What is Diabetes?

Diabetes mellitus, which is so widespread and debilitating, is a condition where the pancreas of the body is unable to secret the hormone insulin in response to raised blood sugar levels. It can happen due to an autoimmune response where the fighter cells of the body create antibodies and destroy the pancreas’ insulin-producing beta cells themselves.

Sometimes the duct of the pancreas becomes blocked due to excessive chloride ion secretion, and insulin becomes unavailable to the body. The most important factor in every cause of diabetes is that diabetes mellitus runs in families. Other than genes, environmental factors such as viruses can also trigger the disease.

Does a Diabetic Patient necessarily Need Live-in Care?

Diabetes is a chronic condition that makes way for other diseases gradually. It is not just a disease. If, by luck, a person is diagnosed at a very early stage, when it has not even begun to exhibit decreased insulin secretion, it can be managed well, and slowed down for a long time. But most often, diabetes is diagnosed when it has caused considerable damage.

In both cases, a stage has to reach where the patient begins to lose his vision. He develops nervous system abnormalities such as peripheral neuropathy, metabolic syndrome, and obesity. He exhausts with the minimum physical activity. He develops weak bones, joint pains, dizziness, frequent headaches, chronic atherosclerosis, and related cardiovascular conditions.

At this stage, live-in care is inescapable. You have to be 24/7 with your loved one with diabetes and associated complications to help them out with their daily tasks and to manage the disease. For instance, taking care of the amount of sugar or carbs the patient is taking, fat and protein content of his diet, insulin, artificial sweeteners, other medications, and regular blood pressure, and blood sugar tests.
