Essays on Diabetes Type

Diabetes is a chronic metabolic disorder, which is based on the formation of insulin deficiency and an increase in blood glucose levels. Among metabolic disorders the diabetes occupies a second place after obesity. In the world about 10% of the population suffer from diabetes, however, when one considers hidden form of the disease, this figure can be 3-4 times higher. Diabetes develops due to chronic deficiency of insulin and it is accompanied by disorders of carbohydrate, protein and fat metabolism. By interfacing with other diseases endocrinology highlights symptomatic (secondary) and true diabetes. Symptomatic diabetes accompanies diseases of the endocrine ...

Introduction

Globally, an alarming increased rate of diabetes diagnosis has been reported with over 380 million diabetic cases reported in 2015. Diabetes has been found to cause death, stroke, amputations, or kidney failure. The increased rate of this global epidemic has been fueled by urbanization and lifestyle. It is projected that by 2030, over 600 million people will be suffering from diabetes (Henderson & Barry, 2014). Based on the findings of the American Diabetes Association that examined the cost of diabetes treatment released in 2013, an estimated total cost of the diagnosed diabetes rose to $245 billion in 2012 compared to $ ...

Type 2 diabetes is featured by the conflation of insulin resistance and inappropriate insulin secretion. The levels of free fatty acids increase the plasma contribution to the insulin resistance which, in turn, decreases the transportation of glucose to the muscle cells and enhances the breakdown of the fat. The pathophysiology of the disease is debated on account of the role of insulin sensitivity and beta-cell functioning. Additionally, the specific roles played by these factors are still unclear. Nonetheless, there is considerable agreement that both these factors are crucial to explaining the disease's pathophysiology. Diabetes Type II typically exists when ...

Carrera-Carrillo, Lore. "“Some of us are learning Spanish and some of us are learning English”: A comparison of second language programs in Texas." Thesis. 2003. Carrera-Carrillo observes how dual language programs are gaining popularity throughout the United States and targeting both the minority language students as well as the majority language students. Studies have revealed that there are many advantages which are associated with the learning of the English language. The native language enables students acquire content with better insight and can relate more to these concepts later in the English language. Not all facilities which have embraced ...

1.0 Introduction Diabetes mellitus is chronic condition that occurs when either the beta cells of the pancrease are unable to secrete insulin, or they secrete insufficient insulin or when the target cells become resistant to insulin resulting to elevated blood glucose levels. Generally there are two types of diabetes mellitus. Type I diabetes, also known as insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) occurs when the pancreas is unable to produce sufficient insulin. On the other hand Type II diabetes, also known as non–insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus (NIDDM) occurs when the target cells become resistant to insulin so that insulin has ...
