All you need to know about diabetes

What is diabetes?
Is a chronic disease caused by the malfunction of metabolic processes (biological processes) of the material starch, fat and protein in the body,
and result in lack of secretion of the hormone insulin (as in diabetes type I) or a lack of sensitivity of the body's cells to insulin (as in diabetes type II ).
This causes the high level of glucose in the blood due to lack of ability of cells to consumption, and leads to rise in the level of sugar in the blood to many of the complications and chronic problems in various organs of the body.
How is diabetes?
In order to know how diabetes occurs, we must first learn to cells which produce the hormone insulin. Cells, a "beta" found in the pancreas, and are found in clusters called "islets of Langerhans" Islets of Langerhans
Hormone and insulin Insulin is the hormone responsible for regulating the level of glucose in the blood and helps the body's cells to glucose, palatability and acceptance for use in the production of energy.embed; ">Produces type I diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus for the destruction of pancreatic cells, "beta". Until now, scientists did not know exactly why, but the theory is closest to reality is the "theory of autoimmunity."
This theory assumes that the white blood cells produce antibodies Auto-Antibodies destroy the cells of the "beta" found in the pancreas.
The second type of diabetes, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, he's another story.

 This disease occurs as a result of the combined many different factors, the most important is the lack of sensitivity of the cells of the body to the hormone insulin, in addition to lack of insulin secretion from the cells of the "beta" the pancreas.
This is in addition to genetic factors, which is one of the key factors that contribute to the occurrence of disease.
For a better understanding of the disease, imagine a car motor is operating at full capacity for the production of energy needed to run the vehicle but the car does not respond to the power of the motor, which fired because she stuck one of the dunes and can not get out of it.
Here, the commander of the vehicle by pressing on the pedal more fuel to the motor force "exhausted" to produce more energy to run the car, eventually leading to the "failure" Motor vehicle production in the energy due to fatigue and resistance to the sand of the energy produced by ....
This is exactly what happens in diabetes type II Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus, producing cells of the "beta" insulin in large quantities to control the sugar levels increased in the blood, but the body's cells do not respond to insulin, which is produced by cells of the "beta" to fail these cells and less capacity to secrete insulin.
Continued the second part of the article to find out more information about diabetes, and those most susceptible to this disease as well as how to prevent it and methods of treatment of different ...
