Stage 2

Patients can get this symptom by the body not producing enough insulin for proper function, or the cells in the body do not react to insulin.

When the cells in the body does not react to the insulin in due to (insulin resistance).

Patients with this stage 2 diabetes will have a harder time to control this symptom as it is more progressive disease.

Overweight people will have a higher risk of getting this stage 2 diabetes.

After you eat or drink, your body breaks down the sugars in your blood and turns it into glucose. The glucose travels through your bloodstream and provides your body with energy. To accomplish this, your pancreas needs to produce a hormone called insulin. In a person with diabetes (diabetes mellitus), the pancreas either produces too little insulin or none at all, or the insulin can’t be used effectively. This allows blood glucose levels to rise while the rest of your cells are deprived of much needed energy. This can lead to a lot of problems affecting nearly every part of your body.

These are some of the effects that diabetes on the body.

Pancreas Malfunction

Ketoacidosis

Extreme Thirst

Excessive Urination

Sweet-Smelling Breath

Loss of Consciousness

Protein in the Urine

Lack of Concentration

Stomach Problems

Damaged Blood Vessel

Foot Problems

High Blood Pressure

Heart Disease

Stroke

Dry, Cracked Skin

 

The main problem in Type 2 diabetes is the presence of what is called insulin resistance. In this sort of diabetes, the pancreas starts off robust in its production of insulin. However, cells that need energy don’t respond normally to the usual amounts of insulin. The pancreas has to produce much higher levels of the hormone in order to manage blood glucose levels. Over time, the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas can burn themselves out due to this overproduction. At this point a person with Type 2 diabetes begins to require insulin medication. However, in earlier phases of this more common type of diabetes, the illness can be effectively managed with diet, exercise, and careful monitoring of blood sugars. Some people with Type 2 diabetes may require a variety of oral medications and eventually, as described above, some will eventually need insulin.(copy)
