Diabetes
mellitus, or high blood sugar, is often referred to as a
"silent killer." It can ravage your body for years
without showing any outward signs. The most common symptoms
are: excess urination, thirst and hunger; also problems with
fatigue, weight, healing, and blurred vision. It
destroys the kidneys, numbs the nerves in the lower legs, clouds the vision and damages
the heart and all the while one could feel
fine. The
complications of diabetes often result in major disability and
premature death but they may be delayed or prevented.
A deficiency of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas is the cause. When the body doesn't produce insulin, or doesn't use it correctly, it can't make use of its main fuel -- sugar. Untreated, diabetes can lead to blindness, vascular disease, kidney disease, neuropathy, and other problems. For those who must live with diabetes, life often means a total readjustment of their lifestyle. It becomes necessary to carefully monitor one's diet and blood sugar, may require injections of insulin and increased exercise.
