Scientists have made a sensational statement that a unique method for treating type IV diabetes has recently been developed, which has a different cellular cause, compared to other types of the disease. Doctors have long been looking for ways to combat such a terrible disease, a lot of time has been spent and now there is a way out. It is possible to cure people with the help of drugs that block immune cells. A specially developed drug blocks unhealthy cells in the human body, the effect is directly on fatty tissue. Treatment of type II diabetes is much more difficult, since another type has a different cellular cause of the disease.
Recently, several types of diabetes have been identified. The first is very common in children, its cause is that there are failures in the pancreas and the production of insulin stops. Mostly children and young people suffer from this disease (about 15% of the healthy population under 30 years of age).
The second type of diabetes develops after 40 years mainly in overweight people, and genetic predisposition is also of great importance. With type II diabetes, the body completely stops producing insulin, which is mainly caused by obesity. Therefore, if there is excess body weight, it is necessary to lose it to avoid the development of diabetes, since unhealthy cells are usually found in adipose tissue. People aged 40 and over are at risk for type II diabetes. Those patients who have experienced the second type of the disease complained of thirst, hunger, insomnia, as a result, they lost weight, and their health worsened.
The symptoms of type 3 diabetes are very similar to Alzheimer's disease and include forgetfulness, inability to make adequate and correct decisions, poor appetite, physical and mental weakness. With this type of diabetes, the brain malfunctions, resulting in all the above symptoms. This type of diabetes mainly affects older people aged 60 and above.
With the help of recent research, doctors have managed to discover a new fourth type of diabetes. One of the main reasons for the development of this type of diabetes is the deterioration of the organs and systems of the human body caused by natural processes, i.e. aging, the production of insulin is simply no longer possible. At the moment, specialists offer one treatment - the use of immunoblockers. But the method requires further development and improvement, so scientists will continue to work in this direction.
All types of diabetes affect women and men differently. Women are much more susceptible to this disease. Mortality increases every year and diabetes is the reason for this. Men also get sick, but the fatalities from this disease are much less than in women. The result of the disease is not comforting for people. Against the background of the development of high sugar, serious failures occur in the body. Death from heart attack and stroke is common among patients with diabetes.
Patients need to visit doctors regularly, be more attentive to the recommendations of doctors, if injections are necessary, then on time and do not forget to control the sugar level. All these simple procedures will help a person keep the blood sugar level under control, which will lead the patient to a full life.
People who have diabetics in their family need to undergo periodic examinations and have their blood tested for sugar. Today, medicine is able to fight even such a new type of diabetes as the fourth, detect it and keep it under control. Every day, doctors find new ways to fight the disease, and the chances increase many times over.
