Diabetes mellitus

According to experts, there are three types of diabetes are classified according to its nature; disease insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, DM disease that is not dependent on insulin (for people with thin or fat), and patients are associated with nutritional deficiencies. In addition, there are also associated with DM disease symptoms in certain organs such as the pancreas, it hormonal, chemical substances, abnormalities in insulin, and can also be caused by genetics.

In general, diabetes mellitus is caused by a malfunction occurs in part or in large amounts in pancreas organ that should produce insulin substances, and thus called a lack of insulin. Moreover, it can also occur due to dysfunction at the time of entry of glucose into human cells caused by obesity or overweight.

Type of DM caused by a lack of insulin is called type 1 diabetes, while type 2 diabetes from or referred to as diabetes mellitus due to insulin malfunction. Insulin itself is a hormone produced in the pancreas, which shaped gland at the rear of the hull. Insulin has a function to regulate glucose in the body to turn into energy and store the rest in the liver and muscle.

Some researchers have found a new fact that onions may help prevent heart attacks, based on research they have done. Red onions contain sulfur compounds such as ally Propel Disulphide (APDS) and flavonoids such as quercetin.

Flavonoids are believed to reduce the risk of cancer, heart disease and diabetes because he has elements of anti-cancer, anti-bacterial, anti-viral, anti-allergenic and anti-inflammatory. Shallots are also maintaining good cholesterol in the body to stay awake that can help protect against heart disease. These scientists conduct experiments on hamsters for eight weeks.

After eight weeks, cholesterol (LDL) has decreased by 20%. These results support the claim that eating onions regularly can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease.

Strategy to avoid the increasing of blood sugar, can be tried with changing butter with vegetable oil for cooking. Then make it as a habit to consume foods without using sugar. Besides diet, it can be helped by following a doctor’s prescription. Your doctor will give advice to overcome diabet by using drugs with a certain dosage.

Ideally, women’s body consists of 25 – 30% fat, while on men 18 – 23%. When the body fat exceeds more than 30% on women and 25% on men then that person could be categorized as fat or obese. The easy way to calculate the obesity is to compare the height (m) with weight (kg) or known as the Body Mass Index (BMI). Apart from cosmetic problem, obesity is a serious health issue.

In America, there are 300,000 deaths per year that caused by obesity factor. Obesity can lead to serious chronic diseases such as: Insulin Resistance. Insulin allows the body to deliver the glucose as a fuel for energy formation into the cells. By moving the glucose into the cells then the insulin would keep the levels of blood sugar to normal level.

On obese people, there is a high-fat accumulation in their body, while fat is very resistant to the insulin. Thus, to deliver the glucose into fat cells and to keep the blood sugar levels remained normal, the pancreas will produces the insulin in large amounts.

Eventually, the pancreas can no longer produce insulin in large amounts so that the blood sugar levels gradually rise and then there is going to happen what is called type 2 diabetes mellitus.
