Diabetes - Symptoms and Warning signs in Men and Women

Whenever we think of the causes of diabetes, we usually think of heriditory factors (family history), overeating or lack of exercise leading to obesity as the most common causes. While this is true, we often tend to forget an important cause of diabetes – stress. Stress is defined as “a physical, chemical or emotional factor that causes physical or mental tension and may be a factor in disease causation”. Several diseases can be caused or worsened by stress and diabetes is also one of the important ones. How does stress affect the blood sugar levels? The blood sugar levels are controlled mainly by two groups of hormones. The first group of hormones reduces blood sugar but insulin is the only member of this group. The second group called counter-regulatory hormones, opposes the action of insulin and increases the blood sugars. There are several of these hormones and the list includes cortisol, adrenaline, noradrenaline, glucagon and growth hormone. Stress tends to incr

If you are suffering from diabetes, you need to take special care of your kidneys . While diabetes affects all the crucial organs of the body, kidney failure in diabetics is way too common.

In worse cases, diabetes can also lead to end-stage kidney disease or renal failure where dialysis or a transplant becomes the only option to look for. One way to save your kidneys from damage is to maintain proper blood sugar levels and keep a tab on diet to alleviate any stress on the organ. Apart from this, here are few tests suggested by Dr V. Mohan of Dr Mohan’s Diabetes Specialties Centre  to ensure that your kidneys are doing fine: Fasting and postprandial plasma glucose level

Visual disability significantly affects the quality of life and increases the risk of injury. The most distressing effects of diabetes in the eye with regard to visual impairment are in the retina (inner layer of the eye) called as diabetic retinopathy. Preventive approaches to diabetic retinopathy can be categorized into three levels, the first is Primary Prevention of retinopathy.   This is an early approach where early detection and appropriate treatment are the cornerstones for delaying the onset of the diabetic retinopathy symptoms by good control of blood sugar, blood pressure and lipids.

It is a fat soluble vitamin and its main function is to maintain normal blood levels of calcium and phosphorus. Vit D is considered to be both a hormone as well as a vitamin.
