Diabetes Adults

Diabetes is a chronic disease characterized by high blood sugar levels. It can occur in people of any age and gender, but is especially common among adults.

One of the most common types of diabetes in adults is type 2 diabetes. This means that the body cannot properly absorb glucose from food. This type of diabetes usually develops after cells in the pancreas stop producing insulin, a hormone that helps the body metabolize sugar. The causes of type 2 diabetes in adults can be varied, including obesity, heredity, poor diet and lack of physical activity.

Diabetes mellitus belongs to the group of diseases of the endocrine system. It is associated with the development of hypoglycemia (a sharp decrease in blood glucose levels). Hypoglycemia can lead to serious consequences, such as hypoxia of cerebral vessels, acute heart failure, loss of consciousness, impaired renal function and impaired blood microcirculation in the skin.

The development of diabetes mellitus is caused by damage to organs and tissues. Diabetes mellitus is characterized by damage to the cardiovascular system, eyeball, kidneys, liver, nerve fibers, and skin. Already at an early stage of the disease, changes in small vessels are observed: expansion of small arteries, and then their narrowing. This leads to disruption of vascular permeability
