where glucose cannot be taken into the muscle by insulin. Some symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst‚ decrease in energy‚ fatigue‚ slow healing wounds‚ blurred‚ vision‚ and frequent urination(ADA‚ 2006). The body feels weak because the glucose in the blood is not being transported to cells for energy use. In order to discover whether one has diabetes he or she must go through a test. Some of the most common tests for diagnosis are the FPG (fasting plasma glucose) test‚ Random plasma glucose

incubated in a salt solution with 2.8mM to 16.8 mM glucose and increasing levels of dulaglutide with or without exendin‚ a well characterized GLP-1 receptor agonist (Ding‚ et al.‚ 2006). Insulin was then measured over a 90-minute period. Insulin secretion was significantly increased with the inclusion of 20 nM dulaglutide at the high dose of glucose (16.8 mM)‚ and no significant increase in insulin secretion was observed in the low dose of glucose (2.8 mM). Unmodified GLP-1 caused a 4-fold increase

that affects 90% of the diabetes patients. It is when the body does not recognize the insulin being produced by the pancreas‚ or not enough is produced. Insulin is a hormone that causes different cells to take up glucose for energy. Resistance to insulin causes the build up of glucose in the blood‚ which causes improper functions of cells and blood circulation‚ damage to nerves and blood vessels. The prevalence of type II diabetes is highest in African Americans among ethnic and racial groups.

lead to death. As of today there is not a cure for T1D‚ but it can be treated. One’s primary care physician can make this diagnosis by administering a number of these tests‚ such as an A1C‚ a Fasting Plasma Glucose‚ an Oral Glucose Tolerance‚ and the Random Plasma Glucose test. All of these tests check glucose levels in the blood stream. Treatment for this metabolic disease is a lifelong commitment. Insulin therapy is the most commonly used treatment for T1D.
