What Is Diabetes
Diabetes mellitus (or just diabetes ) is a metabolic disorder associated with elevated blood glucose. Normally, we take in glucose from the stomach when we eat foods containing carbohydrates. The glucose elevation triggers the islet cells in the pancreas to put out a hormone known as insulin. Insulin binds to cells in the body allowing the cells to take up the glucose to use as fuel for cells.
Without insulin production or with insulin resistance, glucose cannot get into the cells, which do not get enough nutrients and the sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream elevates, damaging organs and blood vessels. This is when diabetes occurs.
Two Types of Diabetes
T he first is type 1 diabetes, which is considered an autoimmune disease where the body makes antibodies that destroy the islet cells of the pancreas, leading to very low insulin levels and extremely high blood sugar (glucose) levels. Once the death of the islet cells occurs, the process is irreversible. The patient s only recourse is to take shots of short, medium, and/or long acting insulin to make up for the insulin the body doesn t make. Type 1 diabetes is often referred to as insulin dependent.
The second is called type 2 diabetes. In this type of diabetes, the individual makes enough insulin; however, the cells become resistant to it and even with elevated insulin levels, not enough glucose enters the cells. The blood sugar rises and causes the same complications as type 1 diabetes. Fortunately, this type of diabetes can be treated with medication, healthy lifestyle choices, and other natural therapies. Type 2 diabetes, unlike type 1 can be reversed, with weight loss and healthy diet.
Diagnosis Of Type 2 Diabetes
D iagnosis of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes is made by a doctor, and is based on a blood test known as the Hemoglobin A1C. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, lab analysis of blood is required to ensure accurate results.
While glucose-measuring devices (finger stick tests pictured on the left) either used at home or at the doctor s office can be used to track and manage blood glucose on a regular basis, they are not accurate enough for diagnosis.
The A1C became the standard test for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes in 2009 and is reported as a percentage: Normal reading is below 5.7% 5.7% to 6.4% indicates prediabetes, and those with a reading above 6.0% are considered at a very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes Any reading over 6.5% means a person has diabetes
Risk Factors For Type 2 Diabetes
Anyone can get type 2 diabetes, but certain high risk factors exist: People age 45 and older Those who are obese or overweight with a BMI or 35 or more Those who have had gestational diabetes When type 2 diabetes runs in the family Those who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes Poor lifestyle choices, like unhealthy diet and lack of exercise Those who have low HDL (good) cholesterol or high triglycerides Those who have high blood pressure African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders are at higher risk for contracting this disease
The Statistics
D iabetes can occur at any age. The numbers below as reported by the American Diabetes Association, the Diabetes Prevention Program and other government authorities show the staggering prevalence of diabetes, and specifically the preventable type 2 diabetes which accounts for most of the cases in the United States. 29.1 million adults in the United States have diabetes, of those 90% to 95% are diagnosed with type 2. This equates to 1 in 10 adults age 20 to 64. Diabetes incidence increases with age. About 26% of people 65 years of age or older have diabetes, this equates to 1 in 4 senior adults. Of the 29 million diabetics, only 21 million have been diagnosed and 8 million remain undiagnosed and have no idea they have the disease. 1 out of 3 babies born in 2000 will develop diabetes. 86 million people age 20 years had prediabetes in 2012. That s up from 79 million in 2010. Pre-diabetes is the occurrence of insulin resistance and mildly elevated levels of blood sugar but not enough to meet the criteria for diabetes. If a person who is diagnosed with pre-diabetes continues an unhealthy lifestyle that promotes it, they can easily tip the scales toward the diagnosis of diabetes. Diabetes is the 7 th leading cause of death in the U.S. Diabetes alone is the cause of death in about 69,000 people per year. It is listed as a contributing factor toward death in another 234,000 death certificates. The incidence of diabetes varies among different ethnic groups. It makes up 7.6% of the population in Caucasians and 9% of the Asian population. The rates of diabetes are higher in non-Hispanic blacks at 13.2% and American Indians or Alaskan natives at 15.9%. 9.2% of pregnancies are diagnosed with gestational diabetes. Women who develop gestational diabetes during pregnancy have a 35% to 60% chance of developing type 2 diabetes within 10 to 20 years following the pregnancy. Diagnosed cases of diabetes cost the United States an estimated $245 billion in 2012, and the figure is only expected to rise.
