DIABETES

Diabetes, which is at the forefront among the diseases of the age, is a type of disease that plays the first role in the formation of many deadly diseases and is very common all over the world.

Fasting blood glucose level in healthy individuals is in the range of 70-100 mg/dL. If the blood sugar level rises above this range, it usually indicates diabetes. The cause of the disease is insufficient or no production of insulin hormone for any reason, or the body tissues become insensitive to insulin.

There are many different types of diabetes mellitus, the most common type that usually occurs in individuals over the age of 35-40 is Type 2 diabetes. In Type 2 diabetes, which is also known as insulin resistance, although insulin production in the pancreas is sufficient, insensitivity to this hormone develops due to the inactivity of the insulin hormone-sensing receptors in the cells. In this case, blood sugar cannot be transported to the tissues by insulin and the blood glucose level rises above normal. This condition manifests itself with symptoms such as dry mouth, weight loss, drinking a lot of water and eating a lot.
