Glucose tolerance test

increased glucose levels in the blood due to problems in the secretion of insulin or the action of insulin in the body. Eyes, heart, kidneys and blood vessels are some of the organs which can be affected by chronic hyperglycemia in diabetes.(Association 2014) Type 1 diabetes also known as insulin-dependent diabetes is the type of diabetes in which the body produces deficient amounts of insulin. People who have type 1 diabetes administrate insulin daily in their body to regulate their blood…

Diagnostic Testing The diagnostic testing that is done for diabetes mellitus is that they can give urine tests, which they will give you, a paper strip or even a dipstick and when you dip it, it is supposed to change color. The strip shows the amount of sugar that is in the urine. There is keotones in the urine, which can be noticed by doing a dipstick test. Ketoacidosis can be a life-threatening thing…

first test is called the Hemoglobin A1C Test. This test measures the average blood sugar level over a long period of time (2 Months). Usually, an A1C level of 6.5% or higher on two different tests indicates Type 2 diabetes; second, is the Fasting Glucose Test, which includes the doctor taking a blood sample after a night of fasting. A normal fasting blood sugar level is < 100mg/dl. If the blood sugar level after fasting is between 100 to 125mg/dl, this indicates pre-diabetes. When the…

affects the lives of many men, women, and children. If you are overweight, have a family history of diabetes, or not physically active, you can be at risk for diabetes.

It occurs when the body is in short supply of insulin, or the body does not use insulin the right way…

What is diabetes and what is Type 2 diabetes? Diabetes is a metabolic disorder that originates from the body's failure to produce and supply sufficient amount of insulin needed to absorb the glucose or sugar energy that are converted from eaten food. There are two major types of diabetes, the types 1 and 2. The fist type is characterized by the body's failure to produce the insulin needed, this usually occurs among children. The second type is…

little activity in their life. Tests doctors do to determine if someone has type two diabetes include Glycated hemoglobin test (A1C), random blood sugar test, fasting blood sugar test, and oral glucose tolerance test. The A1C test indicates someone’s average blood sugar level over the past two to three months. Which measures the percentage of the blood sugar attached to the hemoglobin. If the A1C level is 6.5 or higher this indicates diabetes. Random blood sugar test are when a doctor takes a…

patient has a urinary tract infection. Oliguria can be a symptom of dehydration or kidney disease. For each of these complaints, there are several tests that can be ran to determine if a person does in fact have these conditions or any other medical condition. For polyuria, a physical will usually want to run tests to see if the patient has diabetes. Tests that determine…

In vitro, in vivo and in silico drug-drug interaction study between Vildagliptin and Bisoprolol fumarate. ABSTRACT Objective: Present study was aimed to evaluate the in vitro, in vivo and in silico complexation nature and strength of complex which may be formed due to interaction between Vildagliptin and Bisoprolol fumarate. Methods: The interaction of Vildagliptin and Bisoprolol fumarate has been studied in aqueous systems at a fixed temperature (370C) at pH 1.0, 3.0 and 6.8 by using some…

approximately 90% of all cases, normally caused by a high fat, high sugar diet and a lack of exercise. It is the body’s inability to either produce enough insulin in the pancreas or to respond to the insulin produces, leading to unpredictably high or low glucose levels and possibly nerve damage as well as hypoglycaemia (World Health Organisation, 2015). Treatments options to manage diabetes 2 include making lifestyle changes, such as eating a healthy diet, reducing the body max index to less…
