Type 2 Diabetes Research Paper
Ever wondered about Diabetes? You may never have known that it is one of the most commonly misunderstood diseases in our world today. One of the reasons for this is because a lot of people think that Diabetes is affected by sugar intake. Well that is definitely wrong because Diabetes is all about the control and regulation of Insulin; a growth hormone produced in the pancreas. Insulin’s primary role is to control the level of blood glucose or blood sugar in the body in order to keep it from getting too high. The result of high blood glucose levels is Diabetes. Insulin metabolism becomes disordered, meaning its functions are altered in a certain way that the insulin cannot control the blood glucose concentrations. Diabetes is a group of metabolic

Severe complications can occur from this in both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes. These issues can lead to both prolonged and severe complications. In Type 1, glucose is not able to enter the cells and a series of acute complications can occur; including hunger, weight loss, excessive eating, and a diabetic coma which can be fatal. In Type 2 some glucose enters the cells, but at a very slow rate. Weight gain can occur in this instance because there is glucose being supplied to the cells, but just not fast enough for it to be processed in energy …show more content…
Well, this is dead wrong. This is only true in patients who are suffering from Type 1 Diabetes. In Type 1, patients need to have an insulin injection every day because the beta cells of the pancreas (which are directly involved in the production of insulin), have been destroyed by the immune system. However, if a person has been diagnosed with Type 2 Diabetes, they will sometimes need an insulin injection. An insulin injection is unnecessary because there is already insulin present in the body, and it is being actively produced. But there is not enough insulin to lower blood glucose levels. The pancreas can usually compensate for this by making larger amount of insulin, but eventually the insulin-producing cells will start to wear out and that is when an insulin injection is needed.
