Type 2 Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus type 2 is a chronic disease that is characterized by impaired insulin mechanisms of interaction with cells, the receptor cells, lose sensitivity to it, or a violation of the pancreas, which leads to the fact that iron ceases to synthesize insulin in the appropriate quantity. Type II diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. Approximately 85-90% of diabetics have the second type. Unlike the first diabetes, the second type is characterized by slow progression of the disease. Sometimes it may take several months or even years before diagnosis. Diabetes is often detected by chance, exploring for quite other reasons. Diseased condition of the second type diabetes can significantly improve with diet and regular exercise. You can even cancel sugar-reducing drugs, provided that the patient can lose weight and maintain a healthy body weight. Incorrectly called insulin dependent diabetes type II (Defronzo, 2004, pp. 787-835). Since, in some cases, the patient is prescribed insulin therapy to normalize blood sugar, when sugar-reducing drugs do not help.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 results in elevated blood sugar levels. The elevated blood sugar damages blood vessels and nerves in the long run. This can lead to various organ problems. Type 2 diabetes may lead to; heart attacks, strokes, kidney failures, retinal damages, erectile dysfunction and many others. The term "late effects" is misleading because many diabetes-related diseases can occur at a very early stage of diabetes. In the past, type 2 diabetes is often referred to as "Old Sugar".

The Causes of Type 2 Diabetes

The cause of diabetes type 2 is a genetic predisposition, burdened with excess body weight. Disease develops in people older than 35-40 years, but there are exceptions, and the next diabetes can cause ailment in young people. Sometimes this diabetes called 'diabetic obese ", at the expense of extra weight, and even" elderly diabetes "because it commonly develops in older people. Type II diabetes may also be hereditary.

What happens in the body in Diabetes Mellitus Type 2

Initially, people with diabetes, the second pancreas produce insulin in normal and sometimes excessive volume. The only time of the synthesized insulin is reduced, so that later on may require insulin injections. When fully produced, insulin diabetics still have constantly high blood sugar (if untreated or inadequately-chosen for treatment). This is disturbed perception of the insulin cells of tissues and it is no longer suitable as a "key" that opens the glucose entry into cells, where it is recycled or deposited in reserve, for example, in the form of glycogen in the liver cells. Such a violation is called insulin resistance (Kahn, Haffner, Heis, 2006, pp. 2427-2443).

The second cause of developing diabetes of the second type is when the insulin loses its ability to carry out their actions. That is glucose cannot get into the cells is not that the cell receptors do not take insulin but because ...
