Most type 1 diabetics are diagnosed under the age of 30, but it is becoming more common to find adults being diagnosed over the age of 30. Many attribute the development of type 1 diabetes to…

Point 1: (Diagnosis) Type 2 diabetes is when insulin resistance causes blood glucose levels to rise over 126 mg/dL after 8 hours of fasting. The article mentions that type 2 diabetes is directly linked to increased levels of obesity and decreased levels of physical activity, and the people at a high risk are those who are overweight, eat unhealthily, and are highly inactive. Osmotic diuresis, a plasma glucose level of more than 200 mg/dL, an HbA1C value of more than 6.5%, and high triglyceride…

There are two types of diabetes. People with type 1 diabetes cannot produce insulin because the body’s immune system attacks the beta cells of the pancreas. This results in the accumulation of glucose in the blood stream. As a result, glucose cannot get inside cells which need glucose for energy. Therefore, people with type 1 diabetes become fatigue with loss of appetite and energy. Although there is no cure for type 1 diabetes people can get treated by insulin injections. Type 2 diabetes…

Background: Type-1 diabetes mellitus (T1-DM) is the commonest endocrine-metabolic disease in childhood. The prevalence of CD in type-1 DM ranges from 0.6 to 16.4% compared with 0.01–0.03% in the general population. The mechanism of association between the two diseases involves a shared genetic background of HLA genotype. Serum tissue transglutaminase IgA antibodies (tTG IgA) are considered specific and sensitive markers for screening of Celiac disease in more than 95 % of patients. Objective:…

of Increasing Physical Activity on Previously Sedentary Type 1 Diabetic Children Background Type 1 Diabetes is a condition that effects many people, and the disease debilitates their ability to exercise.

The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI (Enrichment 1)) is the result of many years of hard work and research by the mother-daughter duo of Katherine Briggs and Isabelle Myers. The MBTI is a non-judgemental tool used to sort people based on personality, where no trait is positive or negative. The test is self-administered with no time limit, no right or wrong answers, and sixteen possible outcomes. Each outcome, known as a type, has four representative letters. There are two possibilities for…
