Diabetes is an increasing health burden in India. India is the diabetes capital of the world. It is widely accepted fact that 35 – 40% of people show presence of diabetes related complications at the time of the diagnosis. Diabetes is a silent killer. It causes many diseases related to the heart, cholesterol, nerves, feet, eyes and circulatory system if uncontrolled for a long time.
Diabetes is the condition in which the body does not properly process food for use as energy. Most of the food we eat is turned into glucose, or sugar, for our bodies to use for energy. The pancreas, an organ that lies near the stomach, makes a hormone called insulin to help glucose get into the cells of our bodies.
Most of the patients do not have symptoms, but if you are at high risk, you need to monitor your blood sugar level.(refer to Diabetes Prevention)
The A1C test measures your average blood glucose for the past 2 to 3 months. The advantages of being diagnosed this way are that you don't have to fast or drink anything.
Hypoglycaemia is a condition characterized by abnormally low blood glucose (blood sugar) levels, usually less than 70 mg/dl.
Hypoglycaemia may also be referred to as an insulin reaction, or insulin shock.
Hyperglycaemia is the technical term for high blood glucose (blood sugar). High blood glucose happens when the body has too little insulin or when the body can't use insulin properly.
