Summary: As per the
report of WHO, there were 422 million people affected with diabetes in the year
2014. This number is rising rapidly day by day. Diabetes is a progressive
disease. It worsens with age. There are mainly 3 types of diabetes. Each one
has its own development process. The good news is that Reversing Diabetes is
possible.
Prelude
What is diabetes?
What is diabetes?
To answer this, first
we need to understand the role of insulin in our body. When we eat food, our
body turns food into glucose. Glucose enters the cells of the body to give us
energy. But, glucose cannot enter on its own to the cells. It needs insulin,
because it serves as a key to open the door of cells. You may call insulin as
guards with the key of your house/school/office. When insulin opens the door of
the cells, glucose enters the cells and we get energy to perform our various
works and grow. The entire process can be summarized as follows:
The food that we eat enters to the body—The body makes
glucose out of the food—The glucose meets insulin that has the key of the door
of the cells—Insulin unlocks the door of the cells—Glucose enters into the
cells—cells get energized to do various day-to-day related works and to grow.
But, when diabetes occurs, the doors do not open.

Diabetes is a
progressive disease. If we understand it in simple language, the condition of
diabetes worsens with age. The doctor at preliminary stage of the diagnosis of
the disease prescribes 1-2 medicines. But, after some years, the dose of
medicine gets increased as decomposition keeps on happening in the body. The
day comes soon when insulin is recommended. But, that too becomes ineffective
due to Insulin resistance in the body. After that organ damage takes place and
ultimately death with heavy expenditure takes place. Lakhs of rupees get spent
just to make a patient survive for 2-3 days.

Types of Diabetes: There are mainly three types of diabetes:
Type 1 Diabetes:
Type 2 Diabetes:
Gestational Diabetes:
Development of Diabetes:
Development of Diabetes:
Development of Type 1
Diabetes: In Type 1 diabetes, the patient’s immune system attacks the
insulin-producing cells in pancreas, destroying its ability to manufacture
insulin. That means, civil war-like condition occurs. As the ability of
pancreas to produce insulin gets stopped, people with Type 1 diabetes has to
depend on external insulin. This type of diabetes is therefore also known as
insulin-dependent diabetes. It is mostly found in children or young adults.
Development of Type 2
Diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is a disease of insulin resistance. Unlike type 1
diabetes, where production of insulin gets stopped, in this type of diabetes,
pancreas starts off robust production of insulin. But, that insulin proves to
be of little help for the cells as it is not able to unlock the door of cells
and carry glucose to these cells.
Development of
Gestational Diabetes: This type of diabetes occurs during pregnancy. It is
characterized by high blood sugar level. Mostly, this type of diabetes gets
controlled through diet and exercise and resolved after the baby is delivered.
