Of all the diabetes, type 2 is the most common, accounting for 90 to 95% of all cases of diabetes. There is insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas. The disease process associated with type 2 diabetes include insulin resistance, where the fat, muscle, and liver cells do not use insulin to carry glucose into the body’s cells to use for energy. As a result, the body requires more insulin to help glucose move in the cells. At first, the pancreas is able to keep up with the added demand…

Type 1 diabetes (TD1), also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little to no insulin. Type 1 differs from type 2 by which the pancreas in type 2 produces insulin, but the body resists its effects. Insulin is an important hormone needed to allow sugar to enter cells to produce energy. Type 1 diabetes occurs by autoimmune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas, and genome-wide association studies…

We are Washington State University of Nursing students studying childhood type one diabetes in the Yakima community. Our hope is to make a positive impact on the pediatric type one diabetic population in Yakima Washington, by addressing unmet needs of this population. In 2015, it was estimated that the total annual medical expenditures for a diabetic was $13,700 per year, 7,900 of which was directly attributed to diabetes. During our research we found that Yakima is lacking a pediatric…

population. There is Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes, type one typically comes on suddenly will type two may be gradual. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an autoimmune destruction of pancreatic beta cells, leading to a deficiency in the production of insulin. With insulin being a hormone responsible for the lowering of blood glucose levels. Type 2 diabetes is caused by the body being resistant to insulin, and therefore being unable to autonomously lower blood glucose. Additionally, Type 1 diabetes mostly…

That is a giant increase in the amount of children with Type 2 diabetes. The difference between Type 1 and 2 diabetes is that Type 1 diabetes is caused by genetics, so there isn’t anything they can do about it. While Type 2 diabetes is caused from someone becoming obese which can then cause insulin resistance which is Type 2 diabetes. Due to this increased amount of children diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes the amount of money spent on treating diabetes has also skyrocketed. Just…

insulin properly. Due to the fact that diabetes is a growing concern, social workers need to know the effects and consequences of the diagnosis. Learning about diabetes is important in all stages of life. A person can get type 1 diabetes at a young age or can be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes as they…

pancreatic adenocarcinoma. As routine diagnostic imaging becomes more prevalent, some patients present asymptomatically with an incidental finding on cross sectional imaging. Most patients present with metastatic (60%) or locally advanced disease (21%) (3). As mentioned before, pNETs are functional 10% of the time. The presenting symptoms of functional tumors depend on the particular hormone that is being overproduced. The most common…

body that disabled the production of insulin – a hormone produced by pancreas, allowing your body to use or store energy for future consumption. The highest case of diabetes as of state basis is in West Virginia with 15% of its population has type 1 diabetes. For all of us who didn’t know, diabetes is standing at 7th place as one of the primary cause of death (aside from cancer) in the United States and can cost billions of dollars for medical treatment each year. There a lot of food…

The scenario that has been chosen here is scenario 1, Anne Baptiste with type 2 diabetes. For type 2 diabetes the pancreas produces insulin, but the body’s insulin receptors cannot respond accordingly, therefore blood glucose levels remain high after food as glucose in unable to enter most tissue cells. The signs and symptoms that people with type 2 diabetes could experience could include yeast infections, lower extremity paresthesias, polyuria, polydipsia, polyphagia, blurred vision, fatigue,…

Peripheral Vascular Disease (PVD) is a condition of the blood vessels that supply the legs and feet. It leads to narrowing and hardening of the arteries. This causes decreased blood flow, which can injure nerves and other tissues. Diabetes is a leading cause of PVD, as well as other factors such as smoking, high cholesterol, hypertension, and diet and weight. Too much glucose in your blood from diabetes can cause nerve damage and poor blood flow, which can lead to serious foot problems. Nerve…
