contrast, Type 2 diabetes (adult-onset diabetes or noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM)) is caused by the abnormal condition (insulin resistance), wherein cells become resistant to insulin’s effect or they go pear-shaped in using insulin in a very effective way typically (Islam and Tahir 155). From the said research, it is clear that type 2 diabetes and its further classification need more attention in the society (Schulman et al. 631). Seeing a higher mortality rate by type 2,…

Diabetes Diabetes is a genetic disease. There are two types of Diabetes, Type 1 which is were your pancreas does not produce insulin this is also known as “Juvenile diabetes” because it is often diagnosed in children and teens. There is also Type 2 diabetes; this occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or when the cells are unable to use insulin properly. Diabetes is common genetic disease and affects many people. The number of people affected by diabetes is 21.9 million people,…

Screening for Type 2 Diabetes Screening is a way to check for type 2 diabetes in people who do not have symptoms of the disease, but who may likely develop diabetes in the future. Diabetes can lead to serious health problems. Early diagnosis of diabetes allows for early treatment. WHAT ARE RISK FACTORS FOR TYPE 2 DIABETES? Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include: • Family history of diabetes. • Obesity or being overweight. • Certain racial or ethnic groups: ○ American Indian…

Type 2 diabetes is often asymptomatic, and it is the most prevalent form of diabetes. In the early stage, type 2 diabetes manifestation is unpredictable; therefore, it can remain undiagnosed for many years. According to the American Diabetes Association, there are 30.3 million adults with diabetes, 23.1 million were diagnosed, and the remaining 7.2 million were undiagnosed; therefore, this program is for the 7.2 million who would die or lost limbs from diabetes complication before they can have…

apnea and peptic ulcer as a result of being overweight. According to the American Society for Metabolic and Bariatric Surgery, to be qualified for bariatric surgery, the candidate must have the following: 1. BMI≥ 40 or more than 100 pounds overweight 2. BMI≥ 35 and at least one or more obesity-related comorbidities such as type II diabetes, hypertension, sleep apnea, and other respiratory disorders, nonalcoholic fatty liver disease, osteoarthritis, lipid abnormalities, gastrointestinal disorders…

Question 1: The Grantham study was based on information gleaned from the larger AusDiab study, which included a food frequency questionnaire. Benefits: • Large Prospective Cohort study like this can judge causality by collect data concerning the series of outcomes. • This study can measure the impact of diary intake on various outcomes like prevalence of diabetes and risk factors for the chronic diseases of diabetes, cardiovascular disease, and kidney disease. • The study allow to calculate…

the immune system destroying the cells in the pancreas that make insulin. Type 1 is also known as juvenile diabetes since it is most commonly found in children or young adults. Type 1 is probably the more dangerous out of the two, although both are pretty serious and no joking matter. Type 2 diabetes is the more popular of the two, affecting nearly 80 percent more people than type 1. The difference between the two is that type 1, there isn’t enough insulin made. On the other hand, in type 2…

study was to evaluate the efficacy of a compounded topical cream (Transdermal Therapeutics). Two versions of TT-CTAC cream were evaluated. Both creams contain Ketamine (10%), Baclofen (2%), Gabapentin (6%), amitriptyline (4%), bupivacaine (2%), Clonidine (0.2%). Additionally, one cream (7B) contains nifedipine (2%). The primary efficacy outcome was the change in numeric pain intensity score from pre-treatment to post-treatment. Secondary outcomes were qualitative grading (excellent, good, poor,…

Diabetes is a widespread disease that does not allow the body’s ability to produce or use insulin which is a hormone that allows glucose turn into energy. There are two types of diabetes; diabetes 1 causes the body to make little or no insulin and diabetes 2 makes the body resistant to insulin. Both types of diabetes can greatly increase a person's risk for a range of serious complications that can strike anyone. Sign/Symptoms of the disease Symptoms can usually start in childhood or young…

is increasing as the population ages and is becoming more overweight. There are two forms of this terrible disease. Type one diabetes is characterized by immune-mediated destruction of beta cells leading to an absolute deficiency of insulin. Type 2 diabetes is a relative insulin deficiency that can eventually lead to beta cell distruction. Since insulin is required for uptake of sugar into cell, a deficiency leads to elevated blood glucose levels and eventually…
