Education on the Protocol of Dealing with Students

Suffering from Diabetes

Diabetes mellitus is a chronic metabolic disease in which blood glucose levels are continuously
elevated. The cause of high glucose values is a lack of the hormone insulin or insensitivity of
peripheral tissues to normal levels of this hormone. The pancreas produces insulin, a hormone
that regulates blood sugar levels by allowing sugar to enter cells where it is converted into
energy for life-important processes in the body. There are two types of diabetes mellitus. Type
1, which occurs in children and young people and is insulin dependent and type 2, more
common in the elderly and obese. Complications of diabetes are hypoglycemia and
hyperglycemia that need to be prevented and kept the disease under control.
