Diabetes mellitus type 2

Diabetes mellitus and Periodontitis are thought to share a two-way relationship. The link between these diseases has been extensively investigated 1, over a period of time with numerous publications of case reports, longitudinal studies, cross-sectional studies and literature reviews. Supporting the idea that poorly controlled diabetes increases the occurrence and progression of Periodontitis.

Diabetes takes many shapes, sizes and faces. There are misconceptions about this disease, the different types of diabetes and how they should be treated. Diabetes is a disease that effects every organ in the body. In 2008, the American Diabetes Association estimated that over 20 million people in the United States are living with diabetes (Cohen, 2013). In the next few paragraphs I will be discussing the different types of diabetes, signs and symptoms and treatment options. Diabetes type 1…

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…

One of the fastest growing chronic conditions in Australia is diabetes. About 85% represents Type 2 diabetes mellitus (T2DM) and is still rising in prevalence (Diabetes Australia, 2015). In managing this condition, the focus is to control the blood glucose levels to the normal range as possible in order to prevent further complications. Though, controlling this problem is immensely demanding for individuals with Down syndrome and an intellectual disability (ID). This essay will analyse the…

This can be caused by a number of factors and/or injuries to certain organs of the body. DI is an uncommon disorder characterized by two major symptoms: polyuria and polydipsia (American). Polyuria is defined as the excretion of large amounts of urine. Polydipsia is defined as intense thirst even though large amounts of fluids are consumed. Other signs may include nocturia…

Diabetes mellitus is a condition that is characterized by high blood glucose levels. It has two types, 1 Type 1 or diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is caused mainly by an auto-immunological destruction of the pancreatic β cells which are responsible to produce insulin, but it can be caused by other factors. The patients that suffer from T1DM have a total deficiency of insulin, and are usually young. In type 2 or diabetes mellitus (T2DM), different cells of the body including fat and muscle cells…

the neurohypophysis. AVP binds to the G-protein couple receptor, arginine vasopressin receptor type 2 (AVPR2), in the basolateral membrane of the kidneys. This leads to transport of aquaporin water channels (AQP2) to the apical membrane of the collecting duct principal cells. Water permeability is induced in the membrane resulting in water reabsorption in the principal cells. 1 The four types of diabetes insipidus (DI) include central DI, nephrogenic DI, gestational DI, and dipsogenic DI.…
