As a parent, you never know when your life will change and it’s especially difficult when the change is happens to our very own child. Just recently my 12-year old son Julian was diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes. I never expected this to happen to my family because we have always eat healthy, stay away from sugary foods and never have anything processed in our home. What’s even more frightening; is the doctor has recommended Julian treat his diabetes with a daily shot to control his diabetes, I…

I seem to come up with new analogies for type 1 diabetes everyday. Stuff like, “Diabetes is like a small baby, when it’s crying there seems to be nothing you can do for it.” All just random little phrases to lighten up the situation. I guess one of those times where my diabetes was “crying” is when I was on syringes and I couldn’t get my blood sugars under control and they were just constantly hovering up in the 400’s. A normal blood sugar should be somewhere in between the range of 80-180 so I…

There are two major types of diabetes. One is insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or juvenile-onset diabetes which is usually called type 1 diabetes and the other non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus or maturity-onset diabetes which is usually called type 2 diabetes. 1. Beginnings In 1552 B.C, Hesy-Ra who was an Egyptian internal medicine doctor recorded frequently urination as a symptom of a incomprehensible disease that also caused weakness. Also around this time, ancient healers…

Rufinamide (Banzel) was designated as an orphan drug for use in the treatment of seizures that are caused by Lennox—Gastaut syndrome in patients older than four in 2004 by the FDA (Food and Drug Adminsitration).¬¬¬¬¬1 Lennox—Gastaut syndrome (LGS) is a epileptic disease, commonly found in children, that is characterized a high rate of injury from seizures as well as a wide range of treatment-resistant seizures. In the past treatments were inadequate, leaving patients without much, but after the…

Of all the diabetes, type 2 is the most common, accounting for 90 to 95% of all cases of diabetes. There is insufficient production of insulin by the pancreas. The disease process associated with type 2 diabetes include insulin resistance, where the fat, muscle, and liver cells do not use insulin to carry glucose into the body’s cells to use for energy. As a result, the body requires more insulin to help glucose move in the cells. At first, the pancreas is able to keep up with the added demand…

Type 1 diabetes (TD1), also known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces little to no insulin. Type 1 differs from type 2 by which the pancreas in type 2 produces insulin, but the body resists its effects. Insulin is an important hormone needed to allow sugar to enter cells to produce energy. Type 1 diabetes occurs by autoimmune-mediated destruction of insulin-producing β-cells in the pancreas, and genome-wide association studies…

Overview Type 1 or classic galactosemia is autosomal recessive disease that has the potential to become lethal. This disease causes the inability for newborns to process galactose within their liver. This can be fatal as rising levels of galactose within the body can be very toxic. Even individuals who survive the high level of galactose would obtain neurological damage. This disease has several variations, however, this particular manifestation is the result of gene that encode for galatctose…

Lauryn Fanning There are major forms of diabetes classified by the American Diabetes Association as type 1 and type 2. Type 1 diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes, the body's immune system kills the cells that release insulin, eventually eliminating insulin production. Without insulin, cells cannot absorb sugar (glucose), which is needed to produce energy. Type 2 diabetes, or also known as non-insulin dependent diabetes, the body isn't able to use insulin, or what is called…

Shakespeare’s histories do not always effectively convey the truth of the historical matter. Rather, Shakespeare’s histories are more of a political tale of the events. With this said, it is no surprise that Shakespeare delves into the personal lives of the characters he wrote of. Throughout Henry IV (part one) honor and the power that occurs based on whether a person is considered ‘honorable’ is continually displayed through the main characters of Prince Hal, King Henry, Falstaff, and Hotspur…

We are Washington State University of Nursing students studying childhood type one diabetes in the Yakima community. Our hope is to make a positive impact on the pediatric type one diabetic population in Yakima Washington, by addressing unmet needs of this population. In 2015, it was estimated that the total annual medical expenditures for a diabetic was $13,700 per year, 7,900 of which was directly attributed to diabetes. During our research we found that Yakima is lacking a pediatric…
