Metabolic Syndrome Diabetes is a cluster of conditions that occur together due to the body’s defective metabolism, which results in heart disease. Metabolism is all chemical processes that occur in the body, including nutrient and mineralabsorption, moleculeconversion, and energy. Each part of the metabolic process requires enzymes to facilitate a change. When the enzyme is damaged, the metabolic process errs. Metabolism is culpable for all chemical conversions so malfunctions can occur anywhere in the body.
Diabetes Metabolic Syndrome is related to glucose resistance. The digestive system breaks down food into glucose when food is consumed. The pancreas secretes insulin and it moves this sugar into muscles, cells, and tissues in the body for energy. When a person is insulin resistant, they cannot produce or absorb insulin, so they cannot use the digested sugar.It remains in the blood causing high blood glucose levels. When this happens repeatedly, individuals have numerous ailments.
Hispanic-Americans and Asian-Americansare most susceptible to Diabetes Syndrome, as are senior citizens. Individuals who have high blood pressure, heart disease, or polycystic ovarian syndrome are at risk for syndrome Diabetes as well as people with a family history of Diabetes, are overweight or obese, or have belly fat.For treatment, individuals should try to lose weight, exercise daily for thirty minutes, eliminate sugar and fat, and add fruits and vegetables to their diet.
Diabetes Nephrotic Syndrome
Diabetes Nephrotic Syndrome is a condition that destroys the small blood vessels in the kidneys that filter water and waste. Nephrotic Syndrome can plague people with a variety of conditions, such as Lupus, HIV, Cancer, and Hepatitis B, although it is most common in people with Diabetes. The condition, also known as Kimmelstiel-Wilson Syndrome, named after the scientists who discovered the condition, can present in Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetics. Onset is normally within five years for Type Diabetics and fifteen years for Type 2 Diabetics. Once the disease occurs, progression is rapid, causing kidney failure and premature death among patients. Men are more prone to this syndrome than women are.
The first sign of Diabetes Nephrotic Syndrome is when the glomerulus thickens and this stage produces no symptoms. Eventually, protein will pass into the urine in small amounts and will continue to increase until the glomeruli have been destroyed due to nodules and scarring. At this late stage, a person will notice symptoms of swelling, fatigue, itching, and hiccups. Treatment includes taking ACE inhibitors and trying to slow the kidney disease.
Dumping Syndrome Diabetes
Dumping Syndrome Diabetes is the process of food passing into the small intestine without the stomach and large intestine being able to break down the food into usable nutrients with the help of acids and enzymes. Because of this action, the undigested food will mix with water in the small intestine. There are two types of Dumping: Early and Late.
Early Dumping is not a serious condition, but it is symptom provoking and can cause discomfort. Individuals experience vomiting, diarrhea, cramping, sweating, and weakness. Late Dumping, on the other hand, occurs several hours after eating versus several minutes and the action causes a high level of insulin in the small intestine. Blood glucose levels will drop and the person can feel faint, anxious, sweaty, and hungry.
This syndrome can be prevented by eating high protein snacks throughout the day and avoiding high sugar, high fat, and high starch foods. If this condition is experienced, laying down after eating, and using the same methods to elevate blood sugar when it is low (hard candy or juice) is advised.
