Diabetes Type 1 Research Paper
Diabetes Type 1
This type of diabetes is more rare than type 2 and occurs when the body cannot produce insulin. Insulin must get replaced with injections to control blood sugar level. The imbalance is mostly caused by autoimmune problems that make the body turn against itself and damages the pancreas, which in turn make the diabetic insulin dependent. It normally develops in people under 40.
Though it is possible to develop at any age, it is common to start with people who are younger than 20 – children and teenagers, so it is sometimes called ‘juvenile diabetes.' As an ‘early onset’ of the disease, this is normally inherited from a parent or grandparent. Genetics play a big role in certain diseases like diabetes to determine if you are more …show more content…
When cells are resistant to insulin, the body cannot get the energy needed, and the worst part is that, over time, sugar is built up in your blood and can hurt your eyes, kidneys, and other organs. Cells are not using the insulin properly by blocking the glucose that is necessary for energy. The unabsorbed sugars eventually causes an imbalance in the bloodstream and other organs work overtime attempting to create a balance. This complication allows other debilitating problems to develop in other organs such as heart disease and pancreatitis. The Journal of Cancer Research and the American Cancer Society says that type 2 is linked to liver cancer which is steadily increasing in conjunction to the new cases of diabetes. Additionally, those with diabetes are twice as likely to develop liver cancer. The symptoms of liver cancer is vomiting, upper abdominal pain, loss of appetite and weight, change of stool color or an excess number of bowel …show more content…
The treatment is focused on diets, healthy living, exercise, physical activities, and using oral pills or insulin injections if needed. Some people can handle their diabetes without taking pills or injections just by living a healthy life. So eating raw fruits and vegetables, doing cardiovascular exercises, and relaxing sometimes will help get your diabetes under
