Insulin shock therapy

hyperglycemia resulting from a lack of insulin, which requires lifestyle and behavioral changes. There are three types of diabetes, Type 1 and Type 2 that are separate and distinct pathophysiological entities, and Gestational Diabetes. According to Kowalski (2012 p.1294) “Type 1 Diabetes results from destruction of the pancreatic beta cells because the beta cells of the pancreas have been damaged or destroyed by an autoimmune response.” It attacks against the insulin-producing beta cells that…

Smoking’s Effect and Its association to the Type-2 Diabetes Mellitus Have you ever noticed when you are in an air-conditioned-room, there is a prohibition stated “Do not smoke”? If so, let’s we think for a while about why smoking is literally prohibited. There is still a controversy about this prohibition. Some groups said that smoking is very dangerous to our health because of its content. Some others said that smoking is one of the best activities to refresh our mind after being stressed…

confusion, diaphoresis, hunger, nausea, vomiting, and palpitations (Diabetes Prevention Program, R. G. 2005). One of the causes of hypoglycemia is administering insulin above the require amounts. Their needs to be a balance between the amounts of sugar available even when insulin is being used to lower glucose levels. Overdose of insulin will cause hypoglycemia. Not enough food in the body can also cause hypoglycemia. Excessive exercising will also lead to hypoglycemia due the fact that…

extend longevity on wide range of taxa (Fontana et al., 2010). In addition, research done on animal models reveals that there exists conserved molecular mechanisms known to influence ageing. Nonetheless, while certain nutrient sensing pathways such as Insulin-like signalling (IIS) and mTOR pathway have been shown to influence lifespan in animals, the exact mechanism to longevity remains elusive and controversial. Therefore, this article aims to provide insight on the relevance of DR to…

and released in response to the rise in glucose from eating, GLP-1 plays a critical role in glucose homeostasis by increasing insulin production and suppressing glucagon release. Additionally, GLP-1 slows gastric emptying and contributes to satiety. The combination of these factors contributes to glycemia, particularly following meals. Activity of GLP-1, much like insulin, is impaired in patients with type 2 diabetes (T2DM) (Shaikh & Goldman, 2016). However, the advent of GLP-1 receptor…

the seventh leading cause of death (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, 2016). Diabetes type 2 has almost doubled in the past two decades and it is more common than type 1 diabetes. Type I diabetes patients do not produce insulin but type 2-diabetes produce insulin but not enough for the body’s needs. The topic that the author chose is diabetes mellitus type 2. This article will include pathophysiology, disease process, treatments, and follow up plan. Pathophysiology of diabetes type 2…

have in common is that both diets start with a low intake of carbohydrate. Carbohydrates consumed is converted to glucose and it allows the body to make use of the glucose as a source of energy. However, it is important for the pancreas to release insulin into the bloodstream so that our cells will be able to access the glucose and have it converted to energy. The problem lies when we take too much carbohydrate in our body- making us fat and even suffer from blood sugar level swings. The…

disease in which the pancreas stops producing insulin. Insulin is a hormone that enables the body to gain energy from food. Over 40,000 people in the United States alone are diagnosed each year. Managing type one diabetes is like a 24/7 365 days a year job; no breaks, no holidays, no exceptions. Type one diabetics have to monitor their blood glucose levels, calculate the total carbs for everything they eat and inject the appropriate amount of insulin. A person with type one diabetes will give…

Diabetes is a disease that has a mass amount of sugar in your blood or high blood glucose. Diabetes mellitus is caused by a lack of responsiveness to insulin and have a high blood glucose level. There are two types of Diabetes mellitus. Type one diabetes, destroy the pancreatic cells. Type two diabetes affects the body flow and increase the process of blood sugar. When the beta cells from the pancreas fail to provide, diabetes occurs. The energy comes from the glucose. Eating healthy and right…

two diabetes the body’s insulin is slowed by the pancreas after long periods of high glucose levels. Type one diabetes is insulin dependent and is when the body makes inadequate insulin supply. Whereas type two diabetes is when the body builds up resistance to the insulin being produced by the body. Diabetes mellitus is caused by a deficiency of the pancreatic hormone called insulin. Insulin metabolizes starch and sugar, for a while the pancreas will produce more insulin to handle the demands of…
