Overview
Diabetes Mellitus (DM) or diabetes is a disease characterized by blood glucose levels that exceed normal (hyperglycemia) due to a deficiency of insulin either absolute or relatif. Diabetes occurs because the body can not convert food into energy. This is the condition in which we have a blood sugar (glucose) levels in our bodies. It is a chronic disease that can be controlled but not cured.

Types
The disease is classified according to its nature:
- Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 1)
- Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (type 2), composed of people obese and lean
- DM-related malnutrition
- DM associated with the condition or symptoms of certain diseases such as pancreatic disease, hormonal diseases, chemical obat-obatan/bahan, abnormal insulin / receptor, genetic syndromes, etc..
- DM in pregnancy

Causes of Diabetes Mellitus
DM is generally caused by a small or large part of the beta cells of the islands Langerhaens the pancreas that produce insulin, resulting in insulin deficiency. Besides, the DM can also occur due to interference with the function of insulin in glucose to enter the cells. Disorders that may occur due to obesity or other causes are not yet known. Basically, there are still things that are still unclear about the DM, both related to the cause of damage to the pancreas and cause insulin resistance.

Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
At this stage the symptoms are generally mild so it is not felt, became known only after laboratory tests. In advanced stages symptoms include:
- thirst

- Diet, reducing calories and increasing the intake of vitamin
- Physical activity regular exercise; management of glucose and improve insulin sensitivity
- Oral hypoglycaemic drugs; sulfonylurea stimulates the pancreas to produce insulin and decrease insulin resistance
- Insulin Therapy

Treatment with Medicinal Plants
Medicinal plants have an advantage in treating diabetes as most herbs have constructive functions of rebuilding damaged tissues and cure diseases other complications. Thus from medicinal plants are expected to:
- Improvement of pancreatic function
- Increase the effectiveness of insulin produced
- Complications due to diabetes cure
Treatment is specifically directed to improvement of pancreatic function and increase the effectiveness of insulin produced a significant reduction in insulin resistance. Thus, treatment of diabetes with herbs that cure diabetes is an effort not only lowers blood sugar levels.

 

Misconception about heart disease
1. Heart disease only occurs in obese people only.
 No. Not just because the fat people with heart disease. Than thin people, obese people are more at risk. However, not a skinny little people who suffer from heart defect.

Runoff and the rest of the fat granules which can be caught this infection in the brain blood vessels, so it can end up with a stroke.Coronary heart disease occurs when the coronary arteries that feed the heart muscle becomes blocked. Blockages can be derived from coronary blood vessel wall itself is increasingly thickened by fatty rust, it could be by submission of fat granules, blood clots, or blood waste from outside the heart.Heart to heart trouble or failure occurs when high blood left high for decades.
