Stress and Social Support Vs Diabetes Mellitus
- 1. Stress and social support Vs Diabetes Mellitus Dr Neeta Gupta
- 2. Diabetes is a disease that occurs when your blood glucose, also called blood sugar, is too high. Blood glucose is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Insulin, a hormone made by the pancreas, helps glucose from food get into your cells to be used for energy.
- 3. Type I diabetes: Also known as juvenile diabetes, this type occurs when the body fails to produce insulin. People with type I diabetes are insulin-dependent, which means they must take artificial insulin daily to stay alive.
- 4. Type 2 diabetes: Type 2 diabetes affects the way the body uses insulin. While the body still makes insulin, unlike in type I, the cells in the body do not respond to it as effectively as they once did. This is the most common type of diabetes and it has strong links with obesity. It is also called type 2 diabetes mellitus and adult- onset diabetes. That's because it used to start almost always in middle- and late-adulthood. However, more and more children and teens are developing this condition.
- 5. Diabetes mellitus is a disorder in which the body does not produce enough or respond normally to insulin, causing blood sugar (glucose) levels to be abnormally high. Urination and thirst are increased, and people may lose weight even if they are not trying to. Symptoms: Weight loss; Polydipsia
- 6. Polyuria: It is a condition where the body urinates more than usual and passes excessive or abnormally large amounts of urine each time you urinate.
- 7. Gestational diabetes: This type occurs in women during pregnancy when the body can become less sensitive to insulin. Gestational diabetes does not occur in all women and usually resolves after giving birth.
- 8. Diabetes insipidus (die-uh-BEE-teze in-SIP-uh-dus) is an uncommon disorder that causes an imbalance of fluids in the body. This imbalance leads you to produce large amounts of urine. It also makes you very thirsty even if you have something to drink.
- 9. Some of the signs and symptoms of type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes are: •Increased thirst •Frequent urination •Extreme hunger •Unexplained weight loss •Presence of ketones in the urine (ketones are a byproduct of the breakdown of muscle and fat that happens when there's not enough available insulin) •Fatigue •Irritability •Blurred vision •Slow-healing sores •Frequent infections, such as gums or skin infections and vaginal infections
- 10. Causes of type 1 diabetes The exact cause of type 1 diabetes is unknown. What is known is that your immune system — which normally fights harmful bacteria or viruses — attacks and destroys your insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. This leaves you with little or no insulin. Instead of being transported into your cells, sugar builds up in your bloodstream. Type 1 is thought to be caused by a combination of genetic susceptibility and environmental factors, though exactly what those factors are is still unclear. Weight is not believed to be a factor in type 1 diabetes. Causes of prediabetes and type 2/malletus diabetes In prediabetes — which can lead to type 2 diabetes — and in type 2 diabetes, your cells become resistant to the action of insulin, and your pancreas is unable to make enough insulin to overcome this resistance. Instead of moving into your cells where it's needed for energy, sugar builds up in your bloodstream. .
- 11. Exactly why this happens is uncertain, although it's believed that genetic and environmental factors play a role in the development of type 2 diabetes too. Being overweight is strongly linked to the development of type 2 diabetes, but not everyone with type 2 is overweight. 3.Causes of gestational diabetes During pregnancy, the placenta produces hormones to sustain your pregnancy. These hormones make your cells more resistant to insulin. Normally, your pancreas responds by producing enough extra insulin to overcome this resistance. But sometimes your pancreas can't keep up. When this happens, too little glucose gets into your cells and too much stays in your blood, resulting in gestational diabetes
- 12. Stress & Diabetes Stress is a feeling of emotional or physical tension. It can come from any event or thought that makes you feel frustrated, angry, or nervous. Stress is your body's reaction to a challenge or demand. In short bursts, stress can be positive, such as when it helps you avoid danger or meet a deadline.
- 13. Stress and diabetes Diabetes management is a lifelong process. This can add stress to your daily life. Stress can be a major barrier to effective glucose control. Stress hormones in your body may directly affect glucose levels. If you’re experiencing stress or feeling threatened, your body reacts. This is called the fight-or-flight response. This response elevates your hormone levels and causes your nerve cells to fire.
- 14. During this response, the body releases adrenaline and cortisol into the bloodstream and respiratory rates increase. Our body directs blood to the muscles and limbs, allowing us to fight the situation. Our body may not be able to process the glucose released by our firing nerve cells if you have diabetes. If you can’t convert the glucose into energy, it builds up in the bloodstream. This causes the blood glucose levels to rise. Constant stress from long-term problems with blood glucose can also wear you down mentally and physically. This may make managing your diabetes difficult.
- 15. Stress can affect people differently. The type of stress that you experience can also have an impact on your body’s physical response. When people with type 2 diabetes are under mental stress, they generally experience an increase in their blood glucose levels. People with type 1 diabetes may have a more varied response. This means that they can experience either an increase or a decrease in their blood glucose levels. When you’re under physical stress, your blood sugar can also increase. This can happen when you’re sick or injured. This can affect people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes.

- 18. You may feel more comfortable talking with a professional about your stress. A therapist can provide coping mechanisms tailored to your individual situation and give you a safe environment to talk. They may also provide medical advice that online or in-person support groups can’t offer.
- 19. How to prevent Foods that don’t force insulin production. Refined sugars force your body to produce more insulin, which causes your cells to become more resistant to it. To lower that resistance, fill your diet with vegetables; healthy fats such as olive oil, avocado, and nuts; and healthy proteins such as grass- fed beef, pasture-raised poultry and wild-caught fish. This not only lowers your blood sugar to prevent diabetes, but it also fuels your body to function better overall.
- 20. Regular physical movement Moving your body uses up excess insulin and improves insulin sensitivity in your cells. Even 30 minutes of movement a day can greatly decrease your risk of Type 2 diabetes, especially if your current lifestyle is chronically sedentary.
- 21. Can a person recover from stress induced diabetes? By focusing on lowering your stress levels, you can reverse its effects on your blood sugar and insulin sensitivity. Adopt a meditation routine, participate in activities you find relaxing, and socialize with friends and family more often. In some cases, long- lasting stress might have a deeper underlying cause. If you need help reducing your chronic stress, consider reaching out to a counsellor.
- 22. Importance of social support in diabetes care Social support is considered as one of the influential and important factors for performing self-care and for adherence to the treatment and disease control which can facilitate self-care behaviors and compatibility with the disease. On the other hand, a major part of the care for this disease is done at home and inside the family. Therefore, diabetes is sometimes called a family disease because its control and demands influence all family members. Thus, social support, especially family support, can be a vital component in the successful control of diabetes.
- 23. It is no secret that people with a chronic illness such as diabetes have a higher rate of depression. Often in individuals with diabetes, depression results in difficulty coping and following through with the recommended treatment plan. “Diabetes distress” is a term that broadly covers specific worries, fears, and concerns that those with diabetes may face when they struggle with the demands of a progressive chronic illness.
