— Dr. Rakesh K. Srivastava’s A Comprehensive Guide to Diabetes
The human body converts food into glucose before sending it into the bloodstream. Your pancreas secretes insulin, which regulates your blood sugar and prevents it from going too high or too low. Insulin also allows your body cells to use the sugar in your blood for energy. Diabetes could prevent your body cells from responding to insulin, leading to an accumulation of blood sugar. This condition could also prevent your pancreas from producing sufficient insulin. Unfortunately, there is no known cure for diabetes. However, this article could shed more light on the condition and discuss Dr. Rakesh K. Srivastava’s efforts to improve the quality of life for diabetes patients.
Types of Diabetes
There are two main types of diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes
Before it changed its name, type 1 diabetes used to be known as insulin-dependent or juvenile-onset diabetes. This type of diabetes is common in children and young adults. Scientists believe that type 1 diabetes results from an autoimmune response that causes the immune system to destroy the cells that secrete insulin in the body. As a result, your body lacks enough insulin to convert food into glucose. Therefore, patients with type 1 diabetes need to take a particular dose of insulin daily to survive.
Type 2 diabetes
Type 2 diabetes is common in individuals aged 40 and over. However, recent studies reveal that more young people are diagnosed with this condition. It is also known as non-insulin-dependent or adult-onset diabetes. In this condition, the pancreas fails to produce enough insulin. The body cells also fail to respond to insulin correctly, accumulating excess sugar in the bloodstream.
Causes
The following are probable causes of diabetes.
- A sedentary lifestyle
- Obesity
- A history of diabetes or gestational diabetes
- Genetics
- Insulin resistance in the body
Signs and symptoms

How to manage and treat diabetes
According to Dr. Rakesh, it would be wise to get treatment depending on the type of diabetes you suffer from. For type 1 diabetes, the best and only way to manage it would be to ensure you don't miss your daily insulin dose. However, if you have type 2 diabetes, you would need a combination of insulin and other drugs your physician will prescribe to you. Dr. Srivastava also suggests you cultivate significant positive changes in your lifestyle, such as increased physical activity, eating clean, and improved efforts to manage weight.
