Question

Children who suffer from _________ could face a variety of health problems when they grow up, such as amputation, kidney failure, and blindness

Answer 1

Answer:

Type 2 diabetes

Explanation:

It is the most common form of diabetes. It is an increasingly common disease that is related to poor eating habits, sedentary lifestyle and obesity.

In patients with diabetes 2 there is in general a state of resistance to the action of insulin (insulin resistance). Insulin is necessary for the body to use sugar, an essential fuel for the body's cells, since it transports it from the blood to the cells.

When there is insulin resistance, the cells do not respond to insulin, even though there is a good amount in the blood. This results in the accumulation of glucose in the blood. Hyperglycemia is one of the main causes of many of the complications that people with diabetes suffer.

Diabetes implies an increase in the risk of cardiovascular diseases such as heart attack and stroke. Poor glycemic control can damage the kidneys (nephropathy), nerves that run through the body (neuropathy) and cause eye problems (retinopathy) and even cause blindness.
