Objectives: To evaluate the association of glutathione S- transferase mu 1 (GST M1) and glutathione S- transferase theta 1 (GST T1) polymorphisms with the development of T1DM and disease-related risk factors. Materials and Methods: The study included 64 diabetic children with T1DM and 41 control subjects. They were subjected to: history taking anthropometric measurements and laboratory parameters included fasting glucose, serum creatinine, lipid profile, HbA1cand evaluation of GST T1 and M1…

Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in the U.S. Over a quarter of the diabetes cases go undiagnosed. Complications from diabetes are wide ranging and can be life threatening, but with proper treatment and careful lifestyle management, people can live a relatively normal and healthy life. If you’ve just been diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes, you’re in good company. According to the American Diabetes Association, as of 2012, 29.1 million people, or 9.3 percent of the U.S. population,…

Type II diabetes is a disorder involving the body’s abnormal utilization of insulin that results in an elevated blood glucose level. Margaret Powers writes about the disease process of Type II diabetes in the American Dietetic Association guide. According to Powers (2003), insulin comes from the pancreas and is responsible for converting sugar, starches, and other types of food into energy. When food is ingested, it is digested or turns into glucose in blood. The glucose that comes from the…

girl named Hannah and Type 1 Diabetes. Hannah is a 10-year-old girl who has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. She is a 4th grade student at Hendricks Elementary School. Prior to her diagnosis, Hannah was very involved…

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…

the flu. Diabetes develops when a person's body does not produce enough insulin, or cannot utilize the insulin that is produced. Insulin Injection is Necessary in all diabetic patients: Insulin shots are only required to patients suffering from Type 1 Diabetes. The reason for this is that the body cannot generate its own insulin anymore. For patients suffering from Type 2 Diabetes are required to take medication and practice regular exercise. However, if all these methods fail, these…

get your blood sugar to your target range. The cells in the body become resistant to insulin. Some symptoms are excessive hunger, fatigue, increased thirst, blurred vision, poor wound healing, large weight gain and frequent urination. Type 1 vs. type 2 In type 1 the pancreas produces little to no insulin. Many people call it juvenile diabetes. In type 2 it is a more chronic…

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 to self-eradication of the pancreatic beta-cells that are responsible for insulin secretion.…

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…

This paper is going to cover Acromegaly. It is going to discuss the pathophysiology, causes, complications, nursing care, interventions, and treatment. It will also discuss early and late signs and symptoms to look for that your body is undergoing some physiological changes. If left untreated, it can result in major health problems. Pathophysiology Acromegaly is a rare excessive production of the growth hormone which is secreted by the pituitary gland. It usually effects adults in their 30s and…
