It is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin. Basic pathology is Insulin Problem (either deficiency or impaired action). Insulin is a hormone secreted by the Beta cells of the pancreas it promotes entry of glucose into the body cells by binding to the insulin receptor in the cell. Risk factors for diabetes

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 I saw it was affected. The patient was taking Novolin N‚ which is an insulin that helps control

However‚ a large gap between evidence and practice remains‚ as recently shown by the Pittsburgh Epidemiology of Diabetes Complications (EDC) study‚ in which 30-year rates of microvascular complications in the ‘real world’ EDC patients were twice that of DCCT patients who received intensive insulin therapy. This gap may be attributed to the many challenges that patients

Insulin controls the special carrier proteins on a cells membrane and controls the amount of glucose that passes into the cell; this is responsible for your blood sugar level. Type-one diabetes is “characterized by deficient insulin production and requires daily administration of insulin” by the World Health Organization (WHO). Because of the absence of these cells in type-one diabetic
