Diabetes in Relation with Depression in Women
Have you ever wondered how diabetes has affected millions of women in the U.S.? Diabetes has been around for many years and is a chronic physical health problem and can lead to death and many, many more chronic illnesses over a woman’s lifetime. One of the major problem of having diabetes is that it can lead to depression. Depression had been diagnosed in many women and will continue to be diagnosed.
Diabetes was discovered in 1910 by Sir Edward Albert Sharpey-Schafer. Schafer was studying the pancreas and discovered insulin a substance that is in everyone who does not have diabetes. The people who do have diabetes lack in insulin. Insulin comes from the latin word insula which mean island, and it is referencing the insulin producing islets of Langerhans in the pancreas (American Diabetes Association (ADA) 2014). Insulin is needed to open up the cells so that the sugar can go inside and be converted to energy, and when a person lacks insulin, it means that they are not able to open the cells by themselves, they need a boost to open the cells. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 is when the immune system is attacking the pancreas. The cells that produce insulin are perceived as foreign cells and destroys them. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form, in this people are able to produce some of their own insulin but it is not enough to open the cells to let the sugar in. The American Diabetes Association was founded in 1940 to see to the needs of increasing complications developing from the disease. In 2003 the Troglitazone in Prevention of Diabetes (TRIPOD) treated women who were at risk of developing type 2 diabetes and TZDS, and it was very effective. It completely prevented the onset of the disease. In 2009 scientists discovered five genetic biomarkers and could lead to improved treatments for type 2 diabetes(ADA). In 2010 scientist identify genetic markers that is evidence that there is a genetic link
