Does diabetes cause weight loss? Yes. Diabetes is characterized by increased
huger, increased thirst and increased urine as well as decreased weight. Why do
these happen? What is their relationship?
Firstly, blood sugar is high for patients with diabetes. When the blood sugar
increases to some extent, it will filtrate out through urine. When sugar
discharges out, some water will also lose at the same time, which leads patients
with diabetes feel thirst. Because of lack of water, patients will drink more
water.
There are also problems in the absorption of glucose, which leads to the
insufficiency of energy. In this case, patients will feel hungry and want to
have more. When patients lack insulin or their insulin can not work normally,
the combination of fat will be faced with difficulty. So patients will become
thinner. In addition, insufficiency of energy will lead to fatigue, which is
also a feature of diabetes.
However, in the early stage of diabetes, sometimes there is only increased
blood sugar and there are no other symptoms, we can also get a conclusion that
patients may have got diabetes for blood sugar is the evidence which can tell us
whether they have got diabetes.
Once diagnosed with diabetes, we need not worry for as long as we can treat
according to the pathological mechanism, the effects will be good. At present,
stem cell is believed the best therapy which can treat diabetes. The mechanism
goes as follows: pancreas islet β cells are damaged, which leads to insufficient
secretion of insulin. In this case, the blood sugar will increase. If this can
not be treated or controlled well, it will lead to systematic disorder and a
series of complications will occur as well. Stem cells can repair the damaged
pancreas islet β cells, thus recovering the function of insulin. In this case,
the secretion of insulin can turn normal and diabetes can recover
consequently.
Once diagnosed, we should seize the best time to treat. Long time diabetes
will lead to many complications such as diabetic nephropathy, a kind of kidney
disease caused by long time blood sugar, diabetic feet, diabetic retinopathy and
so on.
