Endocrine Connection Diabetes occurs when the pancreas, a gland behind the stomach, does not produce enough of the hormone insulin, or the This measures your blood sugar at the time you're tested. You'll drink a liquid that contains glucose, and then 1 hour later your blood will be drawn to check your blood sugar level. A normal result is 140 mg/dL or lower.body cannot use insulin properly

                Insulin helps carry sugar from the bloodstream into the cells.Your endocrinologist can help with pharmacological interventions like adjusting medication and insulin doses to better manage your condition. Additionally, they can suggest diet and exercise adjustments to help you optimize your health.

      The major endocrine organs in the human body include the pituitary gland, thyroid gland, adrenal gland, pancreas, and gonads (testes and ovaries). Diabetes affects the endocrine system in several ways, primarily by altering the production and function of hormones that regulate metabolism.

Diabetes occurs when the pancreas, a gland behind the stomach, does not produce enough of the hormone insulin, or the body cannot use insulin properly. Insulin helps carry sugar from the bloodstream into the cells. Once inside the cells, sugar is converted into energy for immediate use or stored for the future. That energy fuels many of our bodily functions.

The body produces glucose from the foods you eat. The liver also releases sugar when you are not eating. The pancreas produces the hormone insulin, which allows glucose from the bloodstream to enter the body’s cells where it is used for energy. In type 2 diabetes, too little insulin is produced, or the body cannot use insulin properly, or both. This results in a build-up of glucose in the blood. 

People with diabetes are at risk of developing serious health problems (complications). If your blood glucose level stays too high for too long, complications can include:

  • Blindness
  • Kidney disease and failure
  • Nerve damage which can result in nerve pain or injury to the feet or other extremities without feeling pain
  • Heart attacks (with or without symptoms)
  • Stroke

so monitor your glucose and keep it controlled .keep excercising ,do morning walk and keep yourself fit.

Accept the diabetes,live with it and enjoy the life.Live the life with fullest.
