Is diabetes one of the most common diseases?

By
Diabetes is indeed one of the most prevalent chronic diseases worldwide, characterized by elevated levels of glucose in the blood. Type 2 diabetes, in particular, is the most common form, accounting for approximately 90% of all diabetes cases. It typically develops in adulthood, although it is increasingly being diagnosed in children and adolescents due to rising obesity rates and sedentary lifestyles.The main risk factors for type 2 diabetes include genetics, obesity, sedentary lifestyle, and poor dietary habits.

Genetics plays a significant role, as individuals with a family history of diabetes are at a higher risk of developing the condition. Obesity, especially excess abdominal fat, is strongly associated with insulin resistance, a hallmark of type 2 diabetes. Sedentary behavior and lack of physical activity can further exacerbate insulin resistance and contribute to the development of diabetes.Insulin resistance is a key feature of type 2 diabetes, where the body's cells become less responsive to insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. As a result, glucose builds up in the bloodstream instead of being absorbed by cells for energy, leading to high blood sugar levels. Over time, this can damage various organs and systems in the body, including the heart, kidneys, eyes, and nerves, increasing the risk of complications such as heart disease, stroke, kidney failure, blindness, and neuropathy.Management of type 2 diabetes typically involves lifestyle modifications, including healthy eating, regular physical activity, and weight management.

In some cases, oral medications or insulin therapy may be prescribed to help control blood sugar levels. It's crucial for individuals with type 2 diabetes to monitor their blood sugar levels regularly, adhere to their treatment plan, and attend regular medical check-ups to prevent complications and maintain overall health and well-being. Additionally, raising awareness about diabetes prevention and early detection is essential in combating the growing burden of this disease worldwide.

Diagnosis is based on lab tests measuring GFR and assessing kidney damage markers like proteinuria, albuminuria, or abnormal kidney imaging.Symptoms: Stage 4 CKD presents various symptoms, including:Fatigue: Due to anemia resulting from decreased erythropoietin production by the kidneys.Fluid Retention: Edema in legs and feet due to impaired fluid regulation by the kidneys.Nausea and Vomiting: Buildup of waste products and electrolyte imbalances affect gastrointestinal function.Changes in Urination: Decreased urine output, changes in urine color due to decreased kidney function.Itching: Accumulation of waste products like urea in the bloodstream causing pruritus.Muscle Cramps: Electrolyte imbalances and metabolic disturbances lead to muscle cramping.Difficult
