Diabetes mellitus type 2

Although it is generally accepted that regular exercise provides substantial health benefits for individuals with type 2 diabetes, the exact exercise type (aerobic vs. resistance vs. both) has been unclear. “Given that the 2008 Federal Physical Activity Guidelines recommend aerobic exercise in combination with resistance training, the unanswered question as to whether for a given amount of time the combination of aerobic exercise and resistance training is better than either alone has…

There are two major types of diabetes. One is insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile-onset diabetes which is usually called type 1 diabetes and the other non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or maturity-onset diabetes which is usually called type 2 diabetes. 1. Beginnings In 1552 B.C, Hesy-Ra who was an Egyptian internal medicine doctor recorded frequently urination as a symptom of a incomprehensible disease that also caused weakness. Also around this time, ancient healers…

practical reasons; however, the monomer is a much faster-reacting drug because diffusion rate is inversely related to particle size. A fast-reacting drug means insulin injections do not have to precede mealtimes by hours, which in turn gives people with diabetes more flexibility in their daily schedules.[30] Insulin can aggregate and form fibrillar interdigitated beta-sheets. This can cause injection amyloidosis, and prevents the storage of insulin for long…

Diabetes Assignment Type II Diabetes according to Mayo clinic organization, “is a chronic condition that affects the way your body metabolizes sugar (glucose), your body's important source of fuel.” (By Mayo Clinic Staff Print) Type II diabetes is thought of as an Adult disease but as the rise in obesity among children grows exponentially so grows the risk of Type II diabetes in children. Controlling the disease with diet and exercise and retaining an ideal weight is first line of defense from…

(Rother KI 2007) . Type 2 daibetes is charactierized by insulin resistence , a condition in which cells fail to respond to insulien properly . The defect of body tissues to respond to insulin is believed to involve the insulin receptors but the specific defects are not known . Type 2 daibetes is the most common type of diabetes mellitus . ( Greenspans' basic &clinical endocrinology 9 th ed) . This form was previeously referred to as " non insulin –dependent diabetes mellitus" (NIDDM ) or…

ABSTRACT Diabetic retinopathy (DR) remains a major complication of diabetes and the leading cause of blindness among adults worldwide. DR is a progressive disease affecting both type I and type II diabetic patients at any stage of the disease, and targets the macrovascular and microvascular systems of the retina. DR results from multiple biochemical, molecular and pathophysiological changes to the retinal vasculature which affect both microcirculatory functions and ultimately photoreceptor…

1.1 Background The World Health Organization (WHO) defines Type 1 Diabetes mellitus (T1DM) as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) (1). A chronic autoimmune disease due to pancreatic dysfunctions leading to a decrease of insulin production. According to AACE Diabetes resource Centre T1DM is described as an autoimmune disorder that exhibits a catabolic function leading to a decrease in the plasma concentration of insulin and a compensatory elevated plasma glucagon and beta cell death that…

Preclinical points of view Metformin improves the insulin resistance primarily in muscle, liver, and adipose tissues by reducing the liver glucose output, largely due to a diminution in the rate of glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis (97). Various beneficial effects of metformin include attenuation of abnormal glucose metabolism, weight loss, improvement of insulin resistance, endothelial dysfunction, subclinical inflammation, lipid-lowering properties, antineoplastic potential and cardiovascular…

Type 2 diabetes is a prevalent disease that impacts the oral cavity far more than most individuals might know. Oral hygiene for many is a chore, and not an enjoyable task. Dental professionals recognize the importance of oral hygiene and it’s correlation to overall health. If good oral hygiene is crucial and of great importance for individuals who are perfectly healthy, that can only indicate that oral hygiene is critical for those who are not as privileged with their health. Individuals with…
