When we ingest food it
has to be metabolized. Metabolism plays an important role when it comes to
health. Food which we are eating has to be broken down to release its
energy. Metabolism involves 2 processes that are catabolism and anabolism.
Catabolism is breakdown of molecule to release energy and anabolism refers to
synthesis of compounds needed by cells.
If you are suffering
from diabetes following mechanism takes places.
Type
1diabetes – Insulin Dependent – In this case our immune system destroys beta
cells in pancreas which produce insulin. So, patient has to take insulin by
external source.
Type
2 diabetes – Insulin Independent - Pancreas the organ in our body it release
insulin which convert food into glucose and distribute to cells in our body.
But if you are suffering from diabetes this glucose is not distributed to cell
and it gets buildup in blood stream. Hence, amount of glucose or sugar get
increased in body.
