There is a diabetes of two types with diametrically different sources. The debut of the diabetes of the first type is a sharp weight loss. Man "melts" in front of the eyes, weakness and severe thirst appear. After stress, infections and for a number of other reasons, the pancreas sharply ceases to produce insulin. Therefore, insulin therapy is necessary.
The second type of diabetes appears, on the contrary, due to the huge amount of insulin in the blood, to which insensity develops, it does not perform its function (does not open the glucose to the cells, but turns it into fat). Complications are developing: first of all, the eyes, kidneys, peripheral nervous system suffer. Since the vessels are affected, the risk of developing trophic ulcers and gangren, which leads to severe disablement.
Sugar diabetes of second type "eaten" for years and occurs more often. No need to discount and hereditary predisposition. There is also diabetes of pregnant women. The risk of a diabetes of the second type is that its symptoms are often uncomfortable.

- The cunning of the disease is that diabetes can begin at any age, even in children (especially the first type). The first symptom of the second type diabetes can be safely considered overweight. If you always want to eat, you notice that the portions needed for saturation are increasing, is a sure sign that there is too much insulin in the body, since this hormone stimulates appetite. The feeling of painful thirst is also an important sign. But there are other diabetes markers: slow healing of cuts, asthenic, general reduction in body resistance, constant fatigue, reduced libido. It is recommended to go to fractional food. Exclude products containing sugar, including sweet fruits, bakery products. After 19:00, only fermented dairy products. It is important to move more. Even a simple walk reduces blood sugar levels. By correctly organizing power and load mode, it is possible to reduce and even completely normalize the insulin level. But if these methods do not help, drugs are prescribed. Today there are also non-drug treatments, such as MDM therapy. It doesn't matter how the main thing is to achieve a normal insulin level in the blood.
