There has been evidence showing a predisposition of people having symptoms of metabolic syndrome such as 1) abdominal obesity‚ 2) elevated TG levels 3) low HDL cholesterol levels‚ 4) increased blood pressure‚ and 5) impaired fasting glucose‚ to having a greater risk for developing cardiovascular disease or type II diabetes. These symptoms are not necessarily manifestations of age‚ but develop over a predisposed background of unhealthy eating‚ physical inactivity and chronic stressful

Insulin degludec Insulin degludec is an ultra-long-acting modified human insulin in which the B30 amino acid is omitted and a glutamic acid spacer links a 16-carbon fatty di-acid chain to the B29 amino acid. Deguldec forms multihexamers following SQ injection‚ leading to a slow release of insulin monomers into the bloodstream and a prolonged duration of action. The half-life of degludec is about 25 hours and its duration of action more than 42 hours. Flat insulin levels are seen within 3 days of

"Diabetes mellitus is not a single disease but a group of disorders with glucose intolerance in common" (McCance 674). Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar) and results from defective insulin production‚ secretion‚ and utilization. There are many forms of diabetes. "Diabetes

Diabetes : Diabetes‚ often referred to as diabetes mellitus‚ describes a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has high blood glucose (blood sugar)‚ either because insulin production is inadequate‚ or because the body’s cells do not respond properly to insulin‚ or both1.

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders characterized by elevated levels of blood glucose (hyperglycemia) resulting from defects in insulin production and secretion‚ decreased cellular response to insulin‚ or both. This leads to hyperglycemia‚ which may lead to acute metabolic complications‚ such as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and hyperglycemic hyperosmolar nonketotic syndrome (HHNS). Longterm hyperglycemia may contribute to chronic microvascular complications (kidney and eye disease)

Summary 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
