A short clinical study of diabetes mellitus_causes, types and introduction_clinical vlog

A very warm welcome to Clinical Vlog: Diabetes mellitus is a chronic ailment characterized by high levels of glucose (sugar) in the blood. It occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus: 1. Type 1 diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition where the body’s immune system mistakenly attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with type 1 diabetes require lifelong insulin injections. 2. Type 2 diabetes: This is the most common type of diabetes, usually occurring in adulthood. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin or when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Type 2 diabetes can often be managed with lifestyle changes such as healthy eating, regular physical activity, and medication if needed. 3. Gestational diabetes: This type of diabetes occurs during pregnancy and typically resolves after the baby is born. It happens when hormonal changes during pregnancy affect the body’s ability to use insulin effectively. Gestational diabetes requires careful monitoring and management to ensure the health of both the mother and baby. In some cases, it may increase the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life. Causes of diabetes mellitus 1. Obesity: Being overweight or obese is a major risk factor for developing type 2 diabetes. The excess fat in the body can affect the body’s insulin resistance and lead to elevated blood sugar levels. 2. Sedentary Lifestyle: Lack of physical activity or leading a sedentary lifestyle increases the risk of developing diabetes. Regular exercise helps in maintaining a healthy weight and improves insulin sensitivity. 3. Unhealthy Diet: Consuming a diet high in processed, sugary, and fatty foods can contribute to the development of diabetes. Such foods can lead to weight gain and increase the risk of insulin resistance. 4. Family History: Having a family history of diabetes increases the risk of developing the condition. Genetic factors play a role in the development of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes. 5. Poor Sleep Habits: Studies have shown a link between insufficient sleep and an increased risk of developing diabetes. Sleep deprivation can affect insulin sensitivity and lead to higher blood sugar levels.
