Diabetes mellitus type 1

diarrhea, and deep vein thrombosis (DVT). Together these symptoms are sometimes referred to as the 4D syndrome (dermatitis, diabetes, diarrhea, DVT) (8,11). VIPomas secrete vasoactive intestinal polypeptide and result in symptoms of large volume watery diarrhea and hypokalemia. Somatostatinomas comprise less than 5% of pNETs. They secrete somatostatin and can cause diabetes mellitus, gallbladder disease, diarrhea/steatorrhea, anemia, and weight loss. Somatostatinomas have the subtlest syndrome…

1. What are proinsulin and insulin? How different is proinsulin from insulin? A: Insulin is a polypeptide hormone, protein, that is produced by the beta-cells of the pancreas. Proinsulin is a single peptide chain that is a precursor to insulin. It is produced by the beta-cells of the pancreas as well. The structure of proinsulin differs from insulin in that it contains a C-chain that forms a single peptide chain with other chains A and B. Insulin does not contain the C-chain and the A and B…

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,…

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 damage can cause you to lose feeling in your feet. Therefore,…

Diabetes is a condition caused by too much of glucose in the blood. In this condition, either body does not produce insulin or cells do not respond properly to the insulin that produced by the pancreas. Nearly 347 million people worldwide have diabetes, and the number is still growing. Studies proved that people with insufficient blood glucose control seem to develop oral disease more often than people who have good control over their diabetes. Uncontrolled diabetes can put a person under a…

the topic selected the following research questions and hypotheses have been derived. 1. Is structured teaching effective on improving the competency level of self-insulin injection among DM2Type 2 diabetes patients, based on their knowledge and skill? H_0 1: The structured teaching is effective on improving the competency level of self-insulin injection among DM2 patients based on their knowledge and skill. H_1 1: The structured teaching is not effective on improving the competency…

The pamphlet is discussing Type II diabetes and its complications. Type II diabetes is when the body does not use insulin properly and affects the way the body processes blood sugar. Diabetes is when the blood glucose levels are higher than normal. The blood glucose is the sugar that the body makes from the food in the diet. When there is a large amount of sugar in the blood, it is known as hyperglycemia. There are several complications that come with type II diabetes. One of the…

Hypoglycemia is a condition of low blood glucose level. This can happen even when you are doing all you can to manage your diabetes well. It is important to be familiar with the signs of hypoglycemia to be able to prevent it and know what to do when it occurs. Left untreated, hypoglycemia can cause you to pass out and require emergency treatment to restore blood glucose to normal levels. What are the signs of hypoglycemia? Symptoms of hypoglycemia include shakiness, sweating, dizziness, hunger,…

prohormones allows expansion of hypertrophy and muscle strength. Many companies are now competing for producing prohormones for this very purpose. Even the side effects for both prohormones as well as anabolic steroids are the same and depend upon the type of user. Some of the side effect is breast enlargement tissues, acne, hair loss…

disease is subdivided into 4 related types. • In types A and B, there is not enough activity of an enzyme called sphingomyelinase. This causes the build up of toxic amounts of sphingomyelin. That is a fatty substance present in every cell of the body. • Type A, Infantile NP is the most common type. It happens in infants and it causes jaundice, enlargement of the liver and profound brain damage. Children with this type rarely live beyond 18 months. • Type B, Juvenile Non-neuronopathic NP,…
