1. What exactly is diabetes mellitus or diabetes that ?
Diabetes is a disease where the body can not produce insulin (a hormone regulator of blood sugar) or insulin
generated is not sufficient or the insulin does not work properly. It will therefore lead to increased blood sugar when examined.

There are two main types of diabetes are:

Type 1 diabetes
A state where the body was completely unable to produce the hormone insulin. So the patient must
using injections of insulin in regulating blood sugar. Most of the sufferers are children & adolescents.

Diabetes Type 2
Occurs because the body does not produce enough insulin or because insulin can not be used with
properly (insulin resistance). This type is the most sustained current (90% more), often occur in those who
more than 40 years old, plump and have a family history of diabetes.

2. How to know whether we suffer from diabetes or not ?
Those suffering from diabetes often exhibit the following symptoms:

· thirst and lots of drinking
· Hungry and eat a lot
· Frequent urination
· Weight loss
· Eyes blurred
· Heal old wounds
· Easily infection of the skin (hives), urinary tract and gums
· Pain or numbness in hands or feet
· Body feels weak
· Easy sleepy

The symptoms above are common, but in some people the symptoms are often not found at all. To sure, required examination of the blood in the laboratory.

3. Anyone can suffer from Diabetes ?
Diabetes can occur in all people. But for those who have a family history of diabetes, greater likely to suffer from diabetes. In addition to family history, other risk factors are those that have heavy  excess weight (fat), high cholesterol (diet is not good), hypertension and lack of physical activity. Those who more than 40 years old accompanied by obesity will further increase the risk for diabetes.

4. How to ensure suffer diabetes or not ?
Diabetes diagnoses obtained when found the results as follows:
* Fasting blood sugar greater than or equal to 126 mg / dl
* When blood sugar is greater than or equal to 200 mg / dl
* Blood sugar 2 hours after administration of 75 g glucose solution (in an oral glucose tolerance test) results greater than or equal to 200 mg / dl

When a person has typical symptoms of Diabetes (many pee, drink a lot, a lot of eating, weight loss fast and
of weakness), then the results of the examination only once above have determined the person is suffering from diabetes.
But if there are no typical symptoms, it takes two times the above checks to confirm the diagnosis of Diabetes.

5. What is Pre Diabetes is it ?
Pre Diabetes is a condition where blood sugar is higher than normal but not high enough to be included in the Diabetes category. They are included in the category of Pre Diabetes, high risk of developing Type 2 diabetes later in life, except they make healthy lifestyle with excessive weight loss and active exercise. Someone put in the category of Pre Diabetes when fasting blood sugar ranged from 100-125 mg / dl. Blood sugar 2 hours after administration of 75 g glucose solution (in an oral glucose tolerance test) ranged from 140-199 mg / dl

6. How to cope with diabetes ?
Good people with diabetes type 1 and type 2, is essential for planning meals and exercise. To Diabetes Type 1 and some Type 2 diabetes, insulin injections are needed as well. For most people with Type 2 diabetes, required oral medication (oral medication) to help the body to make more insulin or help make insulin work better. Sometimes people with Type 2 diabetes can control their blood sugar without medication, just by setting diet and exercise regularly.

Persons with diabetes are encouraged to control regularly to the doctor. The doctor will give you an explanation of Diabetes and control, dietary adjustments, exercise, complications can occur and medication or insulin that needs to be is used. Patients also need to check blood sugar levels regularly and pass the examination of blood and urine periodically including HbA1c (blood sugar picture in the last 3 months), mikroalbumin urine (protein in urine leakage), cholesterol profile, kidney function, liver, and so on. Patients also need regular eye examinations at least 1 times a year to ensure the absence of complication Diabetes on the eyes (retinopathy).

7. What are the complications of diabetes that can happen ?
This is one important reason why patients need to control their blood sugar. Because the blood sugar control worse, patients will experience long-term complications such as stroke, heart disease, blindness, kidney failure, disease on blood vessels and nerve damage that can lead to amputation of limbs and in men can occur erectile disorder. Of research for 10 years that have been completed, showed that patients who keep their blood sugar remains controlled, will reduce the risk of these complications by 50% more.

8. What is blood sugar targets to be achieved by persons with Diabetes ?
Target of blood sugar is individual, so it could have been a different patient with other patients for targets to be is achieved. But in general targets to be achieved are:

Blood sugar before meals: 90-130 mg / dl
Blood sugar 2 hours after meals: under 160 mg / dl
Blood sugar before bed: 110-150 mg / dl

Targets for HbA1c (blood sugar picture in the last 3 months) is less than 7%
