Diabetes Mellitus
Normal insulin response
Eat food -> pancreas stimulated -> beta cells release insulin -> sugar break down -> glucose moves to liver -> stored as glycogen
Insulin dependent and noninsulin dependent
Type 1 Diab
• Usually genetic
• Can be triggered by exposure to toxin or autoimmune response

• Initial Sx: hyperglycemia, increased thirst or hunger, increase urination, weight loss, fatigue, eventual ketoacidosis
• All due to insufficient insulin
• Tx: insulin injection, diet and exercise
Type 2 Diab
• Developed, not genetic
• Initially insulin resistant; too much sugar in system over time, sugar start to ignore insulin
• Cannot use the insulin they create
• Feedback loop is down regulated leading to decreased insulin production and becomes like type 1 diabetes
