Diabetes Diabetes is a genetic disease. There are two types of Diabetes, Type 1 which is were your pancreas does not produce insulin this is also known as “Juvenile diabetes” because it is often diagnosed in children and teens. There is also Type 2 diabetes; this occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or when the cells are unable to use insulin properly. Diabetes is common genetic disease and affects many people. The number of people affected by diabetes is 21.9 million people,…

Glomerulonephritis is the inflammation of the tiny small blood vessels within the kidneys that acts as filter called glomeruli. The disease damages the kidneys' ability to remove waste and excess fluids from the body. Glomerulonephritis can be acute - sudden attack of inflammation, or chronic- long-term and coming on gradually. In the past, chronic glomerulonephritis was the common cause of chronic renal failure but as of today, diabetes mellitus and hypertension are the main causes of ESRD,…

status. Her physician had explained the possible risk of going into a pregnancy overweight and the possibility of having gestational diabetes. When she was screened at 24 weeks of conception for gestational diabetes the results of her oral glucose tolerance test was as follow: Fasting: ≥ 103mg/dL 1hour: ≥ 204mg/dL 2hour: ≥ 172mg/dL Damaris was told the gestational diabetes can be controlled with diet and exercise and was referred to a dietician in the hospital for a consult. She was advised…

For many years, humans suffered from a variety of diseases such as HIV and different types of Cancer. But unfortunately, only for some a cure has been discovered. Diabetes, where a human body cannot produce insulin, is one of the examples of dangerous diseases, if not treated carefully. A pure cure for Diabetes has not been discovered yet, but there is a diverse variety of medication available such as the insulin pump. The insulin pump is a combination of an engineering and a medical product and…

What happens when you eat sugar? Eating carbs causes the pancreas to release the hormone insulin to reduce the blood sugar spike. Insulin regulates the level of sugar in the blood - the more sugar in the bloodstream, the more insulin is released. Insulin then goes on to ‘store’ glucose in the liver and muscles in the form of glycogen. If too much insulin is released, your blood sugar will to drop too low causing low-blood sugar. This causes you to crave sugar and the vicious cycle continues.…

Discussion Group 1 who ingested 300ml water and 50g of glucose refer to figure 2 showed an increase in blood sugar levels that stayed above baseline for 80minutes. The results didn’t show what was expected as since it was a foodstuff that only contained carbohydrate. It also had a high GI and therefore was expected to raise blood glucose levels more quickly than those that also contain fats and protein. Also liquids that contain carbohydrates will cause blood glucose levels to rise faster than…

Sugar level management Every diabetic impact result from the abnormal amounts of blood glucose. Thanks to technology and health care provider Hollywood there are several devices that can be used to monitor one’s blood glucose levels when needed. Checking one's blood sugar levels can be very beneficial; one can become more acquainted with how the body reacts to an activity program, different types of food, one's eating schedule, and medications. This information can be shared with one's doctor…

As discussed in goal two, Cyclocross utilizes all of the body’s energy systems including the ATP-PC, glycolytic, and oxidative systems. A majority of the power output in Cyclocross is generated from glycolysis. This includes both anaerobic and aerobic glycolysis where glucose is converted to ATP for the body’s energy needs. Figure three shows how efforts ranging from thirty to ninety percent of a riders max power will utilize the glycolytic energy system. The glycolytic system is dependent…

Diabetes is a very complex disorder and there are a number of different factors that cause it. People that have diabetes have high levels of glucose which is also known as high blood sugar (Shuldiner 2014). The body naturally breaks down carbohydrates into glucose in which the body produces insulin to us the glucose as energy. Diabetes develops when the body does not make enough insulin or does not use the insulin produced effectively (Shuldiner 2014). Recent studies have found that diabetes has…

Mcardle’s Disease is a type of glycogen storage disease (also known as glycogenosis or dextrinosis). Glycogen storage disease is the consequence of the deformity of the human body to synthesize glycogen in the liver, or to break glycogen down within the liver and muscles. There are two main types of glycogen storage disease one is genetic GSD (or congenital metabolic disease), which is caused by the defect of genes that do not code the enzymes needed for the synthesis or the conversion of the…
