Classification of diabetes

Early diagnosis of all infections or diseases are highly important in its cure as well as proper management. Anyone can surivive any disease when it is detected or diagnosed early to warrant timely and proper treatment.
The complications of diabetes are serious – heart disease and stroke, hypertension, blindness, kidney disease, amputation, complications in pregnancy and depression are just a few. But there are ways to fight diabetes.
The classification of diabetes includes four clinical classes:
● Type 1 diabetes (results from β-cell destruction, usually leading to absolute insulin deficiency)
● Type 2 diabetes (results from a progressive insulin secretory defect on the background of insulin resistance)
● Other specific types of diabetes due to other causes, e.g., genetic defects in β-cell function, genetic defects in insulin action, diseases of the exocrine pancreas (such as cystic fibrosis), and drugor chemical-induced (such as in the treatment of HIV/AIDS or after organ transplantation)
● Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) (diabetes diagnosed during pregnancy that is not clearly overt diabetes)

All people with diabetes have one thing in common. They have too much sugar, or glucose, in their blood. People with very high blood glucose levels share many similar symptoms:
- extreme thirst
- a frequent desire to urinate
- blurred vision
- a feeling of being tired most of the time for no apparent reason
People with type 2 diabetes may also experience leg pain that may indicate nerve damage or poor circulation. Many people with type 1 diabetes and some people with type 2 diabetes also find that they lose weight even though they are hungrier than usual and are eating more.

Know the signs of diabetes disease, you can fight it.
