glucose cannot leave the blood and be changed to energy. Glucose builds up in the blood to high levels‚ which is called hyperglycemia. Gestational diabetes usually starts halfway through the pregnancy. All pregnant women should receive an oral glucose tolerance test between the 24th and 28th week of pregnancy to screen for the condition. Women who have risk factors for gestational diabetes may have this test earlier in the pregnancy. The population that is more at risk are those over the age of 25‚ have

What is Type 1 Diabetes? This type of diabetes is where the pancreas‚ an organ in the human body‚ cannot produce insulin‚ a hormone. When insulin is not present‚ it is harder for the body to convert enough glucose to be used as energy. Lack of energy then makes it more difficult for the body to function fluidly and properly. Only about 5% of people with diabetes have Type 1‚ making it less common compared to the more prevalent Type 2 Diabetes. In addition‚ it is most often developed and diagnosed

The three methods used to diagnose DM are the fasting plasma glucose test‚ fasting blood glucose‚ and oral glucose tolerance test. 3.

Activity 1 Which rat had the fastest baseline metabolic rate? Normal Rat Why did the metabolic rates differ? The hypophysectomized rat lacked thyroid-stimulating hormone. The thyroidectomized rat lacked thyroxine hormone. Activity 2 What was the effect of thyroxine on the normal rat’s metabolic rate? How does it compare to the normal rat’s baseline metabolic rate? Thyroxine caused the metabolic rate to increase; it was faster. Why was this effect seen? Because it stimulates heart rate‚
