2 diabetes mellitus is the result of the pancreas being unable to produce adequate amounts of insulin and the resistance of cells to insulin. This results in glucose remaining in the blood and not being taken up by the cells leading to hyperglycemia. Because of insulin’s role in the stimulation of the synthesis of protein and the storage of fatty acids in adipose tissue‚ inadequate amounts of insulin also reduces nutrients that are essential for fuel and storage being accessed by tissues.

The Endocrine System Controls many body functions ~exerts control by releasing special chemical substances into the blood called hormones ~Hormones affect other endocrine glands or body systems Derives its name from the fact that various glands release hormones directly into the blood‚ which in turn transports the hormones to target tissues via ducts. Exocrine glands-transport their hormones to target tissues via ducts. Endocrine glands- secrete hormones into the bloodstream The Endocrine

metabolic and genetic disorders that share one major characteristic “hyperglycemia”. From a medical perspective view it represents a series of metabolic conditions associated with hyperglycemia and caused by defects in insulin secretion‚ sometimes exacerbated by defects in insulin action. Exposure to chronic hyperglycemia may result in microvascular complications in the retina‚ kidney or peripheral nerves. (Egan & Dineen‚ 2014).
