Introduction

All of the chemical processes that take place within your body are referred to as "metabolism." The utilisation of energy is required for these chemical processes. They need different amounts of energy depending on their age, body weight, and body composition, among other things. The usage of the hormone insulin by your body is hampered by diabetes. Through the delivery of glucose from the bloodstream to the tissues, this hormone controls blood sugar levels. Uncontrolled diabetes results in persistently high blood sugar levels, which can damage your organs and blood vessels. This section will examine how diabetes impacts your metabolism and how it relates to obesity [1].

Description

Every second, billions of chemical processes take place in your body. The totality of these chemical processes makes up your metabolism. Energy must be used to fuel each of these reactions. Energy must be used even to separate useful energy from food. The term "metabolic rate" refers to how many calories on average your body burns in a given period of time. It is divided into three main sections. Reliable sources of energy include your baseline metabolic rate, energy expended during digestion, and energy expended during physical exercise [2].

The only significant difference between those with and without diabetes is that those with diabetes have insulin malfunction. Following food consumption, your saliva and digestive system usually break down carbohydrates. When carbs are digested, a substance called glucose is released into the bloodstream. Your pancreas makes insulin, which carries glucose to your cells so they can use it for energy. Patients with diabetes either do not respond to insulin, create insufficient amounts of it, or both. Blood sugar levels may remain elevated as a result of this [3].

An autoimmune condition known as type 1 diabetes causes the body to target and kill the beta cells that make insulin in the pancreas. Between early adulthood and childhood, it is frequently diagnosed. People with type 1 diabetes must use insulin injections or an insulin pump to manage their blood sugar levels. The biggest risk factor for type 2 diabetes is obesity. It is believed to at least six times enhance your risk regardless of genetic predisposition. Metabolic syndrome is more prone to develop in overweight or obese adults. A set of five risk factors known as metabolic syndrome raises your risk of developing heart disease, type 2 diabetes, or a stroke. 90 to 95 percent of diabetes cases are type 2 diabetes. When your body becomes insulin resistant, it occurs. When your cells stop responding to insulin and your blood sugar level stays high, you have insulin resistance. In order to counteract insulin resistance, your pancreas generates more insulin. This excessive output could harm the beta cells in your pancreas. Eventually, your pancreas won't be able to make enough insulin to successfully lower your blood sugar. You have prediabetes if your blood sugar levels are persistently high but not high enough to be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. According to Trusted Source, more than one-third of adult Americans have prediabetes.

Insulin is frequently needed by diabetic people to keep blood sugar levels normal. Typically, injections of insulin are given using pens or syringes. An insulin pump that is implanted under your skin is another option. Another choice is to breathe in inhaled insulin through your lungs. This kind of insulin works immediately and swiftly fades off. Rapid-acting injectable insulin lasts 1.5 to 2 hours as opposed to 4 hours. A severe episode of low blood sugar brought on by taking too much insulin may be fatal. Low blood sugar can result from prolonged fasting, skipping meals, or strenuous exercise. You can make wise judgements about food and drugs by routinely checking your blood sugar levels. You'll learn more about how your body functions. [4,5].

Conclusion

To make taking the right dose of insulin easier, many people count carbs. A high-carb dinner, particularly one high in simple carbs, raises blood sugar levels more than a low-carb meal does, and more insulin is needed to maintain normal blood sugar levels. The process of metabolism is how the body turns the food and liquids a person consumes into energy. After a meal, the body starts metabolising proteins, lipids, and carbohydrates to produce energy. The body then uses this energy to maintain the function of its organs and biological processes.
