Type 1 diabetes also referred to as T1DM is a form of diabetes that results from the autoimmune destruction of the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas. It is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. The body doesn’t produce insulin in type 1 diabetes and insulin is needed for the person affected to have energy needed for everyday life. The body has trouble breaking down sugar in the blood.…

In type 1 diabetes, there’s insufficient insulin to let glucose into the cells, so sugar builds up in your bloodstream. The condition is therefore stabilized by giving insulin into the bloodstream. When the insulin levels are low, the liver converts stored glycogen into glucose.…

This paper will discuss and inform readers on the disease diabetes. There are two types of diabetes that affect human beings, Diabetes Mellitus and Diabetes Insipidus, in this paper the term diabetes will refer to diabetes mellitus. It will touch down on what causes diabetes and the symptoms that those with diabetes possess. The two type of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 will be explained thoroughly and in detail. It will deliberate how the disease is treated and managed. As well as the risk factors that come with being a diabetic.…
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,…
Type II Diabetes is a rapidly growing disease in our country. Unfortunately, many of us know at least one person who battles through this metabolic disease. I chose the article titled The sugar disease-understanding type 2 diabetes mellitus written by Georgina Casey to review and learn from. This article was found in the Continuing Professional Development +Nurses Journal published in March 2011. My grandmother has battled with this disease for many years and it has slowly progressed to cause multiple health complications. She continues to battle this disease both physically and financially. With an extensive family history and seeing the effects it can have on a person, I found it important to educate myself and learn more about this disease.…
According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report for 2014 published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 21 million Americans of all ages have been diagnosed with diabetes as of 2012. This number only includes those who have been diagnosed by a medical professional and from this population; almost 95% of diagnosed adults have Type II diabetes. The difference between Type I and Type II diabetes is that Type I often times affects children who’s cells fail to produce insulin, which is important in the regulation of blood glucose. With Type II diabetes patients are insulin resistance, meaning that the cells in the liver, muscle, and fat are unable to produce enough insulin to regulate blood glucose…
For the past twenty years, the number of diabetes cases has nearly doubled across the globe. In North America alone the cases have been increasing substantially each year. The Centers for Disease Control has term this rapid increase an epidemic in North America. With these alarming rates of increase the question should now be raised, is diabetes really a genetic disorder or could its causes lie in some sort of environmental factors, unhealthy diets, inactive lifestyles, air pollution, pesticides , or a combination of these?…
Diabetes is a disease where your body’s blood glucose level is increased. In adults twenty or older, one in every ten have diabetes. This startling fact could be caused from obesity. While…
