Diabetes & Public Health

Diabetes is a long-term disorder that ascends by changes in the way in which insulin is formed and used. Insulin is a hormone that enables the consumption of glucose, by cells, for energy production. The storage of glucose is promoted by Insulin as glycogen, and plays an important role in lipid metabolism. Deficiency of insulin causes the levels of blood glucose levels to increase, causing life threatening results possibly. The pancreas stops production of insulin which causes excessive thirst, urinating frequently, fatigue and severe illness which require instant treatment injecting insulin daily to uphold life, in TYPE 1 Diabetes. Whereas TYPE 2 Diabetes develop when the pancreas are unable produce enough insulin for the body needs.
