Answer 1

Osteoporosis means "porous bone". It is a bone disease that is caused when body is making less bones or looses too much bone. It means Osteoporosis occurs when the creation of new bone doesn't keep up with the loss of old bone.Osteoporosis makes the bone less dense and as a result they break very easily. They also have abnormal tissue structure.

Osteoporosis can occur in people of any age, but it’s more common in older adults, especially in women. People with osteoporosis are at a high risk of fractures, while doing routine activities such as standing or walking. The most commonly affected bones are the hips and the bones of wrists and spine. Medications, healthy diet and weight-bearing exercise can help prevent bone loss or strengthen already weak bones.

Hormones also influences the prognosis of osteoporosis. Lowering of sex hormones also tends to weaken bones. The reduction of estrogen levels in women at menopause is one of the strongest risk factors for developing osteoporosis.Men have a gradual reduction in testosterone levels as they age and this also increases the risk of Osteoporosis. Too much thyroid hormone can cause bone loss. This can occur during hyperthyroidism or when taking medicine to treat hypothyroidism.

Low intake of calcium, eating disorder and gastrointestinal surgery also causes osteoporosis. Cancer, Kidney, liver and celiac disease also cause osteoporosis.

Good nutrition and regular exercise is essential for keeping bones healthy. A diet rich in Proteins, calcium and vitamin is essential for preventing osteoporosis.

Diabetic mellitus is a group of Metabolic disorder characterised by high level of sugar over a prolonged period of time. It is caused due to the lack of hormones insulin that convert excess glucose in the body to glycogen. Insulin is produced by pacreatic beta cells.

Diabetes is caused when pacrease is not producing enough insulin, or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. Diabetic melitus are of three types they are Type 1 DM and Type 2 DM. Type 1 DM is caused due to the loss of beta cells. It is also called insulin dependent DM or Juvenile DM. Type 2 DM is caused when cells are not able to respond to insulin properly. It is also called insulin indipendent DM or adult onset DM. Gestational DM is a condition seen during the times of pregnancy.

  frequent urination, blurred vision, or poor wound healing, excessive thrist etc are the symptoms of DM. Obesity, age, family history, sedentary life style etc are the triggering factors for DM.

Some of the potential complications of diabetes include: Heart and blood vessels disease such as stroke and arteriosclerosis, neuropathy (lo se of sense of feeling in the affected area), nephropathy (kidney damage), retinopathy (eye damage), slow wound healing ( If Left untreated, blisters become serious infections,that may lead to leg amputation.

Although their is no cure for DM, eating a healthy diet with low carbohydrates, avoiding sedentary life style, exercising regularly etc can control DM.
