What is Diabetes, Nutrition and Metabolic Diseases?
Nutrition and metabolic diseases are medical specialties that deal with the prevention, diagnosis and treatment of metabolic disorders such as diabetes mellitus, obesity, dyslipidemia and hyperuricemia.
Types of diseases and what causes them
- Diabetes mellitus: Chronic hyperglycemia, caused by decreased insulin secretion or decreased insulin sensitivity. There are two main types of diabetes:
- Diabetes saccharat from tip 1An autoimmune disease in which the immune system attacks insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas.
- Type 2 diabetes mellitus: A condition due to an unhealthy lifestyle, caused by genetic and environmental factors, characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin insufficiency.
- Obesity: Excessive accumulation of body fat, caused by an unhealthy lifestyle and genetic factors, which can lead to type 2 diabetes and other metabolic diseases.
- Dyslipidemia: A disorder of lipid metabolism with increased risk of cardiovascular disease, characterized by abnormal levels of cholesterol and triglycerides in the blood.
- Hyperuricemia: Increased uric acid levels, leading to gout, an inflammatory joint disease caused by the deposition of uric acid crystals.
