Homeostasis is your body’s ability to maintain an internal environment that is constant, no matter what is happening outside of it. The body has a lot of responsibility, like blood pressure, temperature, and things like glucose levels even. Blood pressure can be regulated through homeostasis (Thibodeau, 2008). Homeostasis hinders organs from exerting so much, thereby preventing disturbance to metabolism and other physiological conditions of the body. So, when the body’s blood pressure is high, or even low,…
Homeostasis is the need for an organism or a cell to regulate its internal environment (conditions within the fluid surrounding its body cells) by a system of feedback controls to stabilise health and functioning despite the outside changing conditions. This is important as this is what maintains and helps internal conditions (body temperature) to remain stable and constant.…

Diabetes - Diabetes is a condition where the amount of glucose in your blood is too high because the body cannot use it properly. This is because your pancreas does not produce any insulin, or not enough, to help glucose enter your body’s cells – or the insulin that is produced does not work properly.…

If left untreated, over time, high blood glucose levels damages the kidneys’ filtering system and causing kidney failure requiring dialysis or kidney transplant. The main complication is cardiovascular problems, including coronary artery disease with angina, heart attack, stroke, narrowing of arteries (atherosclerosis) and high blood pressure. According to the American Heart Association the risk of stroke is two to four times higher for people with diabetes, and the death rate from heart disease is two to four times higher for people with diabetes than for people without the disease. Other complications if left untreated are chronic renal disease, osteoporosis, eye damage and hearing…
Other homeostatic imbalance health problems like dehydration, hypertension, diabetes, hypoglycemia, hyperglycemia, can arise. Homeostasis is extremely important for proper functioning of all the human body systems. When our body is not able to regulate temperature all our body functions will fail to work. Even the enzymes need a specific constant temperature to work at their optimum level. At higher temperatures the enzymes will stop working. Eventually, it can cause death. Proper exercise, a well-balanced diet, and adequate rest can…
"People with diabetes have high blood sugar because their body cannot move sugar... to be stored for energy. This is because their pancreas does not make enough insulin or/and their cells do not respond to insulin normally." [4] Diabetes can cause several symptoms like, blurry vision, excess thirst, fatigue, hunger, frequent urination, weight loss, and eye problems. Diabetes can affect the circulatory system, the kidneys, the feet, the nerves, and the reproductive system. There is a increased chance of heart attacks and strokes due to the thickening of blood vessel.…

Diabetes, a metabolic disorder, consists of high plasma glucose concentrations (PGC) and abnormal insulin activity in the body. This is caused by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. A person with Type II Diabetes is often asymptomatic but can sometimes show signs and symptoms of polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia and…
Type 2 Diabetes- The body does not use insulin properly. This is called insulin resistance. At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, over time it isn't able to keep up and can't make enough insulin to keep your blood…
When a person suffering from diabetes blood sugar levels in the blood shoots his height. Our body of the pancreas produces insulin, a hormone that allows glucose to pause to absorb the body's cells, and in the process that pulls the body. If insulin is not produced enough by the deterioration of pancreatic beta cells, glucose or sugar that is taken can not be reduced, leading to a buildup of glucose in the blood. The disease is referred to as diabetes or> Diabetes mellitus. These are mainly three types: type 1 is caused by insufficient production of insulin, Type 2 is caused due to cell grows inert or non-response to insulin and the third type, gestational diabetes women of attacks during pregnancy .…

2 years ago when I was 10 years old, I had lost ten pounds in only 2 weeks. I was exhausted, drained of all energy, sometimes I couldn't eat it made me so nauseous but sometimes I couldn't get enough food in me, I was always thirsty and I always craved sugar. After a week of this I was rushed to the hospital after I saw the doctor. While I was in the hospital I wasn't allowed to eat for 24 hours, I was starving. On the second day in the hospital I left the intensive care unit and went home, but for the next 2 weeks I had to go back to the hospital for training every other day. Now I have to test my blood glucose by pricking my finger to get some blood and than I insert it into a small machine 5-10 times a day and inject myself…
