Diabetes type 1

As mentioned in the previous post this is the type of diabetes that I have. This time I will talk about what it is.

Type 1 diabetes, known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent, type 1 diabetes usually diagnosed in children and young adults. From 5 to 10% of patients with diabetes have this type.

In type 1 diabetes, the immune system destroys existing beta cells in the pancreas, which produce insulin. But even so for sure it is not known the cause, scientists believe that both the family history of the person and the environment (virus, especially Coxsackie B) play an important role in triggering this "process autoimmune".

* Insulin is the hormone made by the beta cells, which is needed to convert sugar, starches and other food into energy needed for daily life and to remove glucose from the bloodstream and controlthe excess of sugar blood.*

We patients with type 1 diabetes need daily insulin dose to control diabetes and to survive.

Symptoms.

Often diabetes is undiagnosed because many of its symptoms seem harmless, but there is a variety that can occur suddenly.

Excessive thirst
Constant need to urinate
Unexplained weight loss
Increased appetite
Extreme fatigue and irritability
Unconsciousness
Nausea and vomiting
Fruity breath odor
Blurry vision

Treatment.

In the case of type 1 diabetes, as I already mentioned, the daily injection of insulin is needed, have a glucose control (have a notebook to write down the numbers and check how levels every day behave), have a healthy and balanced diet and exercise.

But of course all this by the hand of the doctor who will you see, what dose of insulin are needed by the body of the patient.

The most important thing is to achieve good glucose control and have a healthy life, take control of your life and achieve optimal health.

Political fanaticism.

Political fanaticism. In recent years, a very latent phenomenon that has been growing dangerously and vertiginously, in a context of high polarization; this distorter is presented as an enemy of electoral conscience and a healthy and mature democracy, it is political fanaticism. But let's start by defining fanaticism: According to the definition of the Royal Spanish Academy : it is an “excessive passion and tenacity in the defense of beliefs or opinions, especially religious or political ones”. For Voltaire: “Fanaticism is to superstition what delirium is to fever, what rage is to anger. He who has ecstasies, visions, who takes dreams for realities and his imaginations for prophecies is a novice fanatic with great hopes; he may soon get to kill for God's sake." Therefore, fanaticism is identified by the desire to impose their ideas, despise those who are different, be based on a series of thoughts that are unquestionable, have a square view of t

Earthquakes-Mexico

Earthquakes in Mexico. In Mexico along with other countries, earthquakes are very common and this is because it is part of the Belt or Ring of Fire, located on the coasts of the Pacific Ocean and is characterized by concentrating some of the most important subduction zones of the world, which causes an intense seismic and volcanic activity in the areas covered.
