For ages, people have been aware of diabetes mellitus. The Greek term “Diabetes” means “to pass through, to flow through,” while the word “Mellitus” means “sweet.”
A person with diabetes has elevated blood glucose levels (sometimes known as sugar levels). The hormone insulin controls the quantity of glucose in the blood and is produced by the pancreas.
Diabetes is becoming more common today. With today’s new lifestyles, urban populations are much more prone to heart disease, diabetes, and hypertension. This has been demonstrated in numerous research that has been published globally.
Diabetes is a lifelong metabolic disorder that affects your whole body. It can be effectively managed but is never cured. But remember that having your diabetes under control is almost as good as being considered normal.
The cornerstone of diabetes treatment and essential to integrating people with diabetes into society is education.
Unfortunately, most people with diabetes have limited knowledge of their condition. The patients’ blissful ignorance of the risks lulls them into complacency, which worsens their diabetes control. Today, the role of education in the management of diabetes is acknowledged by all medical specialists.
The purpose of educating people with diabetes about their condition is to:
“The key is to live a disciplined life”.
Most individuals have inaccurate perceptions of diabetes and believe it to be a very restricting condition. This is probably true, as most advice solely consists of “don’t do’s.
The actual circumstances are entirely different. Most of the time, diabetics can be as liberated as non-diabetics because there are so few rules to obey.
The ability to have a healthier, more fulfilling life can be increased for people with diabetes with adequate information about the disease and an understanding of how to apply this knowledge in daily life.
The best news is that many issues can now be avoided thanks to our new knowledge.
Diabetics’ lives have possibility of vision loss, renal failure, and nerve damage. Since maintaining blood sugar levels close to normal makes people feel better and gives hope that long-term complications can be avoided or minimized and treated more effectively, making them healthy.
