There are three types of diabetes and most people are not aware of this. A lot of the symptoms seem to run together however they all have different onset times and development. The 3 diabetes types are type 1 or child diabetes; adult type 2 diabetes and the third one are gestational diabetes.

It is not exactly known the actual reason for adult type 2 diabetes but almost always it is associated with being overweight. With adult type 2 diabetes insulin becomes slowly less effective and as a result of this the sugar in the blood builds up. In doctor terms this is said to be insulin resistance this usually occurs in adults and is known as adult type 2 diabetes.

Adult type 2 diabetes has become a very common disease due to people not eating right and the lack of exercise. 1 in 90 adults are said to suffer from adult type 2 diabetes and is usually found in the older adult population. Insulin usually produced in the body is used to regulate the sugar that is in the blood when this is not done properly this is insulin resistance. This type of diabetes is called a beta cell failure.

These are a few of the symptoms:

There is a quick rise of glucose in the blood

Fat levels in the blood rise, which can cause clogging in the arteries, which can lead to heart trouble

Blood pressure increases

Acute joint pain known as gout

These are a few of the symptoms that can be found in all 3 types of diabetes

Patient complains of extreme thirst and urination, fatigued all the time, sudden weight loss although not to severe. You may find that you have a lot of itching around the genitals due to yeast infection and you may develop skin infection and irritation.

The first thing you can do when you have been diagnosed with diabetes is to control your sugar intake and your diet. Increase the amount of fiber you eat and cut back on the fat you eat. You should always keep medical numbers close so if you have an emergency you can call for advice.

The most important procedure you will have to learn is to monitor your blood sugar and to inject the insulin you will need to keep you glucose levels right. With the technology in needles the insulin shots are relatively painless. Be sure to rotate the sites where you give yourself the shot and be sure to test yourself as often as needed to keep your sugar levels down.
