Diabetes Mellitus Overview and facts Information

Diabetes is a metabolic disease which is chronic in nature. Elevated Blood glucose levels are alarmingly high in people with diabetes are chronic metabolic conditions that over time cause substantial harm to the heart, blood vessels, eyes, kidneys, and nerves. Either the pancreas does not create enough insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin that is produced properly. A hormone called insulin controls blood sugar levels. Uncontrolled diabetes frequently causes hyperglycemia, also known as high blood glucose or raised blood sugar, which over time can seriously harm many different bodily systems, including the neurons and blood vessels.

Type1 Diabetes

Deficient insulin production is a hallmark of type 1 diabetes, sometimes referred to as insulin-dependent, juvenile, or childhood-onset, which necessitates daily insulin therapy. Type 1 diabetes affected 9 million people in 2017, the majority of whom reside in high-income nations. Its etiology and methods of prevention are unknown. The need to urinate frequently, thirst, continuous hunger, weight loss, visual problems, and weariness are all signs of type 1 diabetes. These signs could appear out of nowhere. Diabetes type 1 is a chronic illness in which the pancreas generates little or no insulin on its own. It was previously referred to as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes.

Type 2 Diabetes

The way your body uses sugar (glucose) for energy is impacted by type 2 diabetes. If left untreated, it prevents the body from using insulin effectively, which can result in excessive blood sugar levels. Although they are frequently less severe, type 2 diabetes symptoms are typically comparable to type 1 diabetic symptom. As a result, the condition may not be discovered until after it has developed problems. It is crucial to be aware of risk factors because of this. The most prevalent type of diabetes is type 2, which often affects adults, and develops when the body stops producing enough insulin or becomes resistant to it. Type 2 diabetes prevalence has sharply increased during the past three decades in nations of all income levels. Lifestyle changes are the best way to prevent or delay the onset of type 2 diabetes.

FACTS

The bulk of the approximately 422 million individuals with diabetes globally reside in low- and middle-income nations, and diabetes is directly responsible for 1.5 million fatalities annually. Throughout the past few decades, there has been a consistent rise in both the incidence and prevalence of diabetes. 8.5% of persons who were 18 years of age and older had diabetes in 2014.

A total of 1.5 million deaths were directly related to diabetes in 2019, and 48% of these deaths occurred in those under the age of 70. Diabetes contributed to an additional 460000 renal disease fatalities, and elevated blood glucose is responsible for almost 20% of cardiovascular mortality.

Age-standardized diabetes mortality rates increased by 3% between 2000 and 2019. Diabetes-related death rates rose 13% in lower-middle income nations. In contrast, between 2000 and 2019, there was a 22% global decline in the likelihood of dying from any of the four major non-communicable diseases (cancer, chronic respiratory diseases, diabetes, or cardiovascular diseases) between the ages of 30 and 70.
