Teaching patients about gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) before and during pregnancies are both very important. It would be great if all patients could be informed about GDM before they become pregnant so they could get a healthy start to their pregnancy and possibly prevent GDM from occurring. It is also important for patients to know how to live a healthy lifestyle before and during pregnancy. The nurse may be the first to provide information to their patients and can play a key role in…

Summary of visit: I arrived at patients home they were sitting outside waiting for me. She had company so I asked her if she wanted me to go at a different time she stated she was okay with me staying. I sat down and I asked her how she was doing she responded that besides her prior complaint she wanted to discuss her inability to sleep at night. She went on to describe her signs and symptoms. Her brother then approached me and he wanted to discuss diabetes management. We spoke about nutrition…

2.3. Pharmacokinetics of (S)-ketoprofen 2.3.1. Blood sampling On the day of the study, rats were cannulated approximately 30 min before uric acid injection and 3 h before the drugs were administered. The animals were anesthetized and the caudal artery was cannulated with a PE-10 cannula (Clay Adams, Parsippany, NJ, USA) connected to a PE-50 cannula. The cannula was kept patent with heparinized saline solution and stopped with a needle. Rats were allowed to recover from anesthesia and…

Type II diabetes is a disorder involving the body’s abnormal utilization of insulin that results in an elevated blood glucose level. Margaret Powers writes about the disease process of Type II diabetes in the American Dietetic Association guide. According to Powers (2003), insulin comes from the pancreas and is responsible for converting sugar, starches, and other types of food into energy. When food is ingested, it is digested or turns into glucose in blood. The glucose that comes from the…

Diabetes is a group of diseases that are caused by a problem with the hormone insulin. The pancreas, found behind the stomach would normally release insulin to help regulate the blood sugar in your body from the foods you eat. Diabetes can occur when the pancreas produces very little to no insulin. Also, diabetes can be when the body does not respond to insulin called insulin resistance. A form of diabetes can happen during pregnancy and even pre diabetes can occur in the body. There is a…

Alpha-1 Antitrypsin is a single-chain glycoprotein, composed of 394 amino acids, weighing 52kDa with 3 sidechains of carbohydrates, with a half-life of 4-5 days. It is a protease inhibitor, one of the key members of the serpin superfamily. Production takes place in the liver, it is then transferred to the lungs via the bloodstream. The protein is vital for protection of the lung from common infections, chemicals, and harmful irritants, such as vapours, gases and tobacco smoke. Production of…

Few decades back, people did not have pediatric endocrinologists. Pediatric endocrine disorders were known to be adult endocrinologists. In the present day endocrinologists, however, have focused on individualizing treatment for diabetic patients based on age, physical activity, meal timing, and daily schedule of the patient. Regimens and therapy by various physicians for diabetes management also differs from one another. Two classes of insulin are available for use in T1DM viz. bolus/prandial…

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels, decreased insulin production, and/or insulin resistance. Insulin is important in permitting glucose to be absorbed by the cells of the body from the blood stream. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, both of which involve deficient transporting abilities of glucose into cells, but via differing mechanisms. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insulin deficiency. It is an autoimmune disease that leads…

Diabetes Mellitus occurs when the body cannot produce sufficient insulin or cannot respond properly to insulin. Insulin is a hormone that the body needs to absorb and use glucose (sugar) as fuel for the body’s cells. Without an appropriately operational insulin signaling system, blood glucose levels become higher and other metabolic irregularities occur, leading to the development of serious, disabling complications. The target population for this poster and conversation include women older than…

Blood glucose concentration controlled by two main hormones those are glucagon and insulin. Insulin: Insulin secreted by beta cells of pancreas. Those reducing the glucose level in blood, insulin hormone deposit glucose in liver, muscles and adipose tissue. Secretion makes hypoglycemia. Lack of insulin leads to diabetic mellitus. Treatment by insulin injection or tablets. Leads to may complications. Ex: eye- glucoma Peripheral neuropathy. Myocardial infection. Recurrent…
