Diabetes is a metabolic disorder characterised by an increased amount of glucose in the blood. Foods containing sugar are broken down to form glucose, the main source of energy for the body. Once in the blood stream the increased glucose levels stimulate the pancreas to release insulin which enables glucose uptake into cells. The blood glucose level then returns to normal. Diabetes causes several effects: the body either produces too little insulin, no insulin at all, or the cells do not respond appropriately to the insulin that is produced. This means the body cannot utilise the glucose and it remains in the blood stream.
The first symptoms of diabetes is an excessive thirst, frequent passing of urine, fatigue, headaches and nausea. Children often appear listless and tetchy. However, many people do not recognise these symptoms and the disease goes undiagnosed. If left untreated diabetes can lead to blindness, kidney failure, limb amputation, heart disease and inevitably death.
