Diabetes is a term that covers several conditions that relate to a person's ability to process sugar. The two most common conditions are called Type 1 and Type 2. Both of these conditions have similarities, but they also have great differences.…
Diabetes is a group of diseases that is caused by high levels of blood glucose and is caused by defects in insulin production. Diabetes is one of the leading causes of death and disability in the United States. There are a few different types of Diabetes, There is type 1, which used to be called juvenile diabetes and is caused by the body’s immune system attacking and destroying its own insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. Type 1 accounts for about five percent while type 2 accounts for around ninety to ninety five percent of all diagnosed cases (Services, 2011). Type 2 will occur when the body cannot use the insulin produced effectively or does not produce enough insulin and usually happens in adults over the age of forty but is becoming more common for younger age groups.…
The oppnents against the Honolulu rail project object their observations to the Honolulu city in council member of transportation by using letters,public speeches, and interviews. Anti-rail citizen of Hawaii believes the cost of rail will be a burned to our nation. The articles and public speeches announce by the citizens of Hawaii that the rail will not decrease traffic congestion, taxes will increase, and the project will affect small businesses as well as culture displays. Opponents against the rail project say the best obsevation is to improve the bus system verses constructing a transit system. The ariticles and speeches of voters convience the city in council members of traspertaion to improve bus lines. Bus Lines will satisfy the citizens of oahu. Therefore constructing newer bus lines will be less expensive to build for our city. The beliefs of anit-rail voters also believe the bus lines will not affect culure displasys, and won't drive away small busineses.Discussion on the debates about the Honolulu rail project still concerns citizens today. Will Hawaii suffer the consequences from building rail, or will rail improve Hawaii's future?…
What is diabetes? Well diabetes, is a sickness that many Australians today suffer. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. Type 1 Diabetes is when the pancreas stops producing insulin. Without this insulin, the cells in the body are incapable of turning glucose (also known as sugar) into energy, leading to remains of glucose in the bloodstream at high levels. The body recognises that there is a problem and tries to provide the cells with other sources of fuel, for example stored fats. Extensive fat burning can be released by a product called ketones, which is highly dangerous to the body if in high amounts. Some symptoms of Type 1 Diabetes include:…
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease that occurs when a body is unable to produce insulin, is unable to adequately use the insulin produced, or is unable to produce enough insulin for what the body needs, and therefore results in a body not being able to process sugars properly. There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is where the body does not produce any insulin and so the person is dependent on taking insulin shots to survive. Type 2 is where the body can produce insulin but may not be able to produce enough to meet the needs of the body or the body is not properly using the insulin so the person has high blood sugars. Living a healthy lifestyle can decrease your chance at getting Type 2 diabetes (Milchovich, S. K., & Dunn-Long,…
In the following individual assignment of the cultural and disease paper I have selected to write about diabetes. I have always been interested about the disease; I have known that there are three different types or levels to this disease, type one type two and type three. The information that I have learned about the cause of diabetes is when the pancreas, a gland behind the stomach does not produce any or not enough of the hormone called insulin. In this paper I will describe the vital role of insulin; I will discuss the disease called diabetes along with explaining the modes for the disease, and describe environmental factors that will make the population vulnerable to the disease. I will explain the social/cultural roles influences play in the disease; along with information dealing with treatment and prevention centers and wellness strategies.…
There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 and type 2. Type 1, is an immune system disorder. In type 1 diabetes, the patient’s own immune system stops the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, destroying the ability to manufacture insulin. People…
The title of the book I read was Coming Back Stronger. It is the ultimate comeback story, not only of one of the NFL’s top quarterbacks, but also of a city and a team that many had all but given up on. When a potentially career-ending shoulder injury left quarterback Drew Brees without a team, coaches around the NFL wondered, Will he ever come back? After Hurricane Katrina devastated New Orleans, leaving more than eighty percent of the city underwater, many wondered, Will the city ever come back? And with their stadium transformed into a makeshift refugee camp, forcing the Saints to play their entire 2005 season on the road, people questioned, Will the Saints ever come back? It takes a special person, like Drew Brees, to turn adversity into success and despair into hope and with the weight of an entire city on his shoulders. Brees’ inspiring message of hope and encouragement proves that with enough faith, determination, and heart, you can overcome any obstacle life throws your way and not only come back, but come back stronger.…
Talking about diabetes in one thing. Talking about diabetes while it waits your doorstep is a whole other story. I live with a high risk of diabetes. Countless members of my family have been diagnosed with this disease and some have passed away because of it. Diabetes runs through both sides of my family. My paternal grandmother, my maternal grandfather, my maternal grandfather’s brothers, and my maternal grandmother’s older sister all suffer from the same disease. For all of them, the daily routine never changed. They all swallowed pill after pill and conducted blood test after blood test. To this day, I still remember watching them swallow pills the size of almonds and cringing whenever they pricked themselves to conduct a blood test. I…
Usually the diabetic doesn’t get any symptoms and most of the signs are thought of as things people get when they are older. But if you do get any symptoms or signs they could be:…
Type one diabetes is a life threatening disease with no cure known, but only treatment to help maintain a normal life. The exact origin of type one diabetes is not known and no known way to prevent the disease from occurring. Many signs are known to help catch the diabetes early on before it becomes life threatening. Some common symptoms are constant hunger, weight loss, increased thirst, and urinating frequently. Type two diabetes is also a life threatening disease but does not require as much attention as type one diabetes. The main cause is obesity and lack of exercise, which is the cause for the low supply of insulin in the body. Type two diabetes can be reversible with a balanced diet and exercise because type two is most commonly brought on from obesity at a more mature age. Most times the treatment can be just a healthy, planned diet, but some worse cases may have to inject insulin in their body frequently.…
Type 2 Diabetes occurs when the body fails to produce enough insulin, or unable to utilize insulin properly. It is often associated with adults over the age of 40, overweight and a family history of diabetes, but it is currently occurring among younger people.…

In March of 2003, a bill known as the "Minority Population Diabetes Prevention and Control Act of 2003" was introduced to Congress, and then referred to the Committee on Energy and Commerce. According to this bill's findings, "minority populations, including African Americans, Hispanics, Native Americans, and Asians, have the highest incidence of diabetes and the highest complications of the disease" (1). The alarming rate at which the incidence of diabetes is affecting African American and Hispanic American communities has led the government, health care professionals, clinics, and other organizations to begin to question the process by which information and treatment is being accessed by members of these communities.…
