Type 1 diabetes can be resolved with a change in the dietary conditions.
However, the patient suffering from type 1 diabetes must have the will power and the determination not to resort to the earlier unhygienic eating habits.
WHO CONTRACTS TYPE-1 DIABETES?
The people likely to be affected by Type 1 diabetes are kids, young people and pregnant women.
HOW DOES TYPE 1 DIABETES OCCUR?
Type 1 diabetes is the fallout of non-functioning or mal-functioning of certain important cell called the beta cells. The beta cells get damaged due to the strong activities of other cells in the human body.
Medical researches have shown that the bodies of people suffering from Type 1 diabetes suffer from high glucose (‘sugar’ in common parlance) content in their blood stream.
This excess content of glucose or sugar gets reflected in the urine.
WHAT HAPPENS WHEN TYPE 1 DIABETES SETS IN?
After patient contracts type-1 diabetes, the person’s body fails to carry out the necessary activities (metabolism).
This happens as the body cannot function without the necessary ingredient – glucose – that induces heat.
Glucose is produced from the food that we eat. Insulin is the agent that helps to extract glucose (sugar) from the consumed food.
Insulin also brings out glucose from starches and other food.
Insulin is a hormone. Insulin is produced by the pancreas located in the abdominal area.
When the pancreas does not function, the insulin production is halted. As a result, the body fails to act on the starch, sugar, and other food that are the sources of sugar or glucose.
However, the person concerned keeps on having the same old meal. The body keeps on getting constant supply glucose. The excess glucose gets deposited in various parts of the body.
This is the typical situation when type 1 diabetes takes root.
In the initial stages, such a type 1 diabetes situation can be easily tackled.
