<h3>Diabetes</h3> <p><img style="height: 300px; width: 145px; float: right; border-width: 0px;" alt="diabetes word cloud" src="/images/diabeteswords.jpg" />Diabetes is a long-term (chronic) condition caused by too much glucose (sugar) in the blood. It is also known as diabetes mellitus. There are two types of diabetes - type 1 and type 2.</p> <p>According to the charity <a href="http://www.diabetes.org.uk/">Diabetes UK</a>, more than two million people in the UK have the condition and up to 750,000 more are believed to have it without realising they do.</p> <p>More than three-quarters of people with diabetes have type 2 diabetes mellitus. This used to be known as non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) or maturity-onset diabetes mellitus. The number of people with type 2 diabetes is rapidly increasing as it commoner in the overweight and obese, which is itself a growing problem.</p> <p>The remainder have type 1 diabetes mellitus, which used to be known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus.</p> <h3>What's the treatment for diabetes?</h3> <p>It's recognised that the sooner the blood sugar levels are brought under control, the better the long term prospects of preventing damage. Lifestyle advice about diet, weight management and regular activity is the first step.</p> <p>Type 1 diabetes will require immediate insulin therapy, Type 2 diabetes will first be managed with a drug called Metformin, if lifestyle changes alone aren't effective. There are now several other drugs used in type 2 diabetes, although eventually some type 2 diabetics will need insulin therapy as it's a progressive disease</p> <hr /> <h3>Diabetes UK - How to take a blood glucose test</h3> <p align="center"><iframe width="400" height="233" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/j-KN7FW9UVc?rel=0" frameborder="0" allowfullscreen="allowfullscreen"> </iframe></p> <p>There is further information and education on the <a href="http://uk.youtube.com/user/diabetesukcharity" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"><span color="#964646" style="color: #964646;">Diabetes UK Video Site</span></a></p> <hr /> <h3>Useful Links</h3> <p><a href="http://www.healthtalkonline.org/chronichealthissues/Diabetes_Type_2" rel="nofollow" target="_blank">Diabetes - Healthtalkonline</a> <br /> <a href="http://www.healthtalkonline.org" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"> <img style="float: right; margin: 2px; border-width: 0px;" alt="Healthtalkonline" src="/images/health/healthtalkonline.jpg" /> </a>Healthtalkonline, an award-winning charity website, lets you share in other people's experiences of health and illness.
