Many people with type 2 diabetes have to take insulin to control blood glucose levels. There are various types and brands of insulin to meet different needs. Synthetic human insulins produced by recombinant technology are most commonly used today. Human insulins generally have a more rapid onset and shorter duration of activity than pork-derived insulins. For further details on 24 hour insulin, read What Causes Diabetes?
Other than that, the disease is greatly individualized. How a person cares for themselves prior to the onset, as well as management of the disease determines what quality of life he or she will experience.
Diabetes has warning signs that are often overlooked. They include the following: Frequent urination (in large quantities) Excessive thirst
Extreme hunger
Insulin is categorized by its onset, peak and duration. There are four categories of insulin: rapid acting, regular or short-acting, intermediate and long acting. The onset refers to how soon the insulin reaches the bloodstream. Peak is the point at which the insulin is most effective in reducing blood sugar levels and duration explains how long it will continue to work. There are more than 20 different kinds of insulin. They are either manufactured in a lab or derived from animals.
Fatigue (weak and tired)
Irritability and mood changes
Unfortunately, once damage occurs to the pancreas or cells that produce insulin the implications are serious. Type I diabetes is irreversible. Once it is diagnosed, alternative methods to convert glucose into usable energy must be incorporated. Due to the nature of Type I, insulin is the only alternative.
There are four ways to categorize insulin: rapid acting, regular or short-acting, intermediate and long acting. Characteristics of insulin include onset, peak time and duration. Onset refers to the time before insulin reaches the bloodstream. Peak time is when the insulin is at its most effective state in lowering blood glucose levels. Duration is how long the insulin continues to work. Depending on the individual and lifestyle, a doctor can determine which type is most beneficial for the diabetic. The various types are either created in a lab or derived from animals.
Education helps an individual learn the warning signs, before permanent damage to the pancreas takes place. Unfortunately, many people have the tendency to overlook symptoms. They contribute them to some other minor problem. For example, fatigue is brushed off as a result of working too late. It should be known, however, that life with Type I diabetes is manageable. Advances in medicine paired with information about living healthy gives diabetics a huge advantage over this disease.
Diabetes requires constant management and monitoring, as any life-threatening disease demands. Conditions associated with Type I diabetes include hyperglycemia, hypoglycemia, ketoacidosis. Complications including heart disease, kidney disease, eye complications. Diabetic neuropathy and nerve damage, foot complications, skin complications, gastroparesis and depression can cause symptoms and complications that make life more difficult for the diabetic. Most of diabetes complications are directly related to how well an individual cares for themselves and his or her blood sugar levels. Life with diabetes can be normal as long as a healthy lifestyle is adopted and practiced.
