Diabetes is a generic term used when a person’s blood sugar is above normal levels. This raise in blood sugar is caused either by the pancreas not providing enough insulin or due to the cells not responding to the insulin produced. (called insulin resistance). Tip - Exercising improves insulin sensitivity and reduces resistance. About 3.8 million people in the UK have diabetes‚ but the charity Diabetes U.K. have made predictions that that could become high as 6.2 million by 2035/2036. These figures

Diabetes Diabetes is chronic health condition that causes high blood sugar level and other negative health effects. The condition occur when the body cells do not respond properly to insulin or when insulin production is inadequate. It is important to note that insulin is an enzyme that regulates the level of blood sugar in an individual’s body. There are two types of diabetes depending on the source of insulin deficiency. Type 1 diabetes occurs when the immune system attacks and destroys the cells

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

It is a male wild type that performed with more than 75% accuracy with fewer than 10% omissions. The second rat was run on baseline schedule today and it performed exceptionally well with 88% accuracy and 8% omission. - The 2 rats running

Being able to control and maintain appropriate amounts of glucose in the bloodstream is vital to the functioning of many systems within the body. Without adequate amounts of glucose‚ skeletal muscles cannot function properly‚ vision becomes disturbed‚ headaches and moodiness can occur‚ and the brain has a difficult time functioning properly. On the other hand‚ excessive amounts of glucose within the bloodstream can cause nerve damage‚ blindness‚ cardiovascular issues in the lower extremities‚ and

Diabetic ketoacidosis is an acute complication of diabetes that often occurs as a result of insulin deficiency in a person. Acute insulin deficiency in type I in diabetes mellitus‚ uncontrolled type I diabetes‚ medications such and corticosteroids‚ and a person’s poor compliance with their insulin injections or insulin pump failure are some of the causes of DKA. Diabetic ketoacidosis‚ most often occurs in those with type I diabetes‚ and is associated with hyperglycemia‚ ketosis‚ and metabolic acidosis

Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes. In type 2 diabetes‚ either the pancreas does not make enough insulin (insulin is a hormone that helps glucose to enter cells) or muscle cells are unable to use insulin properly. As the result‚ a diabetic patient has very high blood sugar levels. When the sugar or glucose level is over 600 mg/dl‚ it’s dangerous to the diabetic’s health. Untreated diabetes affects the eyes‚ nerves‚ kidney‚ heart and blood vessels. Type 2 Diabetes is usually controlled

TYPE 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes develops because the body’s immune system destroys beta cells in a part of the pancreas called the islet tissue. These beta cells produce insulin. So people with Type 1 diabetes can’t make their own insulin. Type 1 diabetes is what is known as a ’complex trait’‚ which means that mutations in several genes likely contribute to the disease. For example‚ it is now known that the insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (AiM1) locus on chromosome 6 may harbor at least one susceptibility
