Before starting to over topic first of all we know the anatomy of human eyes and its parts.

Human Eye :

Images for representation purpose only

• A pair of eyes located in the eye orbits of the skull.
• The expose part of eyes are protected by eye lids and eye lashes.
• Each eye is in the form of spherical eye ball shape which is having movements in the orbit of eye skull with the help of eye muscles.
• The human eye ball is formed by three concentric layers or coats. These are fibrous, vascular and nervous coat.
• In that the cornea is a anterior transparent part of sclera. It receives nutrients from tear and aqueous humur.
• Cornea is a main part of eye which allow the light to enter in eye ball and bending of light to form clear image.
• Then after that iris is a anterior part of vascular coat lies behind the cornea. It is colored due to presence of pigments and the central opening of iris known as pupil of eye.
• The amount of light enters to the eye ball is control by iris.
• In bright light the iris contract and the pupil becomes narrow and in opposite case if light level falls, the iris relax an the pupil becomes enlarge.
• Lens is the only structure in the eye that changes its refractive power of light.
• At the inner most side of eye ball retina is placed.

Eyes problems and it causes

In human eyes the retina is played major part of formation of vision. The cornea and iris has control of light enter to eye ball for clear image formation. The cornea is work as an filter of eye also for transmitting different types of rays to the eye ball in inner side of eye ball for image formation purpose.

Diabetes (Diabetes mellitus)

Diabetes is a disorder which may cause due to pancreas damages or not proper working of body cells with pancreas working .

Pancreas

• The Pancreas lies below the stomach in a part of duodenum.
• It is heterocrine gland i.e. dual gland posses exocrine as well as endocrine.
• Endocrine part of pancreas consist of a group of cells called Islets of Langerhan's present in between the acini of exocrine part of body.
• Islets of Langerhan's consist of three types of cells such as;

1. Alpha cells : Secrete glucagon.

   

   Images for representational purpose only

2. Beta cells : Secrete insulin.
3. Delta cells : Secrete somatiostatin   

• Diabetes mellitus cause due to deficiency of insulin i.e.Increase in blood sugar level (Hyperglycemia).

Role of Insulin :

• Insulin is a hormone produced by beta cells of the pancreatic islets.
• It is considered to be the main anabolic hormone of the body.
• It regulates the metabolism of the body and it enables the liver and muscles  to store glucose in the form of glycogen and enable the tissue to take up & use glucose as a source of energy.
• When the glucose level is high, the beta cells secrete insulin into the blood.When the glucose level is low,secretion of insulin is inhibited.
• Beta cells are sensitive to glucose concentrations,also known as 'Blood sugar levels'.

Diabetes mellitus

The most common endocrine disorder of the pancreas is diabetes mellitus.It is a group of disorder that lead to an increase in glucose level in the blood.This is due to failure of beta cells in islets of langerhan's to produce adequate amount of insulin.In India near about 62 million peoples suffers with diabetes disorder.The excess glucose eliminated through urine called a Glycosuria (normal range of blood sugar is about 100 mg per 100 ml of blood). 

Blood Sugar Level :

Fasting sugar level

Normal for person without diabetes = 70-100 mg/dl

For Diabetes person  = 80-130 mg/dl

After meal sugar level

Normal for person without diabetes = Less than 130/140 mg/dl

For Diabetes person = less than 180 mg/dl

There are two types of diabetes such as ;

1. Type 1 (Diabetes): A chronic condition in which the pancreas produces very little or null amount of insulin (insulin dependent diabetes). Insulin is a hormone needed to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy.Type 1 form of diabetes is cause due to permanently damage to pancreas.The exact cause for this happen is unknown but it also cause due family history, and genetics.
2. Type 2 (Diabetes): It is a long term metabolic disorder that is characterized by(high blood sugar) or resistance to insulin by body cells or tissues(Non-insulin dependent diabetes).Type 2 diabetes make up about 90% of cases of diabetes.In that case the level of sugar(glucose) in cells is too high.Its a lifelong condition that can affects patients everyday life with severe manner.
