There are many hundreds things that can go wrong with your body. Consider this short list:
11 beta hydroxylase deficiency - Cutaneous anthrax - Fragoso Cid Garcia Hernandez syndrome - Fetal cytomegalovirus syndrome - COFS syndrome - Fetal phenothiazine syndrome - Allergic autoimmune thyroiditis - 49 xxxxx syndrome - Angiotensin renin aldosterone hypertension - Carpenter Hunter type - Bacterial endocarditis
Fortunately, even most doctors have not heard of some of these. But even though it is considered fairly uncommon, you probably know someone with Juvenile Onset Diabetes.
Symptoms
While the signs and symptoms of Type I diabetes tend to be subtle in most cases, if not treated, they can eventually become quite severe. Some of the most common symptoms include:
Blurry vision - Heavy or labored breathing for no apparent reason - Tingling in the hands or feet - Increased hunger, even just after eating - Frequent urination - Increased thirst - Frequent skin, vaginal, or urinary tract infections
Some of the more serious symptoms and signs associated with Type I diabetes that demand an urgent need for medical attention include:
Abdominal pain Fruity or sweet smelling breath Loss of consciousness, rarely in extreme cases Confusion Shaking, trembling
Causes
Scientists still aren't aware of some of the factors causing one to have Type I diabetes. But, they do know that a tendency to the condition may be inherited from one or both parents. Researchers have discovered that juvenile onset diabetes may also be caused by something in the environment that causes an unexpected reaction within the immune system. But, they are unsure as to the exact origin of these possible triggers.
Diagnosis
For an accurate diagnosis of Type I diabetes, a family doctor must check for abnormally high blood sugar levels by performing a blood test, or also testing for the presence of glucose or ketones in the urine. Today, there is no way to test for impending Type I diabetes, or a method to prevent this type of diabetes.
Treatment
There are many people, of all ages, who enjoy long, quite healthy lives despite having Type I diabetes. It's imperative to keep blood sugar levels within their normal range, which may be achieved by eating the right foods, getting enough exercise, and the correct insulin therapy consistentlyone or more times a day. Anyone with this disease is require to have insulin injections in order to properly control their blood sugar level, which will also have to be tested regularly.
Without treatment, Type I diabetes may evolve into or cause several serious conditions, some of which may be life-threatening. Kidney disease is a quite common complication in those with the disease with a condition known as nephropathy. Other possible complications include retinopathy, which causes a loss of vision, heart disease, nerve damageand digestive disorders which may also result without medical treatment.
Although a serious condition, Type I diabetes is a problem that can still be successfully managed with the right medical care.
