Type-1 Diabetes And Nutrition

NUTRITION AND DIABETES (TYPE-1)The purpose of this paper is to define diabetes and see the impact several(predicate) factors alike(p) breastfeeding and nutrition have on it state.DIABETESDiabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the frame is ineffective to break down insulin, a chemical that the body produces that is responsible to convert sugar, starches and carbohydrates etc in to energy. This results in freakish sugar production in the body and the patient typically faces the problem of sweet urine which is produced excessively. The minute suit of this disease is still unknown as there are a number of genetical and environmental factors including a low-physical-activity lifestyle and being over weighted.Types of DiabetesThe WHO recognizes three major categories of this disorder according to cause and commonwealth distribution as Type 1, Type 2 and Gestational Diabetes. Almost 18.3% of US population is affected by diabetes. Of the affected, only 8-10% of patients have type 1 which is more common in children and untried adults and the remaining population is reported to be effected by Type 2 diabetes. Gestational diabetes ordinarily occurs in women immediately after pregnancy. Only 5 to 10% of women report this disorder.Type-1 DiabetesType-1 diabetes typically occurs because the body all fails to produce insulin at all hence sugar is non converted in to energy and thereof the excess sugar disorder. Type 1 diabetes can occur due to several other reasons. Sometimes, it follows viral infections like influenza, mumps etc or polio attacks. Other times it follows injury to, or surgical procedures like removal of, pancreas etc. Common symptoms include increased thirst, fatigue, excess urination, weight loss, yeast infection (affecting the genitals) etcThis state, if not taken good care of, can dangerously lead to other complications in later stages. Type-1 diabetes exposes a patient to the risk of getting various heart, kidney, oral and eye related diso rders including the increased risk of scurvy with strokes or heart attacks, damaged kidneys, blindness, gum disease, and some skin problems. Diabetic patients are also defenceless to several neurological complications including acute depression, diabetic neuropathy etc.AFFECT OF BREASTFEEDINGIt is commonly believed that a diabetic mother cant breastfeed her newborn. inquiry proves otherwise. Its clinically proven that breastfeeding is good for both a breastfeeding mother and the health of the newborn. In fact seek has shown that breastfeeding can actually reduce the risk of developing type-1 diabetes in kids 1. Breastfeeding can actually help mothers body regulate insulin directs and even lose weight. Therefore the necessity to breastfeed should be emphasized over mothers for better babies with reduced risks of developing diabetes. Mothers need to take special care of their health and monitor blood glucose level carefully.NUTRITION AND DIABETESThe patients need to regulate the amount of sugar intake and include exercise in their routine to mightily burn fats and carbohydrates. They can take sugar but need to watch its quantity really carefully. A typical diabetic diet consists of 60% calories from carbohydrates, 20% from proteins and 30% from fats. Patients are advised to talk by the diet in detail with the doctor. Including the right mix of food and nutrition, patients can live healthy and long.ReferencesAmerican honorary society for Family of Physicians/ FamilyDoctor.org (2006). Diabetes and Nutrition.
