Adult Type 2 Diabetes - What Do You Know About?
By Chelsea Aubin
Many people don't know about the different types of diabetes. There are three different types and they are Type 1 (child diabetes) Type 2 (adult diabetes) and Gestational diabetes. All three types are and will have all the symptoms of diabetes, yet each one has a different time at which it will show up in development.

Type 2 is most likely always associated with being overweight. We don't know what exactly triggers this type of diabetes, but it occurs when the insulin becomes lesser and lesser effective and as a result sugar starts to get built up in the blood. The medical term for this is insulin resistance. This type of is most commonly found in adults, and today is a very common medical condition. 1 in 90 people are assumed to have Type 2 diabetes, and though it was more commonly found in adults, it is more and more being found in younger generations.

An insulin resistance is when the insulin that your body produces fails to regulate the sugar levels in your blood. You will find this called

“beta cell failure”. Think you may have this? The symptoms are steady increase of blood pressure, joint pain due to gout, steady rise of fat levels in the blood that could lead to more severe heart problems.

Most of the symptoms of this disease are common to all the three types of diabetes, i.e. the patient will feel extremely thirsty and urinate often, will feel fatigued all the time, will experience sudden weight loss (though the loss in weight will not be too pronounced), get skin infections and irritation very frequently.

What should you do if you think you may have this disease? First of all, visit a doctor. Then you should take a serious look at your diet. You will have to make sure that you aren't consuming too much, or too little sugar. You will also need to add fiber to your diet, and eliminate fat. If you prove to have Type 2 you will have to regulate your blood sugar levels and also inject yourself with insulin if needed. Another piece of advice is to get your doctors number incases of an emergency.
