Diabetes mellitus, degenerative and incurable disease
Summary
Diabetes mellitus is a degenerative and incurable disease that triggers several complications which we have to avoid following the different pharmacological and non -pharmacological treatments. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is characterized by high glucose levels, this is because the patient has insulin secretion resistance. There are several factors that predispose to suffer DM2. To avoid it it is important to reduce risk factors such as hypercholesterolemia and hypertension. It is important that the patient perform physical exercises and have healthy eating. It is considered a disease with great impact on the quality of life of the population, in Ecuador in 2016 it was the second cause of death that is why we must prevent it
Introduction
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a chronic degenerative and incurable disease, but favorably if there are treatments to have a better lifestyle. This DM2 is characterized by hyperglycemia due to a cellular resistance to insulin actions, combined with a poor insulin secretion by the pancreas, other factors that predispose to suffer from DM2 is
- Race or ethnicity, since the Spanish -American and indigenous African -American population has high diabetes index
- Age greater than 45 years
- High blood pressure (hypertension)
- Background of gestational diabetes in women
- Triglycerid levels greater than 250 mg/dl
This DM2 triggers several acute complications between those: skin complications, eye complications (retinopathy), neuropathy, feet complications, ketoacidosis, kidney disease (nephropathy), stroke and heart diseases, this DM2 usually appears in peoplewith adulthood although the risk of DM2 increases in children and adolescents due to the high consumption of carbohydrates and sugars. The DM2 is closely associated with obesity, little or no physical activity and a bad food, the most affected people are those suffering from arterial hypertension, high levels of blood cholesterol and obesity in the epigastric middle part of the abdomen, among the symptoms More common from diabetes this: polydipsia (eager to drink water) polyphia (much hunger) polyuria (eager to do pipi), weight loss, poor erectile diffusion, blurred vision, cuts that take time to heal, ant limbs, frequent infections in the urinary tract among other symptoms, there is a high increase of people suffering from diabetes worldwide at the beginning of the 21st century, the figures were 150 million, in 2014 the figures amounted to 225-230 million, it escaped That by 2025 people with diabetes are 380 million, in Ecuador Diabetes is the second cause of death according to the National Institute of Statistics and Censuses INEC in 2016 there were 4.906 Deaths by Diabetes. It is determined that a person has DM2 when one of the following biochemical criteria is present: fasting glycemia equal to or greater than 126 mg/dl, glycemia after food intake equal to or greater than 200 md/dl and present symptoms of polyphiapolydipsia and polyuria in certain cases there is loss of weight. Advantageously there are pharmacological and non -pharmacological treatments for this DM2 and these treatments aimsActive life, insulin therapy, metamorphic This metamorphic will cause the amount of glucose that occurs in the liver to be reduced and helps the body use insulin better. It is called a correct treatment when the glucosylated hemoglobin value (HBA1C) is between 6.5 and 7.0%, glucosylated hemoglobin is the blood test used to monitor diabetic patients who are following a treatment and thus seeBlood glucose levels between the last 2 to 3 months, the determination of HBA1C helps us determine if the treatment is being effective. By not performing a good treatment there will be complications these complications appear when there is a lotHeart attacks, it is important to keep blood glucose levels within 70-100 mg/dl. There are three types of prevention for DM2
- Primary prevention: It includes reducing the incidence of DM2 in the general population and especially in people who have a history of diabetic relatives, who are old greater than 45 years, hypertension and hypertriglyceridemia, good eating habits must be promotedPhysical favors insulin sensitivity in various habits: as in vascular flow, glut 4 conveyors, activity of the intentasy glycogenos. Physical activity also reduces the incidence of diabetes in people who have glucose intolerance
- Secondary prevention: it covers in an early diagnosis and also an early effective treatment for the disease with the aim of delayPhysical together with medications that increase the secretion of insulin metformin, caress and rosiglitazone
- Tertiary prevention: It encompasses to avoid and delay the complications of the disease mentioned above and also avoid damage to the organism’s tissues that can lead us to an amputation of some limb
It should be noted that diabetes specialists have come to the conclusion that if we want
conclusion
Type 2 diabetes mellitus is a disease that has increased significantly in recent years, so it is very important to prevent it in Ecuador is the second cause of death in a chronic disease that occurs when the organism does not effectively use the insulin it produces, insulin is a very important hormone because it is the one that will regulate blood sugar levels. People with DM2 are characterized by high blood glucose levels and this makes several organs degenerate, it is usually a disease that is detected yearsAfter suffering from the most common symptoms, this polyphagia, polyuria and in certain cases the patient usually loses weight. That is why it is important that people take blood exams every 6 months. DM2 represents most cases of diabetes due to great body weight and physical inactivity, since we should not only control and worry about glucose levels we must also worry about risk factors, since these can lead us to adiabetes. It is important that the patient maintains a healthy diet that performs at least 30 minutes of daily exercise in order to prevent DM2. To conclude.
