Type 2 Diabetes Speech: What is type 2 diabetes? Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin‚ this means that the person is therefore resistant to insulin or their body does not know how to react to it. The function of insulin for those who don’t know is to control blood glucose levels. Symptoms of type 2 diabetes include: Hunger Thirst Loss of eyesight Extreme fatigue Headaches Urination frequently Weight loss (even though you are feeling hungry and

have had an amputation or lost their vision shortly after starting on insulin; they believe that the addition of insulin caused the diabetes related complication. Despite‚ providing education and counseling to help patients understand that the addition of insulin can actually help achieve glycemic targets and thereby decrease the odds of developing complications‚ many patients struggle to accept or welcome the addition of insulin to their treatment regimen. As Arkes and Gaissmaier (2012) point out

“Diabetes mellitus (DM) is an endocrine disorder characterized by the lack or insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas.” A little easier to understand might be the definition from “Merriam-Webster” (aka Webster’s dictionary) which defines diabetes as “a serious disease in which the body cannot properly control the amount of sugar in your blood because it does not have enough insulin.” Transition: Now that we know what diabetes is‚ let’s find out some signs to look out for.

Diabetes is a disease in which the ability of the body to respond or produce the hormone insulin is impaired that leads to abnormal metabolism of carbohydrates and increase level of glucose in blood and urine. The most common types of diabetes are type 1‚ type 2 and gestational diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused when the immune system of the body attacks and destroys its own insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. It accounts for 5 to 10 percent of all diagnosed cases of diabetes. It typically

Diabetes mellitus can be classified as a group of diseases which are characterised by impaired glucose homeostasis resulting from a relative or absolute insufficiency of insulin (Underwood and Cross 2009). Insulin deficiency causes high blood sugars (hyperglycaemia) and the production glycosuria (Levene 2003). Insulin is produce by the pancreas which is fundamental to regulating carbohydrate and fat metabolism in the body (Sudesh and O’Rahilly 2005). More specifically it is produced from Beta

releases another hormone which is insulin. Insulin does the opposite of glucagon; it stimulates the cells to remove glucose from the blood. Diabetes is when the body has excess amount of glucose in the blood stream due to the pancreas not secreting enough or no insulin. This causes a positive feedback in increasing the glucose levels which can be fatal if not treated. Insulin is a hormone in which is released in the body to regulate the level of glucose in the blood. Insulin is prescribed to the patient

body is unable to produce sufficient insulin (needed by the body to convert glucose energy) leading to high blood glucose levels (Fusco‚ Gonzales‚ & Yeung‚ 2015). There are two types of diabetes‚ type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes (Westerberg‚ 2013). Type 1 diabetes is caused by the bodies inability to produce insulin as opposed to type 2 diabetes which is caused by inadequate insulin production or absorption (Fusco et al.‚ 2015). Type 1 diabetics require insulin replacement injections and type 2 diabetes

Egyptians in 1552 BC (Canadian Diabetes Association‚ 2005) as we know it. We‚ at the moment‚ understand it to be a disease created by the presence of insulin whether deficiency or resistance to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that is secreted from the pancreas and its purpose is to maintain the levels of glucose within the body (through usage). A lack of insulin would therefore generally result in the inability to absorb glucose hence‚ for example as a side-effect‚ sweet urine is produced. Throughout time
