And as a result, various inconsistencies are created in the body. It is called diabetes. Glucose is made from the food that a diabetic patient is consuming. And not all of this glucose is being used in his body , that is, excess glucose is being mixed in his blood. As a result, his blood is becoming thicker than usual. This thick blood is getting blocked to flow through the thin blood vessels. And it is slowly closing the blood circulation. And in the way that blood does not reach, no oxygen reaches. As a result, the cells inside the body cannot survive due to lack of oxygen. That means sudden death of some tissues. In this way the body instrument will advance on the path of mutilation. Excess glucose mixes with the bloodstream, causing kidney failure. Not only that , one by one all the limbs are crippled and death is imminent at an impossible rate. Diabetes is not just for the elderly. Children can also get diabetes. Lately, due to the decrease in physical activities (sports , exercise, etc.), many young children and adolescents are also getting diabetes. The number of children with diabetes is increasing due to lack of balanced diet and exercise. More than 15,000 children in Bangladesh are suffering from diabetes. The same symptoms that occur in an older person with diabetes also occur in pediatric patients. Types of diabetes: There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes shows symptoms very quickly and develops very quickly , usually within two to three weeks. The symptoms go away quickly if they are kept under control. Type 2 diabetes settles in the body very slowly , over a period of several years. It can only be detected by regular medical checkups. If kept under control, the symptoms can be eliminated. Symptoms: Among the main symptoms that are commonly seen are: - Frequent urination , especially at night. - Frequent thirst. - Getting tired very quickly. - Sudden rapid weight loss. - Genital itching and fungal infections. - If the cut is torn anywhere on the body , the wound dries very slowly. - Blurred vision. Who is more likely to get diabetes: People who have diabetes in their family are more likely to get type 1 diabetes. In addition, the risk of developing type 2 diabetes increases with age - the risk of developing diabetes increases with age. A. Asians and Africans are more likely to have diabetes. B. When a mother carries an overweight child in her womb, she is more likely to develop diabetes. Overweight men, such as those with a waist size of more than 35 inches and women over 40 inches, are more likely to develop diabetes. D. Living a lazy life increases the risk of diabetes. Prevention: Diabetes can be prevented by following certain rules. One study found that just a few simple steps can reduce the risk of diabetes by 60 percent. 1. Eating healthy foods: Extra fast food (burgers , sandwiches , pizza , sharma , chips , french fries, etc.) , soft drinks and any sweet food including chocolate greatly increases the risk of diabetes. Keep your child away from these and discourage them from eating these , explain its disadvantages in simple language. Make a habit of eating at home. And put lots of fruits and vegetables on your daily food chart. Make it a habit to eat at specific times each day. 2. Exercise at least 20 minutes a day as a rule , and ask your child to join you. Your motivation is to keep them healthy. 3. Maintain normal body weight (BMI between 18.5-24.9). Normal-weight men have an 80 percent lower risk and normal-weight women have an 8 percent lower risk of developing diabetes. 4. Avoid smoking and avoid alcohol. 5. You can buy a diabetes measuring device at home , which is called glucometer in English. These are available cheaply in the market lately. As a rule , get your family tested for diabetes at least once a month. Many diabetics are seen taking insulin for control. Do not take insulin without consulting a doctor! Again , do not take insulin without consulting a doctor! Those who already have diabetes , and those who are taking prescription insulin , will not stay on an empty stomach for long. This can lead to hypoglycemia (low blood glucose) which is not a very happy outcome. Adherence to these guidelines is very effective in preventing diabetes. Horror: Diabetes is a major health problem. Some call it the mother of all other deadly diseases. The relationship of wood to worms, the relationship of diabetes with the body. That is to say, just as the durability of wood is lost when it is caught , the body breaks down quickly if diabetes is uncontrolled. Uncontrolled diabetes can cause complete or partial destruction of vital organs in our heart , kidneys , eyes , teeth , and nervous system. People with diabetes are 4 times more likely to have a heart attack than others. Medications: Diabetes diets include insulin and some medications. Their main function is to control blood glucose levels and keep them at normal levels. However, these drugs are somewhat expensive.
