| Publisher Description: Diabetes occurs due to the inability of the pancreas to produce insulin. Type 1 diabetes is classified as an autoimmune disease. It is a condition in which the immune system of the organism "attacks" its own tissues and organs. It leads to a complete destruction of cells that produce insulin and are located in the pancreas. The disease doesn't occur that often, however, there are some significant variations worldwide. For example, in Europe and the USA, the number of affected people is different in different countries. It is supposed to be related to the increasing trend of obesity in our society. In the last 30 years, the number of people with diabetes has tripled. However, obesity doesn't explain the increase of Type 1 diabetes in children, but some research proposes that it is highly related to unhealthy diet and lifestyle. The main symptoms are the same for both - kids and adults. Usually, these symptoms occur within a few weeks and include thirst, weight loss, fatigue, frequent urination, etc. Symptoms that are more specific to children are bellyache, headache, or behavior problems. Physicians diagnose diabetes when a patient is suffering from an unexplained history of illness or abdominal pain that lasts for a couple of weeks. If you're diagnosed with diabetes, you will be referred to a specialist for this disease. The specific treatment of diabetes means that the majority of medical care is run by hospitals, rather than the family doctors. However, at the end of a day, you're left with your disease and it is up to you to maintain a healthy diet after that. |
