How diabetes develop in human body?

This article explains step by step (click the video link attached to learn) how diabetes develops in the human body.

  • How does diabetes develop in the human body?
What goes into the mouth, and what burns out of the body is a health concern. The high sugar food goes into the human body, and no burn-out means the chances of developing diabetes are high.

The simple diabetes-free formulate is the lesser sugar food intake the lesser the chances of developing diabetes. 

For those individuals who have a family history of diabetes; it's important to reduce sugar intake as much as possible, as the chances of triggering genetic deposits in their bodies are very high.

  • How sugar is processed.
The food is safely transported into the stomach from the mouth. The stomach processes the food where all the foods are breakdown into carbohydrates, protein and fats. Once the processing is complete, it converts to glucose and is discharged into the bloodstream to fuels the body.

  • How insulin is release?
The pancreas produces insulin and releases it into the body. The insulin purpose is to regulate the glucose in the bloodstream. The insulin acts like a key that opens the cell doors to feed the muscles and fat cells. 

  • How insulin (key) is destroyed?
What goes wrong is; when there is too much glucose in the bloodstream, it paralyzes the functions of insulin, thus destroys the shape of the key. Just imagine when your house door key is broken; you find it difficult to open the door. That's what exactly happens in diabetic patients.

The pancreas continues to produce insulin, however, the significant presence of sugar, continue to destroys the shape of a key, so the sugar increases in the body.

For example: If you overload your car with lots of cargoes, the type breaks down. What do you do? You replace the damage type and reduce the load. This is what the curative medicine branch does.

If the sugar presence is diagnosed early the patients are asked to reduce the sugar food intake, get medicine, and engage in lifestyle modification programs.

Chronic diabetic patients are supported by self-insulin injection; reduce the sugar food intake; order medicine, and engage in lifestyle modification programs.

What is high blood pressure?

What is HBP?
HBP
HBP, or High Blood Pressure, is a chronic health condition characterized by elevated blood pressure levels. It is also known as hypertension. There are two types of HBP: primary (essential hypertension) and secondary hypertension. Primary hypertension is usually a result of genetic factors and develops gradually over time. Secondary hypertension is linked to other health conditions.

How can you determine if you have hypertension?
The best way to identify if you have hypertension is by regularly checking your blood pressure. This can be done in a healthcare provider's office or at home. Multiple readings showing high blood pressure levels confirm the diagnosis.

How do you check your blood pressure?
If you are using a manual blood pressure machine cuff, you will also need a stereoscope. However, if you are using an electronic blood pressure machine, a stereoscope is not required.

Here is the process of checking your blood pressure: Wrap the blood pressure machine cuff around the upper arm. Use your right hand to pump air into the machine until it reaches the optimum level. Then, release the air slowly by undoing the pin close to the rubber tube with your right hand. As the air releases, the blood pressure starts to drop.

The blood pressure measurement when the blood contracts against the artery wall is called systolic. If you are using a manual blood pressure machine, you can hear the systolic beats with a stereoscope. However, an electronic blood pressure machine automatically reads both systolic and diastolic. The second reading you hear is the diastolic pressure, which is when the blood is in a resting phase after contraction.

What are the symptoms of hypertension?
Some symptoms associated with hypertension include severe headaches, chest pain (feeling like someone is stepping on your chest), shortness of breath, and dizziness. It's important to note that experiencing these symptoms does not automatically mean you have high blood pressure. However, when these symptoms are present, it is highly recommended to check your blood pressure.

What are the different categories of blood pressure readings?
The following categories outline blood pressure readings and corresponding modification plans:

1. Normal blood pressure: less than 120 (systolic) and less than 80 (diastolic).

 

2. Pre-hypertension: 130/90. Engage in lifestyle modification programs, such as fast walking for 60 minutes a day.

 

3. High blood pressure: 140/90. For older individuals, these readings may be considered normal given their age. However, it is still beneficial to engage in physical activity like power walking to lower blood pressure and improve overall fitness.

 

4. High blood pressure: 150/90. Similar to pre-hypertension, lifestyle modification programs should be pursued. If these measures do not effectively lower blood pressure, medical support should be sought.

It is important to consider other potential risk factors, such as socioeconomic status, medical conditions, or genetic heart conditions, and address them accordingly.

Blood pressure readings that indicate immediate medical attention are as follows:
- 160/90: High blood pressure
- 170/90: High blood pressure
- 180/90: High blood pressure
- 190/90: High blood pressure, and so on.

Treatment.
If your blood pressure is consistently at 160/90, it is advisable to see a doctor for prescription medication. Once your blood pressure is stabilized, engage in lifestyle programs such as exercise (such as fast walking), maintain a healthy diet, and manage any other factors that can trigger high blood pressure.

Take home points:
When blood pressure is consistently high, the heart has to work harder to distribute oxygen and nutrients throughout the body. This places individuals at a higher risk for heart attack, heart failure, stroke, and kidney failure. Therefore, it is crucial to manage and treat high blood pressure effectively. pressure effectively.
