Scientific Essay

DIABETES

Diabetes often referred to by doctors as diabetes mellitus, describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar), either because insulin production is inadequate, or because the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, or both. Patients with high blood sugar will typically experience polyuria (frequent urination), they will become increasingly thirsty (polydipsia) and hungry (polyphagia).

Diabetes comes from Greek, and it means a "siphon". Aretus the Cappadocian, a Greek physician during the second century A.D., named the condition diabainein. He described patients who were passing too much water (polyuria) - like a siphon. The word became "diabetes" from the English adoption of the Medieval Latin diabetes.

In 1675, Thomas Willis added mellitus to the term, although it is commonly referred to simply as diabetes. Mel in Latin means "honey"; the urine and blood of people with diabetes has excess glucose, and glucose is sweet like honey. Diabetes mellitus could literally mean "siphoning off sweet water".

In ancient China people observed that ants would be attracted to some people's urine, because it was sweet. The term "Sweet Urine Disease" was coined.

There are two types of diabetes:

1. Type 1

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease - the person's body has destroyed his/her own insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.

Patients with type 1 diabetes will need to take insulin injections for the rest of their life. They must also ensure proper blood-glucose levels by carrying out regular blood tests and following a special diet.

Between 2001 and 2009, the prevalence of type 1 diabetes among the under 20s in the USA rose 23%, according to SEARCH for Diabetes in Youth data issued by the CDC (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention).

2. Type 2

1. Does not produce enough insulin.
2. Suffers from 'insulin resistance'. This means that the insulin is not working properly.

Overweight and obese people have a much higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes compared to those with a healthy body weight. People with a lot of visceral fat, also known as central obesity, belly fat, or abdominal obesity, are especially at risk. Being overweight/obese causes the body to release chemicals that can destabilize the body's cardiovascular and metabolic systems.

Being overweight, physically inactive and eating the wrong foods all contribute to our risk of developing type 2 diabetes. Drinking just one can of (non-diet) soda per day can raise our risk of developing type 2 diabetes by 22%, researchers from Imperial College London reported in the journal Diabetologia. The scientists believe that the impact of sugary soft drinks on diabetes risk may be a direct one, rather than simply an influence on body weight.

The Causes of Diabetes

In fact, only 20 percent heredity. The main cause of the disease is often called diabetes, is a lifestyle. Lifestyles, high-calorie foods, obesity, low fiber, and rarely exercise.

Based on data from the World Health Organization (WHO), people with diabetes in Indonesia reached 8.4 million people. In 2020, people with diabetes is expected to increase to 12 million people.

In fact, diabetics generally also experience complications such as neuropathy (nerve disorders), retinopathy (visual disturbances), also increase the risk of stroke and heart, and kidney disorders.
Dialysis patients whose kidneys are not functioning mostly due to complications of DM.

"Only 20 percent due to genetic or hereditary factors. Factors tersebesar unhealthy lifestyle, "said Ekowati, at the media briefing on 'Partnership for Diabates Control in Indonesia'.

Example of Diabetics

Diabetes will not stop you from becoming a top sportsman or sportswoman, politician, actor/actress, musician, journalist, etc.
Here is a sample list of people who have achieved great things. They all have something in common - they all have (had) diabetes. Some managed to win Olympic Gold Medals.

Sir Steven Redgrave won 5 Olympic Gold medals for rowing and has suffered from Diabetes Type 1 since 1997. Despite being diagnosed with diabetes he continued training hard and won his fifth Olympic Gold in Sydney in 2000. He won the five medals in five consecutive Olympic games:

Controlling Diabetes

Researchers from the Mayo Clinic Arizona in Scottsdale showed that gastric bypass surgery can reverse type 2 diabetes in a high proportion of patients. They added that within three to five years the disease recurs in approximately 21% of them. Yessica Ramos, MD., said "The recurrence rate was mainly influenced by a longstanding history of Type 2 diabetes before the surgery. This suggests that early surgical intervention in the obese, diabetic population will improve the durability of remission of Type 2 diabetes."

Diabetes type 1 lasts a lifetime, there is no known cure. Type 2 usually lasts a lifetime, however, some people have managed, through a lot of exercise, diet and excellent body weight control to get rid of their symptoms without medication.

1. A long time ago

Before insulin was discovered in 1921 Diabetes Type 1 was a fatal disease - most patients would die within a few years of onset. Things have changed a great deal since then.

2.You can lead a normal life

If you have Type 1 and follow a healthy eating plan, do adequate exercise, and take insulin, you can lead a normal life.

3.Balance insulin intake with food and lifestyle

The quantity of insulin intake must be closely linked to how much food you consume, as well as when you eat. Your daily activities will also have a bearing on when and how much insulin you take.

4.Checking your blood glucose levels

A person with diabetes has to have his/her blood glucose levels checked periodically. There is a blood test called the A1C which tells you what your average blood glucose levels were over a two-to-three month period.
Type 2 patients need to eat healthily, be physically active, and test their blood glucose. They may also need to take oral medication, and/or insulin to control blood glucose levels.

5.Prevent developing cardiovascular disease

As the risk of cardiovascular disease is much higher for a diabetic, it is crucial that blood pressure and cholesterol levels are monitored regularly.
Healthy eating, doing exercise, keeping your weight down will all contribute towards good cardiovascular health - some patients will need oral medication for this.

6.Stop smoking!

As smoking might have a serious effect on the cardiovascular health the patient should stop smoking.

7.A health care provider

A health care professional (HCP) will help the patient learn how to manage his/her diabetes. The HCP will also monitor the diabetes control. It is important that you know what to do and that a professional is helping and monitoring the management of your diabetes.

Conclusion
Diabetes is a disease increase sharply in many countries, exactly in Indonesia.
The increase was caused by bad lifestyle lived so chronic disease prevalence is also very progressive.
However, we can try to prevent it. If your eating is well planned, if you do plenty of exercise, and adhere to any medication plan your doctor gives you, there is no reason at all why you cannot carry on trying to pursue your lifetime ambitions.a
