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…

Few decades back, people did not have pediatric endocrinologists. Pediatric endocrine disorders were known to be adult endocrinologists. In the present day endocrinologists, however, have focused on individualizing treatment for diabetic patients based on age, physical activity, meal timing, and daily schedule of the patient. Regimens and therapy by various physicians for diabetes management also differs from one another. Two classes of insulin are available for use in T1DM viz. bolus/prandial…

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…

I am not sure which was more shocking for me to hear: the fact that Tina had run away from home or the calmness of her foster mother's voice as she delivered the news. Tina was now at the Harlem Hospital Center, recovering from days of not taking any insulin. Watching her lie in the hospital bed, IV in arm, I wondered if our modest, student-run program was really fulfilling its mission of educating teens about healthy habits and proper diabetes care. Part of me wanted to remind her again that…

Blood glucose concentration controlled by two main hormones those are glucagon and insulin. Insulin: Insulin secreted by beta cells of pancreas. Those reducing the glucose level in blood, insulin hormone deposit glucose in liver, muscles and adipose tissue. Secretion makes hypoglycemia. Lack of insulin leads to diabetic mellitus. Treatment by insulin injection or tablets. Leads to may complications. Ex: eye- glucoma Peripheral neuropathy. Myocardial infection. Recurrent…

drink tons of water. • What medication do they take (if any) to manage their diabetes? Metformin for sugar and 60cc of insulin 30/70 (30 fast acting 70 slow acting apparently) • How often do they check their own blood sugar? Every other day (skipping 1 day) • Describe any short-term or long-term health complications related to the diabetes that they have experienced. Loss of sight and swelling of feet (muscle/nerve system) mostly. Discuss two things you already knew about diabetes? Since my…
