      What Is Diabetes

      Diabetes mellitus (or just diabetes) is a metabolic disorder associated with elevated blood glucose. Normally, we take in glucose from the stomach when we eat foods containing carbohydrates. The glucose elevation triggers the islet cells in the pancreas to put out a hormone known as insulin. Insulin binds to cells in the body allowing the cells to take up the glucose to use as fuel for cells.

      Without insulin production or with insulin resistance, glucose cannot get into the cells, which do not get enough nutrients and the sugar (glucose) in the bloodstream elevates, damaging organs and blood vessels. This is when diabetes occurs.

      Two Types of Diabetes

      The first is type 1 diabetes, which is considered an autoimmune disease where the body makes antibodies that destroy the islet cells of the pancreas, leading to very low insulin levels and extremely high blood sugar (glucose) levels. Once the death of the islet cells occurs, the process is irreversible. The patient’s only recourse is to take shots of short, medium, and/or long acting insulin to make up for the insulin the body doesn’t make. Type 1 diabetes is often referred to as insulin dependent.

      The second is called type 2 diabetes. In this type of diabetes, the individual makes enough insulin; however, the cells become resistant to it and even with elevated insulin levels, not enough glucose enters the cells. The blood sugar rises and causes the same complications as type 1 diabetes. Fortunately, this type of diabetes can be treated with medication, healthy lifestyle choices, and other natural therapies. Type 2 diabetes, unlike type 1 can be reversed, with weight loss and healthy diet.

      Diagnosis Of Type 2 Diabetes

      Diagnosis of prediabetes or type 2 diabetes is made by a doctor, and is based on a blood test known as the Hemoglobin A1C. According to the United States Department of Health and Human Services, lab analysis of blood is required to ensure accurate results.

      While glucose-measuring devices (finger stick tests pictured on the left) either used at home or at the doctor’s office can be used to track and manage blood glucose on a regular basis, they are not accurate enough for diagnosis.

      The A1C became the standard test for the diagnosis of type 2 diabetes and prediabetes in 2009 and is reported as a percentage:

      Normal reading is below 5.7%

      5.7% to 6.4% indicates prediabetes, and those with a reading above 6.0% are considered at a very high risk of developing type 2 diabetes

      Any reading over 6.5% means a person has diabetes

      Risk Factors For Type 2 Diabetes

      Anyone can get type 2 diabetes, but certain high risk factors exist:

      People age 45 and older

      Those who are obese or overweight with a BMI or 35 or more

      Those who have had gestational diabetes

      When type 2 diabetes runs in the family

      Those who have been diagnosed with pre-diabetes

      Poor lifestyle choices, like unhealthy diet and lack of exercise

      Those who have low HDL (good) cholesterol or high triglycerides

      Those who have high blood pressure

      African Americans, Latinos, Native Americans and Asian Americans/Pacific Islanders are at higher risk for contracting this disease
