Understanding Diabetes and Hormone Disorders

What is Diabetes?

Diabetes is a chronic condition characterised by high levels of blood sugar (glucose) in the body. It occurs when the body either does not produce enough insulin or cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Insulin is a hormone that helps glucose enter cells to be used for energy. Without proper insulin function, glucose builds up in the bloodstream, leading to various health complications.

Types of Diabetes

Type 1 Diabetes: This autoimmune condition occurs when the body's immune system attacks insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It is usually diagnosed in children and young adults.

Type 2 Diabetes: This is the most common form of diabetes, often associated with obesity and lifestyle factors. It occurs when the body becomes resistant to insulin or when the pancreas cannot produce enough insulin.

Gestational Diabetes: This type occurs during pregnancy and usually disappears after childbirth. However, it increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes later in life.

Hormone Disorders and Their Impact

Hormone disorders, also known as endocrine disorders, can affect various aspects of health, including metabolism, growth, reproduction, and mood. Common hormone disorders include thyroid diseases, adrenal gland disorders, and pituitary gland disorders. These conditions can significantly impact quality of life and may require specialised care from hormone specialists for effective management.

Thyroid Disorders : The thyroid gland produces hormones that regulate metabolism. Disorders such as hypothyroidism (underactive thyroid) and hyperthyroidism (overactive thyroid) can lead to symptoms like fatigue, weight changes, and mood swings.
Adrenal Gland Disorders : The adrenal glands produce hormones that help regulate metabolism, immune response, and stress. Disorders such as Addison's disease (adrenal insufficiency) and Cushing's syndrome (excess cortisol) can cause a range of symptoms, including fatigue, muscle weakness, and high blood pressure.
