Diabetes: Achieving the Blood Sugar Balance.

There is a common ailment that has been ravaging the world, and it continues to increase year after year. This ailment is called "Diabetes".

Diabetes is a disorder that occurs when the body does not either effectively utilize the insulin produced by the pancreas (pancreas; an organ located behind the stomach) or the pancreas does not produce adequate insulin.

Now, most of the food we consume mostly ends up as sugar(glucose) which our body needs to break so it can be absorbed by our cells to produce energy. It is the "insulin" that breaks this sugar (glucose). If the sugar does not get into the cells, it stays in the blood. If the sugar in our blood is low, it is termed "hypoglycemia" if it is high, it is termed hyperglycemia. In either of the cases it is dangerous i.e both hypoglycemia and hyperglycemia, there has to be a balance.

Types of Diabetes (Polygenic Diabetes).

Type 1: (Insulin dependent): This occurs when the pancreas does not produce adequate Insulin needed by the body. Symptoms include;
Frequent urination (polyuria)
Frequent desire to drink water (polydipsia)
Constant hunger
Loss of weight
Change in vision and
Fatigue

Type 2: (non-Insuline dependent): This results from the body's inability to effectively utilize Insulin. The symptoms in Type 2 Diabetes are similar to those in

Type 1 Diabetes and may occur suddenly.
Gestational Diabetes: It is hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). It occurs in pregnant women, it however goes away after child delivery. Women with gestational diabetes may have complications during pregnancy and delivery. These women and their children have a high tendency of getting type 2 diabetes later in life. It is diagnosed via prenatal screening rather than through symptoms.

Prediabetes.
This occurs due to hyperglycemia, but the high blood sugar is not high enough to result to type 2 diabetes. It is actually a warning sign of type 2 diabetes. Prediabetes can exist in a person without symptoms, although there may be indications of its presence due to;
Tiredness
Frequent desire to eat
Polyuria
Inexplicable loss of weight, inspite of high food consumption and

Polydipsia
Prediabetes can be hereditary if somebody in the family line had or has diabetes. Other risk factors include, consuming foods with high sugar content, sedentary lifestyle, excessive weight. It can be reversed by adopting a healthy lifestyle by; cutting down on foods with high sugar content, and exercising or by medication from a certified doctor.

Diabetes Insipidus.
This is an uncommon condition in which large amount of urine is produced by the kidney.

Aren't they illegal immigrants that want to leave before the official mass deportation to save themselves the embarrassment?

I agree.
I got mine in August this year and it's been good so far.
I wanted a backup phone that could handle the basics.
Good battery life and ample space, it handles many tasks. The only issue I have with mine is the video playback that seems to lag. I think it's my device because other people I've seen don't seem to have the same issue with theirs.

when they people itel phones are good they think it's a joke.

I wish l could speak YORUBA and IGBO but sad enough l can only speak my mother's tongue which is FULFULDE (FULANI) and HAUSA fluently. But l guess it's still not too late to learn the two languages (Yoruba and IGBO).

Relaxer is not natural

it is a cleaner and a hair softener just like the soap you use to take your bath and the oil you anoint on your body.

Nonsense, you think this country can get better with violence? No, she is not facing the hardship that's why she is spweing trash.

USA topping, not surprised. Sport is part of their educational curriculum.

What is it with African women and hair braiding? something I can't decipher. I prefer the hair relaxed, then dried in a hair dryer. Simple, natural and beautiful.

People can't go to farms because of insecurity.

Good day everyone, is there anyone who is a pi validator here? Mods please kindly help me move to FP

Which area in Ikorodu is this plant please?

Nigerians taking their filtiness abroad.

That's probably one of the reasons why the white people remained there after colonization. The weather is conducive for them.

The West better wake up. Jihadists want to take over Europe and America.

In terms of infrastructural development, Nigeria has a loooong way to go...
In terms of numbers of Skyscraper of countries in Africa, Nigeria lags really behind...
For a country with largest population...
Even government sef can't build these to solve housing issues...
Even no steady light to power the building elevator...

It is well...

Economic development has nothing to do with sky scrappers. I'm not saying we are developed though.

For some, their clothes are too tight for them to seat the usual way.

The minimum wage is good, $8 multiply that by 8 hrs and the answer by 24. Come on guys.

Yoruba and Hausa-Fulani are the major people destroying this country.

Curious345:
Benue state have no men.. I have since given up on them

So Enugu and other places Fulani herdmen murdered people recently have no men too right? Some people talk idiots.

What's the relationship between Israel and USA that makes them have almost more Jews than Jew native countries

majority of Christopher Columbus crew which discovered America were Jewish.

Can someone still apply? Please send the link.

Please give me her number, since you don't have interest. I would love to meet her.

Nigerians and mediocrity, what's beautiful about Owerri. You people should better travel out and stop being mediocres.

How I wish same thing could happen in the oil and power sector.

Nonsense

Nonybb:
Dangote is one of the stubborn demon holding this country. I wonder why God bless such a wicked man. People don't know this man personally. I remember when Obasanjo favoured this evil genius and he got rich through monopolization; built his cement factory at Kogi. Yet after years of doing so, with FG refusing to allow others import cement, this Fulani evil has refused to crash the price of cement. Then came the Dangote refinery. Who told you people that this Fulani animal would make the product affordable and quench the price increase?

they don't know

hslbroker2:
Good development, I believe Nigeria will get there one day.

Meanwhile check my signature, for building materials supplies.

Are you afraid of them?
