1. Introduction 22 Diabetes mellitus is the 7th leading cause of death in US. Diabetes is broadly classified into two 23 types: type I and type II. Type I diabetes is a result of insufficient insulin production by pancreas‚ 24 whereas type II diabetes is due to the body’s inability to use the insulin that is produced‚ hence the 25 name insulin resistance is used to refer to type II diabetes. Currently‚ individuals with diabetes are 26 able to monitor their blood glucose levels using a glucometer

Zachary’s Story Unit 6 Case Study 1 AP2630 Rhonda Carter July 27‚ 2015 A. An ulcer starts by eroding the mucosa of the G.I. tract wall. What functions of digestion and/or reabsorption might be lost if this layer is no longer functional? What functions will be compromised if the ulcer eats through the submucosa and then the muscularis? Absorption would not happen correctly some of the ingested and secreted may seep out of the lumen. This also could create a pathway of entry for pathogens

donz kay Lymphatic system: main function is to make immune cells which are the white blood cells and deliver them throughout the body. The lymphatic system also works with the circulatory system to deliver nutrients‚ oxygen‚ and hormones from the blood to the cells that make up the tissues of the body. Digestive system: function is to breakdown the food we eat into smaller particles and absorbing of nutrients into the blood stream‚ so that the body can use them for energy‚ Reproductive system:

However‚ its amount in the body has to be regulated and maintained in a very narrow range. This regulation of glucose is performed by insulin hormone. Insulin is secreted at the pancreas and hence is referred to as pancreatic endocrine hormones. Insulin is secreted by beta cells‚ which are normally located at the pancreas. When the amount of glucose in the blood increases‚ the stimulus for insulin secretion triggered. The insulin level secreted in the blood increases as the blood glucose rises. On

Last October had been one of the most eye opening moments for me. I had been diagnosed with a life altering disease‚ which is closely related to diabetes. I found out that my body creates over twice the amount of insulin I need‚ working my pancreas too hard creating an abundance of problems. I have had to learn so much‚ and change so many aspects of my life because of this disease and the problems it creates. A lot of things lead up to my diagnosis‚ but it wasn’t an easy road to take. At first I

and some vegetables that contain carbohydrate in the forms of starches and sugars. Diabetes is a health condition causing high glucose‚ also called sugar‚ content in the bloodstream because the pancreas no longer produces insulin or the cells of the body are no longer metabolizing the insulin the pancreas produces. So in this case homeostasis cannot occur. The primary symptoms of diabetes are increased thirst‚ frequent urination‚ and high levels of sugar in the blood or urine. Other symptoms
