Type 2 diabetes is an issue in the body that causes glucose levels in one’s blood to rise higher than regular. It is also known as hyperglycemia and is the most common form of diabetes. Having type 2 diabetes means that the body does not use insulin properly, commonly known as insulin resistance. In the beginning the pancreas creates extra insulin to make up for it, although it is not enough to keep the sugar at normal levels (“Type 2” 1). High blood sugar can cause many issues over time.

Decreased LOC occurs when the heart can’t overcome the pressure in the brain to deliver blood and oxygen to the cerebral tissues. In a healthy individual, blood, oxygen, and nutrients such as glucose are brought to the brain through both the vertebral arteries and the internal carotid arteries, which branch off from the aorta. The brain requires about 20% of the body’s cardiac output. The internal carotid arteries branch off into the anterior and middle cerebral arteries, which form the anterior…
