Diabetes Diabetes mellitus is a chronic hyperglycemic condition in which the body does not produce enough or no insulin at all to control blood sugar levels in the body. The prevalence of diabetes is steadily growing at a fast rate‚ and it is predicted that by the year 2030 an estimated 370 million adults will be diagnosed with diabetes‚ that is double the amount of patient diagnosed with diabetes in the year 2000 (Ozougwu‚ Obimba‚ Belonwu‚ & Unakalamba‚ 2013).

1.2 Understand the function of insulin in the blood 1) 2.1 Which organ in the body produces insulin: The pancreas produces insulin. 2) 2.1 Describe how insulin is produced: Insulin is produced by the pancreas. The pancreas secretes pancreatic juice containing digestive enzymes. These enzymes help to break down carbohydrates‚ protein and fat in the small intestine. The pancreas produces several hormones-including glucose and insulin. 3) 2.2 Explain how insulin affects blood glucose levels:

For human insulin‚ it is consists of two polypeptide chains in which the chain A has 21 amino acids and chain B has 30 amino acids (Beta Cell Biology Consortium‚ 2014). Other than that‚ the two polypeptide chains are connected by two inter-chain disulfide bridges (Beta Cell Biology Consortium‚ 2014). For insulin from other animals‚ the structure is almost the same as human insulin‚ the only difference is the

when your body makes too much or too little insulin. Type one (juvenile/insulin dependent) diabetes is when your body does not make any insulin. The world is still looking for a cure. Type one diabetes is a condition in which the patient has high blood glucose levels that are caused by an extreme lack of insulin. This is caused when the body’s immune system attacks the insulin- producing cells and destroys them. You need insulin to move the glucose‚ a sugar found in food‚

autoimmune disease that causes the insulin producing beta cells in the pancreas to be destroyed‚ preventing the body from being able to produce enough insulin to adequately regulate blood glucose levels. Type 1 diabetes may sometimes be referred to as juvenile diabetes‚ because it is commonly diagnosed in children and the condition can develop at any age. Insulin dependent diabetes is another term used to describe type 1 diabetes. Since type 1 diabetes causes the loss of insulin production‚ it therefore requires
