Diabetes can be the result of many things from unlucky genetics to an unhealthy lifestyle. Diabetes is a serious‚ life-long illness ultimately caused by high levels of glucose in the blood. The condition makes it so that the pancreas cannot produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that controls the blood’s glucose level. Glucose is significant since it is “the main source of fuel” for the body (Wilson‚ 2013). The American Diabetes Association found that in 2011 in the United States‚ 25.8 million children and

increased levels of other hormones. This affects how the body makes insulin during pregnancy; these hormones also increase blood glucose levels which causes gestational diabetes. Many patients of this type of diabetes can control and prevent it with proper exercise and diet. However‚ some of them would need to take medication that controls blood glucose. Type 1 Diabetes: This type of diabetes occurs when the body fails to produce insulin. This is usually genetic and can be found in much younger people

carb counting‚ is a meal planning tool for people with type 1 or type 2 diabetes. Carbohydrate counting involves keeping track of the amount of carbohydrate in the foods you eat each day. Why count carbohydrates? • To follow a meal plan. • To use in insulin-to-carb meal ratio. • Portion control and body weight control. What Are Carbohydrates? Carbohydrates are one of the main nutrients found in food and drinks. Protein and fat are the other main nutrients. Carbohydrates include sugars‚ starches‚ and

the ability to maintain a constant supply of glucose‚ organs‚ which include the brain‚ become deprived. The regulator of the amount of glucose in the blood is the hormone insulin. People with diabetes have to externally monitor the amount of glucose in their blood‚ and must daily regulate it by injecting themselves with insulin. There are two types of diabetes‚ one that starts when people are young and the other that starts when people are older‚ usually over 40. One in ten people will develop this

Math Skills and its importance to Diabetes Numbers play a part in our everyday lives and diabetics are no exception. With diabetes people are need to count carbohydrates and calories‚ adjust insulin doses‚ and track blood glucose readings. An example of math and diabetes is a person may need 20 grams of carbohydrate and that person has crackers which contain 2 grams of carbohydrate how many do they need to get the necessary carbohydrates. Without the skills of math‚ the task of managing diabetes

cells via insulin-independent facilitated diffusion. Through rapid glycolysis‚ intracellular glucose is immediately phosphorylated and therefore‚ cannot diffuse out (the transport protein is specific for glucose). Internal glucose (unphosphorylated) concentration remains low providing a large concentration gradient for entry into the cell. Aerobic metabolism leads to increased ATP/ADP ratios and ATP sensitive K+ channels close. Depolarization activates voltage gated Ca2+ channels and insulin exocytosis

disease occurring due to diabetes‚ primarily type 2 diabetes is called Non-Alcoholic Fatty Liver Disease (NAFLD). Type 2 diabetes is metabolic condition causing elevated blood glucose levels due to either the lack of production of insulin or the body’s inability to utilize insulin efficiently (PubMed‚ n.d). NAFLD or commonly called fatty liver‚ occurs due to impairment of the liver cells to effectively metabolize glucose thereby leading to an accumulation of fat in the liver (Blenda‚ Thompson & Malkani
