Diabetology

Diabetes is a disorder in which the blood sugar (glucose) level becomes extremely high because of a lack or inefficiency of the hormone Insulin, which is secreted by the pancreatic beta-cells and prevents glucose from entering the cells. When blood sugar levels surpass a particular threshold (>180 mg%), extra sugar begins to pass into the urine (glucosuria).

What takes place in a patient with Diabetes?

Food is digested in the stomach and small intestines, turned into glucose, and absorbed into the circulation. Insulin helps it enter millions of cells from blood. After eating, the pancreas releases insulin automatically. Cells burn glucose, a fuel, to provide energy for our body.

Insulin insufficiency or inefficiency causes diabetes. Insulin moves blood glucose into cells (for the release of energy). With diabetes, glucose can’t enter cells and rises in blood (Hyperglycaemia). Diabetics are usually weary because their cells can’t create energy.

    Fibre Content – Consuming a lot of fibre can help with blood sugar control. In this regard, soluble dietary fibre seems to be superior to insoluble fibre.

    Stress – You may be able to control your blood sugar levels by controlling your stress levels through exercise or relaxation techniques like yoga.

    Hydration – Hydration helps lower blood sugar levels and the risk of developing diabetes. Avoid beverages with added sugar and opt instead for water and zero-calorie liquids.
