Joya for diabetes - causes, symptoms and remedies
What is diabetes?
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease, characterized by a permanently elevated blood glucose level. Two forms are distinguished: Type 1 diabetes and Type 2 diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes usually begins before the age of 20. The cause is an autoimmune disease, in which the immune system attacks its own body. In the process, the insulin-producing cells of the pancreas are destroyed.
The much more common form, type 2 diabetes, usually occurs after the age of 30 and is therefore often referred to as adult-onset diabetes. Causes here include mostly hereditary factors, obesity or lack of exercise, insulin resistance or impaired secretion of insulin.
The most common symptoms:
- Itching
- Constant feeling of hunger
- Weight changes
- Depressive mood
- Recurrent urinary tract infections
- Poorly healing wounds
Diabetes secondary diseases
Late effects of diabetes can affect almost every part of the body. Even slightly elevated blood glucose levels can lead to dangerous changes in the body's small and large blood vessels and cause nerve damage. However, with good control of blood sugar, lipid metabolism, blood pressure and avoidance of nicotine, secondary diseases can be avoided or even delayed.
The most frequent secondary diseases include:
- Decrease of eyesight
- Cerebral stroke or heart attack
- Kidney disease
- Impotence
- Circulatory disorders of the nerves
- Diabetic foot
Tips in everyday life

- Drink healthy, low-calorie beverages. Instead of sodas or alcohol, try sparkling/still water or unsweetened tea.
