*DM*
*commonly referred to as diabetes*
.
(‘diabetes mellitus’ is a group of ‘metabolic diseases’ in which there are high ‘blood sugar levels’ over a prolonged period)
.
(symptoms of high ‘blood sugar’ include…)
‘frequent urination’
‘increased thirst’
‘increased hunger’
.
(if left untreated, ‘diabetes’ can cause many ‘complications’)
.
(‘acute complications’ can include…)
‘diabetic keto-acidosis’
nonketotic hyperosmolar coma, or
*death*
.
(serious ‘long-term complications’ include…)
‘heart disease’
‘stroke’
‘chronic kidney failure’
‘foot ulcers’
*damage to the ‘eyes’*
.
(‘diabetes’ is due to either…)
*the ‘pancreas’ not producing enough ‘insulin’*
*OR*
*the cells of the body not responding properly to the ‘insulin’ produced)
.
(‘prevention’ + ‘treatment’ involve…)
*maintaining a healthy diet*
*regular physical exercise*
*a normal ‘body weight’*
*avoiding use of ‘tobacco’*
.
.
([‘control’ of ‘blood pressure’] + [maintaining proper ‘foot care’] are important for people with the disease)
.
*’type 1 DM’ must be managed with ‘insulin injections’*
.
*’type 2 DM’ may be treated with ‘medications’
(with or without ‘insulin’)
.
(‘insulin’ + some ‘oral medications’ can cause low ‘blood sugar’)
(‘weight loss surgery’ in those with obesity is sometimes an effective measure in those with ‘type 2 DM’)
(“gestational diabetes” usually resolves after the birth of the baby)
(as of 2015, an estimated 415 million people had diabetes worldwide, with type 2 DM making up about 90% of the cases)
(this represents 8.3% of the adult population, with equal rates in both women and men)
(as of ‘2014’, trends suggested the rate would continue to rise)
(‘diabetes’ at least doubles a person’s risk of ‘early death’)
(from 2012 to 2015, approximately 1.5 to 5.0 million deaths each year resulted from ‘diabetes’)
(the global economic cost of diabetes in 2014 was estimated to be US $612 billion)
(in the ‘united states’, ‘diabetes’ cost $245 billion in ‘2012’)
