type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is caused by a situation where the immune system attacks and destroys pancreases beta cells that produce insulin. (Atkinson & Eisenbarth, 2001). Type 2 diabetes (the most common type) is caused by a number of factors ranging from genetic and lifestyle factors. Some of these include physical inactivity and obesity in which case the extra fat causes insulin resistance. Aside from that, genetic and family history can cause both type 1 and type 2 diabetes…

Trulicity in the management of type 2 DM. What does the evidence show and its place in therapy? Background In the United States, approximately 25.8 million people have diabetes. Of the 25.8 million people, about 5% to 10% have type 1 diabetes and 90% to 95% have type 2 diabetes (T2DM).1 The prevalence of diabetes is much higher in non-Hispanic white, American Indian and African American and lower in Hispanic and Asian.1 Majority of the worldwide diabetic patients are type 2 diabetes which…

carbohydrates, it converts into glucose. With the help of hormone insulin, glucose fuels the cells in human body. In diabetes, many reasons that the cell can’t take glucose. Later, accumulation of glucose in blood can occur. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form in adults. In Type 2 diabetes human body does not use insulin properly. Twenty six million of adults American have been diagnosed with this condition. High level of glucose may damage tiny blood vessels, kidneys, eyes, heart and…

good control of diabetes”( page 190 ). Exercise is essential for people with Diabetes to achieve better blood glucose control. Although regular exercise has a positive impact on both Type 1 and Type 2 Diabetes as it improves blood glucose balance, it appears to be more beneficial to the people with Type 2 Diabetes. Regular exercise helps to reduce weight and to minimise the risk of coronary heart disease. Regular exercise increases insulin sensitivity and also improves glucose tolerance.…

Type 2 diabetes results from the interaction between genetic predisposition, behavioural, and environmental risk factors. Although the genetic basis of type 2 diabetes is yet to be identified, there is strong evidence that modifiable risk factors such as low SES, obesity, and physical inactivity are the main non-genetic determinants…

There are two major types of diabetes. One is type 1 diabetes which is previously called insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile-onset diabetes, the other is type 2 diabetes which is previously called non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or maturity-onset diabetes. 1. Beginnings In 1552 B.C, Hesy-Ra who was an Egyptian physician documented frequently urination as a symptom of a mysterious disease that also caused weakness. Also around this time, ancient healers attented that ants…

Many people around the globe have been diagnosed with type 2 diabetes, the most common form of the diabetes disease. Diabetes occurs when blood glucose levels rise higher than the normal, better known as hyperglycemia. Another factor that triggers diabetes is the human body’s lack of production of insulin. Insulin keeps the blood glucose level in the body at a normal level, but without it, high levels of sugar in the blood begin to take place. While diabetes is one of the most common diseases in…

According to the WHO, Type 2 Diabetes Mellitus (T2DM) is the third leading cause of mortality globally and is the third leading cause of mortality globally and symbolize one of the greatest health challenges worldwide. The International Diabetes Federation estimated that there are 387 million people living with diabetes and it is also predicted that it will rise to 592 million by 2035 (Yates et al, 2016). Also the prevalence of type 2 diabetes mellitus continues to increase in the United States…

Afflicting nearly 30 million Americans, type 2 diabetes is characterized by blood glucose levels that are significantly above normal, indicating that not enough insulin is being produced or that the body is unable to process it. In essence, sugar builds up in the blood, which can lead to a number of serious complications, including heart disease, blindness, kidney failure and the need for lower-extremity amputation. As a team of physicians that specializes in cardiac testing, internal medicine…

Those affected by diabetes, such as type 2 diabetes face the challenges of not being motivated to change their diets or exercise, and not able to maintain healthy lifestyle choices (Critchley, C. R., Hardie, E. A., & Moore, S. M., 2012). Moreover than the physiological aspect, the psychological aspect for type 2 diabetes is more critical. Critchley, Hardie, and Moore suggests that psychological variables facilitate or motivate changes that affect life that can either be negative or positive. The…
