Everyone likes sweets, but if this sweet increases in our blood, then it takes the form of a terrible disease. We are talking here about diabetes which is also known as sugar or diabetes. About one in 11 people in the world has diabetes. About 7 crore people in India have this disease. Half of the people who have this disease in our country do not even know that they have this disease.
What is Diabetes?
The cells present in our body are like a vehicle, which need fuel to run and this fuel is a type of sugar called glucose. When we eat food, glucose is formed as a result of digestion, this glucose gives energy to the cells of our body, due to which we are able to work, a hormone helps to transport this glucose to the cells, which is called insulin. If the amount of insulin decreases in the body, then it is not able to reach the glucose to the cell, due to which this glucose starts dissolving in the blood and a disease like diabetes arises.
Type of Diabetes
There are two types of diabetes, its details are given below.
Type-1 Diabetes
There is an organ in our body called pancreas, which works to make insulin in our body. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas is unable to make insulin in our body or is able to make very little. Type 1 diabetes is mostly seen in young people in children, to control this type of diabetes, insulin injections have to be taken daily.
Type-2 Diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is seen in most of the people. In this type of diabetes, the pancreas makes less insulin or insulin is not able to deliver glucose to the cells, due to which the amount of glucose in our body keeps on increasing.
