Diabetes is one of the fastest growing diseases in the world today. Millions of people all over the world suffer from diabetes and the number just keeps increasing every year. But almost 6 million of them are completely unaware that they even have the disease and it is left undiagnosed or untreated. They are completely unaware that it may cause serious health issues for them.
Diabetes mellitus is a disease identified by high levels of blood sugar and a disordered metabolism due to the low levels of the hormone Insulin. There are two types of diabetes, 1 and 2. Type 1 is not as common as Type 2, and occurs before the age of 40.
Today most people have turned to the internet to know more about diabetes, like how to cure the disease, drug therapies and so on. But finding valuable medical information becomes progressively difficult as the Internet continues to grow. In an attempt to simplify this task, people can use social networking sites. It is a perfect platform to know a lot of people, and be more aware of diabetes.
Experts in the medical field can form a group and discuss diabetes related problems, ongoing research on diabetes, how to recover their patients from critical situations, safe treatment for diabetes and so on. They can upload videos of lecturers on how they treat their patients, how they diagnosed the disease, what facilities they have in their hospitals, medicines, diabetic surgery, etc. and place them on site. It will be very helpful for people to know more about them.
People who suffer from diabetes can form groups on site and share their health problems with others, and get good advice like tips to lead a healthy life, diabetes diet and exercise, better medical treatment for diabetes and so on.
