There have been many advances in the technology of diabetic supplies; this includes the insulin pump. “Insulin pumps are a medical device used for the administration of insulin in the treatment of diabetes mellitus‚ also known as continuous subcutaneous insulin infusion therapy”(Wikipedia).

concept of Homeostasis. Homeostasis describes how your body regulates its process to keep its internal conditions as stable as possible. Human cells are efficient but very demanding so the homeostasis is needed. Temperature and blood PH change slightly while others such as blood glucose very considerably throughout a normal day without producing any harmful effects. Homeostasis is the maintenance of a constant internal environment in the response to a change in the external environment. An example of

needs‚ and therefore results in a body not being able to process sugars properly. There are two main types of diabetes.

Living a healthy lifestyle can decrease your chance at getting

did not see why it could have been affected by the disease. The muscles can get glucose from the blood with the help of insulin. This helps lower blood sugar levels. But because this disease does not produce a lot of insulin it can not get glucose from the blood. This means muscles can’t get the “fuel” they need. This system is not affected by the disease because the patient did not have high blood sugar levels and his muscles look pink and health. Endocrine System: As I examined the Endocrine System

environment. Blood glucose refers to the sugar that is transported through the bloodstream to supply energy to all the cells in our bodies. Cells in the body need glucose for respiration through mitochondria‚ which produces ATP- the energy source for all processes of cells. The human body regulates blood glucose levels so that they are neither too low nor too high- maintaining a condition of stability or equilibrium (homeostasis). It is significant that the concentration of glucose in the blood is maintained
