Diabetes mellitus – a disease for life
Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by hyperglycaemia, which is elevated blood sugar levels. Type 1 diabetes is caused by damage to the beta cells in the pancreas that produces insulin. It starts in childhood or adolescence and requires insulin for the rest of your life.
Type 2 diabetes usually begins after the age of 40, although there are also many cases of adolescence today. Its main cause is bad eating habits and obesity. Its formation is also favored by hypertension and diseases of the cardiovascular system. This type of diabetes is based on insufficient use of the insulin produced by the pancreas.
Diabetes is said to be an insidious disease, as it may be asymptomatic for years, while simultaneously destroying blood vessels, heart, kidneys, nerves and eyesight. Symptoms that appear only with high blood glucose levels include:
- weight loss
- increased thirst,
- frequent urination,
- recurrent inflammation of the urinary tract,
- skin changes.
3 million people suffer from diabetes in Poland, of which 10% are type 1 diabetics. It is estimated that one million people have undiagnosed diabetes yet.
BIOTON – producer of human insulin
In type 1 diabetes it is necessary to take insulin. It could be:
- animal insulin, obtained from animal pancreas,
- humanized insulin, pork insulin, which, due to the exchange of one amino acid, resembles human insulin,
- human insulin, resulting from the fermentation of bacteria or fungi into which the human gene responsible for the production of insulin has been introduced,
- a human insulin analog in which at least one amino acid is replaced, which gives the product specific properties.
BIOTON is a producer of human insulin.
