The main cause of the disease is impaired glucose metabolism. In diabetes, glucose cannot penetrate the tissues of the body, so its concentration in the blood increases several times. This condition is called hyperglycemia. According to WHO experts, diabetes mellitus is one of the most common diseases on Earth. About 6% of the population suffers from diabetes and the number is increasing every year.
In 1991, the International Diabetes Federation and the WHO Organization celebrated November 14 as World Diabetes Day in honor of the birthday of Canadian physician and physiologist Frederick Bunting. In 1922, together with Charles Best, he discovered the hormone insulin. This news saves thousands of lives around the world.
Endocrinologist of the National Hospital Asem Serikkanovna Ibraeva: According to the International Diabetes Federation, by 2024 the number of patients with diabetes in the world exceeded 463 million people. In particular, type 2 VHI reached 85%, of which people over 40 predominate. They say that at the end of the twentieth century, 2 types of DZ began to occur even among young people and adolescents.
There are two types of diabetes mellitus. The first is insulin-dependent CD, or insulin-deficient disease secreted by the pancreas. This type of diabetes affects young children and adolescents. The second is called insulin-dependent DM or “adult diabetes.” It is caused by a violation of the secretion of insulin in the pancreas and a decrease in the sensitivity of the body’s cells to insulin. This also leads to hyperglycemia. Type 2 diabetes can be prevented. ‘Diabetes is not a disease, it’s a lifestyle.’ If simple measures are followed, the risk of developing diabetes is significantly reduced. Weight gain should be avoided first. Being overweight and obese makes you seven times more likely to develop diabetes. Need physical activity. A daily 30-minute walk reduces the risk of developing diabetes by 30%.
