Diabetes Mellitus

Onset diabetes, in medically is called Diabetes Mellitus is a disease where the body's physiological not have the ability to change glucose (blood sugar) into the glycogen (sugar in the cell/flesh) to stored.Enzyme involved in these changes is Insulin.

If someone ate karbo hydrate (polysacharida) or components of a huge sugar molecule. Karbo hydrate in the body by Carbohidrase enzyme activity will be split into Oligosaccharida, and broken again into disaccharida. There are three kinds of disacharida maltose or malt sugar consists of (glucosa + glucosa), or sugar cane saccharosa consist of (glucosa + fructosa) and milk sugar, or more commonly known as consisting of lactosa (glucosa + galactosa).

Measured as an indicator that a person has diabetes or diabetes is blood sugar (glucose), usually measured at the time of fasting and two hours after eating. What is the normal limits can be seen in the laboratory where we conduct examinations. Nowadays it is not difficult and expensive to USD 12.000.-we are able in laboratory tests, even if we buy their own tools only check the blood sugar of about Rp 600,000 .- still cheaper compared to medium scale HandPhone.

There are 4 (four) types of diabetes are:

* Diabetes Type 1: The patient was not able to produce insulin or when there are very few in number. Type 1 diabetes can occur in children or youth. Type 1 diabetes will depend on the injection of enzyme during his life.

* Diabetes Type 2: Patients can produce insulin in the body (in the pancreas gland) but there were not enough, or the way it works is not effective. Type 2 diabetes patients who used to attack more often 40 years old and above.

* Type gestational diabetes: People with diabetes during pregnancy. Mother pregnant mothers will experience a pressure high blood sugar, but after she gave birth, the blood sugar disease cured by itself.

Diabetes Type * Other: There is an infection or the "factory" in Insuline in pancreas. Ifa gland infections or tumors of the pancreas gland to destroy the insulin production can be discharged at all.
