Diabetes affects 34.2 million people of all ages. About 10% of individuals have diabetes in the US. From these stats, 7.3 million adults aged 18 and over are unaware that they have diabetes.
The prevalence of diabetes increases with age. Unawareness, makes you more susceptible to deal with complications such as amputation, heart attacks, stroke, kidney failure and much more.
Its time to get ahead of the curve and take control of your health.
So today we will discuss
1. Overview

3. Types
4. Risk factors
5. Causes
6. Symptoms
7. Complications
Diabetes happens when your body isn't able to take up sugar (glucose) into its cells and use it for energy. This results in a build up of extra sugar in your bloodstream.
Insulin is a hormone made by your pancreas, an organ located behind your stomach. Your pancreas releases insulin into your bloodstream. Insulin acts as the “key” that unlocks the cell wall “door,” which allows glucose to enter your body’s cells. Glucose provides the “fuel” or energy tissues and organs need to properly function.
The types of diabetes are:
Type 1 diabetes: This type is an autoimmune disease, meaning your body attacks itself. In this case, the insulin-producing cells in your pancreas are destroyed. Up to 10% of people who have diabetes have Type 1. It’s usually diagnosed in children and young adults (but can develop at any age). People with Type 1 diabetes need to take insulin every day. This is why it is also called insulin-dependent diabetes.
Type 2 diabetes: With this type, your body either doesn’t make enough insulin or your body’s cells don’t respond normally to the insulin. This is the most common type of diabetes. Up to 95% of people with diabetes have Type 2. It usually occurs in middle-aged and older people. Other common names for Type 2 include adult-onset diabetes and insulin-resistant diabetes.
Prediabetes: This type is the stage before Type 2 diabetes. Your blood glucose levels are higher than normal but not high enough to be officially diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes.
Gestational diabetes: This type develops in some women during their pregnancy. Gestational diabetes usually goes away after pregnancy. However, if you have gestational diabetes you're at higher risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later on in life.
Risk factors for Type 1 diabetes include:
Having a family history (parent or sibling) of Type 1 diabetes.
Injury to the pancreas (such as by infection, tumor, surgery or accident)
Presence of autoantibodies (antibodies that mistakenly attack your own body’s tissues or organs).Physical stress (such as surgery or illness).Exposure to illnesses caused by viruses.
Risk factors for prediabetes and Type 2 diabetes include:
Family history (parent or sibling) of prediabetes or Type 2
Being overweight.
Having high blood pressure.
Having low HDL cholesterol (the “good” cholesterol) and high triglyceride level.
Being physically inactive.
Being age 45 or older.
Having gestational diabetes or giving birth to a baby weighing more than 9 pounds.
Having polycystic ovary syndrome.
Having a history of heart disease or stroke.Being a smoker.
Symptoms of diabetes include:
Increased thirst. Weak, tired feeling. Blurred vision. Numbness or tingling in the hands or feet. Slow-healing sores or cuts. Unplanned weight loss. Frequent urination. Frequent unexplained infections. Dry mouth.
Complications include:
Cardiovascular issues including coronary artery disease, chest pain, heart attack, stroke, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, atherosclerosis (narrowing of the arteries).
Nerve damage (neuropathy) that causes numbing and tingling that starts at toes or fingers then spreads.
Kidney damage (nephropathy) that can lead to kidney failure or the need for dialysis or transplant.
Eye damage (retinopathy) that can lead to blindness; cataracts, glaucoma.
Foot damage including nerve damage, poor blood flow and poor healing of cuts and sores.
Skin infections. Erectile dysfunction. Hearing loss. Depression. Dementia. Dental problems.
