In Type 1 diabetes, your pancreas doesn't make any insulin. It's caused by an autoimmune reaction. Type 2 diabetes usually affects older adults, though it's becoming more common in children. Type 1 diabetes usually develops in children or young adults, but people of any age can get it.

Today let's explore Cholesterol, LDL, HDL, & Triglycerides. Cholesterol belongs to the steroid hormone group of lipids. Cholesterol comes from two sources: your liver and eating animal fats. It’s needed for cell integrity and to synthesize vitamins and other hormones, but since it isn’t water-soluble, it must be transported with the help of proteins, forming lipoproteins.

Low-density lipoprotein (LDL) transports cholesterol from the liver to other parts of the body via the bloodstream. In atherosclerosis, LDL contributes to the build-up of fat and cholesterol in the blood, leading to narrow arteries and is associated with an increased risk of cardiovascular disease, heart attack, and stroke. High-density lipoprotein (HDL) absorbs cholesterol in the blood and carries it to the liver. The liver then uses bile to break down fats, or to synthesize excess energy as triglycerides. While LDL is commonly called the “bad” cholesterol, and HDL the “good” cholesterol, the situation is not quite so simple and both forms have important functions in the body.

Triglycerides are not cholesterol, but rather they are the storage form of fat in the adipose tissue of your body. When needed, triglycerides are metabolized into glycerol and fatty acids. Fatty acids can then be used directly by tissues or metabolized into ketones.

Diet can have a profound impact on cholesterol and triglyceride levels, but not everyone responds in the same way. There is conflicting data regarding the effects of low carbohydrate or ketogenic diets on blood lipids; however, several studies have demonstrated a reduction in triglycerides and an elevation in HDL. The effect on LDL is less consistent, and can be elevated in some people, at times to significant degrees. The implication of these changes in the context of a ketogenic diet is not well understood, but we consider it helpful to focus on the “forest” of risk factors instead of any individual “tree”. Using a single marker for cardiovascular risk can fail to account for other risk factors of overall health.

The blood-brain barrier comprises the sets of membranes that separate the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral circulatory system. This barrier allows passage of nutrients and cell signals from the bloodstream to the CNS while excluding harmful substances.

Diabetes and UTI

Why diabetics are more susceptible to urinary tract infection (UTI)? Has this affected you?

Hyperglycemia is the main reason why. When there is too much glucose in the blood, too much of it passes in urine too. Bacteria in the urinary tract and ge***al area feed on the high glucose of the urine, promoting their growth. In addition to this, immunity is weak among diabetics who have uncontrolled blood glucose.

High unopposed sugar levels cause neuropathy, which affects multiple organs including the bladder. This causes the bladder to fill without sending signals to alert the individual to go to the bathroom "lazy bladder". Urine stasis in the bladder enhance the multiplication of bacteria and increase the risk of infection.
