Diabetes tipo 1

Cómo les mencioné en el post anterior este es el tipo de diabetes que yo tengo. En esta ocasión les hablaré de lo que es.

La diabetes tipo 1, conocida como diabetes juvenil o insulinodependiente, generalmente se diagnostica diabetes tipo 1 en niños y jóvenes adultos. De 5 a 10% de los pacientes con diabetes tiene este tipo.

En la diabetes tipo 1, el sistema inmune destruye las células beta existentes en el páncreas, que fabrican insulina. Pero aun así no se sabe a ciencia cierta que la causa, los científicos creen que tanto la historia familiar de la persona como el medio ambiente (virus, en especial el Coxsackie B) juegan un papel importante para desencadenar este “proceso auto-inmune”.

*La insulina es la hormona que fabrican las células beta, que es necesaria para convertir el azúcar, los almidones y otros alimentos en la energía necesaria para la vida diaria y para eliminar la glucosa del torrente sanguíneo y controlar el exceso de azúcar en la sangre.*

Nosotros los pacientes con diabetes tipo 1 necesitamos dosis de insulina diariamente para controlar la diabetes y poder sobrevivir.

Síntomas.

A menudo no se diagnostica la diabetes porque muchos de sus síntomas parecen inofensivos, pero hay una gran variedad que pueden presentarse de manera súbita.

Sed excesiva
Constante necesidad de orinar
Pérdida de peso inexplicable
Aumento del apetito
Fatiga e irritabilidad extremas
Pérdida del conocimiento
Náuseas y vómitos
Aliento con olor a frutas
Visión borrosa

Tratamiento.

En el caso de la diabetes tipo 1, como ya les había comentado es necesaria la inyección diaria de insulina, tener un control de la glucosa (tener un diario para anotar las cifras y revisar cómo se comportan los niveles todos los días), llevar una alimentación saludable y equilibrada y realizar ejercicio.

Pero por supuesto todo esto de la mano del doctor quien será el que vea qué dosis de insulina son las que necesita el cuerpo de cada paciente.

Lo más importante es lograr un buen control de la glucosa y llevar una vida saludable, tomar las riendas de tu vida y alcanzar una salud óptima.

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. The National Seismological Service in Mexico recorded only 16 thousand 540 earthquakes in the last 12 years, which means that there are almost 4 earthquakes per day in the country.
