Diabetes mellitus

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. On the other hand, periodontal diseases are more common with person(s) suffering from poor glycaemic…

J.T. is a 76-year-old male who has been living with Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 for the last 25 years. He was diagnosed back in the early 1990’s and has since been additionally diagnosed with hypertension and hyperlipidemia, both of which are frequently seen in diabetics. He is currently taking: Metformin HCl tabs 500 mg PO BID and Glipizide XL tabs 2.5 mg PO once a day to control his diabetes; Benazepril HCl tabs 20 mg PO once a day and Amlodipine Besylate tabs 5 mg PO once a day to control his…

Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic disorders, which share the common feature of present high levels of blood glucose (source of energy for the body; hyperglycemia) or chronic persistent; if these levels are too high or too low it can lead to acute complications that have to resolve quickly. Elevated levels maintained for a long time and cause blood glucose levels damaging arteries throughout the body, long-term deterioration and alter various organs, especially eyes, kidneys, nerves,…

A Study of Bone Mineral Density and Its Determinants in Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) has been conflictingly connected with low bone mineral density (BMD) and expanded crack danger. 86 back to back T1DM cases and 140 disconnected age and sex coordinated solid nondiabetic controls were incorporated into the study. After history and examination, BMD and body structure were evaluated by double vitality X-beam absorptiometry (DXA). Serum tests were investigated for…

Type 1 diabetes mellitus is a chronic disease in which the body’s own immune system erroneously attacks the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans located in the pancreas that produce insulin, resulting in a high level of glucose in the blood. Insulin is needed to transport blood glucose (sugar) into cells. The sugar is then stored in the cells and used later for energy. “In these duties, insulin acts as a regulator of gene transcription” (Cox, 688). When beta cells produce too little or,…

Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disease characterized by high blood glucose levels, decreased insulin production, and/or insulin resistance. Insulin is important in permitting glucose to be absorbed by the cells of the body from the blood stream. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, both of which involve deficient transporting abilities of glucose into cells, but via differing mechanisms. Type 1 diabetes is caused by an insulin deficiency. It is an autoimmune disease that leads…

Diabetes Mellitus Type 2 is a complex chronic metabolic disorder characterised by increased insulin resistance and impaired insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells and involving an interplay of various genetic and environmental factors. This report discusses the pathogenesis and long term complications of type 2 diabetes as well as several pharmacological treatments. Pathogenesis of Type 2 Diabetes
Genetic predisposition contributes to the pathogenesis of Type 2 diabetes as evidenced by a…
