Diabetes

Diabetes JAMA PATIENT PAGE The Journal of the American Medical Association iabetes is a common chronic medical condition that leads to increased blood sugar (glucose) levels. Severe complications can come from diabetes, including heart disease, vascular (blood vessel) disease and poor circulation, blindness, kidney D failure, poor healing, stroke, and other neurological (nerve) diseases. Diabetes cannot be cured but can be successfully treated. Complications from diabetes can be prevented with careful blood sugar management and control of high blood pressure and high cholesterol levels when present. The April 15, 2009, issue of JAMA is a theme issue devoted to articles about diabetes. TYPES OF DIABETES Type 1 diabetes, often referred to as “juvenile” diabetes or “insulin-dependent” diabetes, occurs when the body’s pancreas does not produce enough insulin (the hormone that processes glucose). Type 1 diabetes is usually diagnosed in childhood or adolescence and requires lifelong insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes, also called “adult-onset” diabetes, is much more common. Type 2 diabetes is becoming more and more common in children and teenagers because of the increase in obesity in young people. Insulin resistance is a major issue in type 2 diabetes—the body produces insulin but is unable to process glucose appropriately. http://www.deepdyve.com/assets/images/DeepDyve-Logo-lg.png JAMA American Medical Association
