Diabetes mellitus type 2 or can be known with diabetes mellitus secondary cases occurs because of interference with the seksresi basal insulin sensitivity and also a decline in tissue, especially liver tissue to insulin. Symptoms often occur usually are frequent urination and thirst as a result of polyuria. then also occur hyperglycemia that can be ascertained by the laboratory examination. And can also be complications of cardiovascular disease.

Diabetes mellitus secondary can be distinguished in 3 categories:

Usually occur because of several factors, among others, genetic syndromes, medication factors, liver disease and others

Then the pattern of therapy that can be applied to overcome this type 2 diabetes mellitus there are several steps:

If your a diabetic persons you need to know what it is calories. In brief, a calorie is a unit used to measure the power (energy) in food. Calories as units were first introduced by a Frenchman, Professor Nicolas Clément (1779-1842) in Le Journal Producteur in 1824.

Kebutuhaan will calories per day for each person will be different from each other. An adult male will need between 2000-2500 calories / day, while adult women need 1600-2000 calories / day.

If the intake of calories / day someone is excessive, then the unused calories will be converted into fat. So the excess calories will cause a person to become overweight. If your body weight increased by 1 kg it will be equal to 8000 means there is excess caloric intake is converted into fat (8000 calories = 1 kg human body weight).

Kabohidrat and Calories

All food must contain carbohydrate calories. So the conclusion can be drawn if you consume calorie foods can be ascertained kabohidrat intake into the body will increase.

Carbohydrates in the body will be changed into sugar for energy (power), if the amount of insulin produced by the pancreas is not sufficient to control glucose levels in the body, the excess sugar will cause high blood sugar which is called diabetes.

Today many are found in food-frills low-calorie low-carb is the real meaning. As an example of artificial sweeteners such as low-calorie, low-calorie foods and beverages low in calories.

Why not be frill low-carbohydrate, is not that the same means?

Well ... that was her name promotional merchandise. The terms of calories in daily life more problems associated with obesity and body kelansingan. So actually the producer wants to show the consumer (consumer interest) that the product will not cause obesity.

For you people with diabetes, meaning low-calorie foods consume more restricted meaning by consuming foods low in carbohydrates. By consuming low-carbohydrate diet (low calorie) will allow to avoid a risk of high blood sugar.

Recent data from the International Diabetes Federation, Diabetes Atlas show that 285 million people suffer from diabetes was more upon the young. More than half of these are young people aged between 20-60 years.

The data also shows Indonesia entered into a list of 10 countries suffer most dibetes, with India ranked first, both China and the United States third.

Unity Diabetes Indonesia (Persadia) projected the number of diabetics in Indonesia will swell of about 24 million people in 2025. This figure jumped almost double the number of diabetics currently about 12 million people.

Chairman of the Diabetes Association of Indonesia (Persadia), DR. Dr Achmat Rudianto-KEMD SpPD diabetes problems in Indonesia will have a major impact on the economy if left unchecked.

"Because the cost of diabetes treatment, especially if you've complications occur," he said.

According to data from the Ministry of Health in 2008 found 5.7 percent of the total Indonesian population or 12 million people suffer from diabetes. People who enter into pre-diabetic group even reached 11 percent.

Diabetes mellitus type 2 occurs by a combination of defects in production of insulin and insulin resistance or reduced sensitivity to insulin. As a result of insulin the body needs can not be absorbed and even wasted

Hereditary factor has influence whether a person can get diabetes or not. Besides heredity, lifestyle also plays a major role. Type 2 diabetes often occurs in people suffering from obesity. Obesity or overweight is the trigger of the most important cause of diabetes.

Obesity means excess weight loss of at least 20% of ideal body weight. Also mean body mass index over 25 kg/m2. Excess fat causes insulin resistance. This explains why diet and exercise is a method of treatment for type 2 diabetes.

With lower weight and increase muscle mass, will reduce the amount of fat that helps the body use insulin better. Apparently there is a relationship between type 2 diabetes with the highest fat pile of lies. If ever there is deposition of fat in the abdomen then a higher risk of developing diabetes.

The researchers also believe that genes for traits such as obesity played a part in causing diabetes. Gene called obese gene regulates weight through protein giver word on whether we are hungry or not. In experiments with rats, when these genes mutate, the rat will become obese and have type 2 diabetes.

Research shows that obesity associated with time spent in front of the TV and computer. Watching TV will cause no move was also influenced by diet mengemil. How to overcome obesity to prevent diabetes?

It is easy, cheap and effective, among others:

Diabetes mellitus is a disease where the concentration of glucose (simple sugar) in the blood is high because the body can not release or use insulin adequately.

Insulin is a hormone released by the pancreas, which is responsible for maintaining normal levels of blood sugar. Insulin put sugar into cells so it can produce energy or stored as energy reserves.

Well, how much blood sugar levels, called high? According to the diagnostic criteria Perkeni (Society for Endocrinology Indonesia) in 2006, is said to have diabetes if a person has a fasting blood glucose> 126 mg / dL and the tests when> 200 mg / dL.

Blood sugar levels vary throughout the day which will increase after the meal and returned to normal within two hours.

Normal blood sugar levels on the morning after the night before fasting is 70-110 mg / dL of blood. Blood sugar levels are usually less than 120-140 mg / dL at 2 hours after eating or drinking liquids that contain sugar or other carbohydrates.

Normal blood sugar levels tend to increase in mild but progressive (gradually) after age 50 years, especially in people who are not active move.

Elevated levels of blood sugar after eating or drinking stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin, thus avoiding any increase in blood sugar levels and cause more blood sugar levels have declined steadily.

There is another way to lower blood sugar levels is by doing physical activities like exercising because the muscles use the glucose in the blood to be used as energy.

Many people still assume the diabetes is a disease of a parent or a disease that only arise because of heredity. In fact, every person can have diabetes, both young and old, including you. But, all you have to understand is you are not alone.

According to the data to WHO, Indonesia ranks 4th largest in the number of patients with Diabetes Mellitus in the world. In the year 2000 alone, there are about 5.6 million Indonesian people with diabetes.

However, in 2006 the estimated number of diabetics in Indonesia rose sharply to 14 million people, in which 50 percent are aware of new diabetes, and among them only about 30 percent for treatment regularly.

It is unfortunate that many diabetics who do not realize they suffer from a disease that more commonly referred to diabetes or diabetes. This may be due to the lack of information about diabetes in the community especially the symptoms.

Most cases of diabetes type 2 diabetes is caused by heredity. But heredity alone is not enough to cause a person affected by diabetes because the risk is only 5%. It turned out that type 2 diabetes is more common in people suffering from obesity due to obesity alias fro lifestyle.
