Diabetes Mellitus - Maybe you often hear about diabetes mellitus. Yes, diabetes mellitus is one disease that can cause potentially fatal. But do you know about diabetes mellitus? How diabetes mellitus can affect you? Here's a little review of diabetes mellitus.
Diabetes mellitus is derived from the Greek, "diabetes" which means showers and "mellitus" meaning honey or sugar. So the analogy of diabetes mellitus on many urine out sweet because it contains sugar. Therefore this disease called diabetes mellitus. Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by increased levels of sugar in the blood that occurs due to decreased production and decreased sensitivity of insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. For those of you who still do not understand, this is how the logic and analogy :
Blood vessels described as pipes, glucose rocks described as existing in the pipeline and should be delivered to the cell tube. Tube cells described as the cell body, whereas the insulin receptor is described as a funnel introduction to the rock. without a mouthpiece, a rock will not get into the tube. Well, under normal conditions the pipeline will deliver rocks through a funnel (insulin receptor). If the funnel is experiencing interference or damage to the stones can not get to the tube and settles in the pipes (blood vessels). If this situation continued, the more rocks that settles in the pipeline.
If the above analogy applied to humans, the blood glucose in normal circumstances can be delivered to the cells via the insulin receptor. However, if the impaired insulin receptor, the blood glucose can not be delivered into the cells of the body and settles in the blood vessels. cells of the body will respond to this by sending a signal that the cells do not obtain the glucose, so glucose will continue to be produced to meet the needs of the cell. However, because blood glucose can not enter the cells then over time there will be an increase in blood glucose. Thus, a person can be infected with diabetes mellitus.
The symptoms of diabetes mellitus is divided into two major symptoms (classic symptoms) and the accompanying symptoms (atypical symptoms).
Which included in the main symptoms (typical) are as follows :
1. Polyuria (urinating a lot). Polyuria occurs because of the many substances that interfere with blood sugar kidney filtration process, the frequency of excessive urination at night, which can reach 4-6 times a night.
2. Polidopsi (much to drink). Polidopsi will occur in people with diabetes mellitus, namely the characteristics of the patient will always feel thirsty because a lot of urination.
3. Polifagi (lots of eating). People with diabetes mellitus will always feel hungry even after eating a lot. This is caused by the failure of glucose to enter the cells and produce energy.
While that includes accompanying symptoms (atypical symptoms) are as follows :
1. Blurred vision.
2. Itching in pubic.
3. Tired, have less energy, and sleepiness.
4. Healing wounds.
5. legs are tingling.
6. Decline in sexual function.
7. If the diabetic patient gave birth, the baby's condition are born tend to be large.
8. Prolonged vaginal discharge.
Well after reading the article above, if you already know about Diabetes Mellitus and its symptoms? Hopefully what we say it can benefit you. Start a healthy lifestyle from now, because the disease only comes when we are off guard. Greetings healthy.!!!
