Home Health and care Practical information Work with us About Capio Stories Diabetes Diabetes is several diseases with different causes and treatments. What they have in common is that the blood sugar level is too high and an imbalance in the body's ability to produce and / or use insulin. HERE YOU GET CARE The body regulates the amount of sugar in the blood by producing insulin. When insulin production does not work, the sugar content rises and the first symptoms are large amounts of urine, increased thirst and fatigue. If the insulin deficiency becomes acute, people with diabetes risk type 1 ketoacidosis, which is a serious condition that can lead to insulin coma. Untreated diabetes can cause damage to the kidneys and if untreated or poorly regulated diabetes for a long time, it can lead to the sufferer needing dialysis and possibly a transplant. Other common problems include poor circulation in the feet, heart attack, joint problems, nerve damage and dental problems. Type 1 diabetes is due to the fact that the body has completely or almost completely stopped producing insulin. The symptoms appear already in childhood and the disease is sometimes hereditary. Type 2 has even clearer heredity and is common in people older than 75. 15% of the population has a predisposition for type 2 diabetes, but as long as the insulin deficiency does not become too great in relation to sugar intake, the disease can be prevented from breaking out. Type 1 diabetes must always be treated with insulin. In addition to types 1 and 2 diabetes, there is also gestational diabetes, which affects both the mother and the fetus. Gestational diabetes is often asymptomatic and is detected through urine tests. If the sugar levels are not kept under control, the fetus begins to grow more than normal and becomes very large, which means risks of birth defects. After pregnancy, the disease generally disappears on its own.
