Type 2 diabetes is the second most frequent disease in the world, after cardiovascular diseases. It has become a public health problem and due to its relevance we have created the selection of diabetes books in PDF format.
It is usually silent, so many people do not know they have it if they do not undergo a general checkup regularly. If we have bad eating habits and a sedentary lifestyle it may be necessary to rule it out. We offer you important information about it in our diabetes books in PDF format.
Diabetes is a chronic disease, which can develop at any stage of life. It is caused by a malfunction of the pancreas, which stops synthesizing the doses of insulin needed by the body.
Insulin, on the other hand, is responsible for maintaining the correct levels of glucose in the blood. It also facilitates the entry of glucose into the blood and its transport to the muscles and tissues for use as energy. When none of these functions is performed correctly, other functions and also some organs are affected, generating adjacent problems.
There are two types of diabetes, which we will describe below:
Type 1 diabetes: this is an autoimmune disease that usually appears in childhood, although there are also cases that have developed it in other stages of life. It occurs suddenly, causing the destruction of the cells that produce insulin.
Type 2 diabetes: develops in adulthood and is much more common than type 1. Older people are much more likely to develop it. In this case, insulin does not react or perform the function it should, resulting in a marked deterioration of the pancreas and other organs.
The exact causes of diabetes are not known, but in the case of type 2 it could be prevented by 80% with a healthy lifestyle sustained over time.
