The Drive To Stop Diabetes Campaign
The story about Ryan Reed was very interesting; he believed in himself and didn’t let diabetes stop him. The story was very inspirational to read. The Drive to Stop Diabetes campaign is a great idea and having Ryan as a spokesperson is amazing. He is a good example on how to live with diabetes; he went against the norm and worked closely with his doctors to achieve his dream. Fasting Plasma Glucose and Casual/ Random Glucose testing is done to diagnose people for diabetes. Type 1 diabetes makes little to no insulin due to overactive immune system.

    Unit 9 D2

    People with this type of diabetes have to inject regular insulin to keep their sugar levels under control which means they have to be more careful when exercising as the sugar levels will fluctuate. They also have to make sure they take the right dose at the right times every day because if they don’t they could go into a hypoglycaemia coma and if they take the insulin but don’t eat then they could go into a Hyperglycaemia coma.…

    Mckenzie Biography

    In the article, Diabetes Doesn’t Run My Life, it describes how a girl called Mckenzie copes with type 1 diabetes and how even though she has this disease, she still can be a determined and focused athlete and person. She comprehends that if she were born in the times when they did not know how to diagnose type 1 diabetes, she would most likely be dead. To add on, instead of sulking around, she has come to terms with her life and tries to make the best out of it. Mckenzie has even traveled to Guatemala where she met and tested some 400 children who were diagnosed with diabetes. Furthermore, besides being a thoughtful and generous individual, she is an extremely committed sportswoman. She has joined tennis and is one of the best at her school.…

    Ashlee Wells Research Paper

    Ashlee Wells, my sister, is a hardworking 6th grader attending Rogers and I consider her as my hero. I have acknowledged Ashlee as my hero because at age three she was diagnosed with type one diabetes, and this completely changed her life. Type 1 diabetes is when your pancreas can’t produce enough insulin to regulate your blood sugar, so it makes you feel either very hyper or fatigued, but both feelings can lead life-threatening events. Ever since she was pronounced to have diabetes, she has never been able to eat anything or do anything freely without worrying what her sugar is, and how something could affect it. My sister can’t ever be free from this diagnosis, but it doesn't mean she can’t manage what other people can. There is an infinite…

    The 1920's: A Brief History Of Diabetes

    Even though there were many important discoveries relating to insulin and diabetes, there still was no cure or treatment for it. Individuals diagnosed with this disease died shortly after diagnosis. In the early 1900’s, Frederick Allen – a leading diet therapist – invented a diet specifically for diabetic patients. He called it ‘the undernutrition approach’ where as his patients called it ‘the starvation diet.’ This diet allowed the diabetic patients an intake of 800-1000 calories per day for six days and fewer calories on the seventh day. It wasn’t ideal but the goal of this diet was to prolong the life of diabetic patients until hopefully a cure was discovered. (Turner, Novo Story of Insulin - Part 1, n.d.)…

    Biomedical Science: Type 2 Diabetes

    Type 2 Diabetes is a lifelong disease in which there is a high level of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It is the most common form of diabetes. Obesity is common in patients with type 2 diabetes. Statistics show that four out of five victims of type 2 diabetes are overweight of obese. Type 2 diabetes is a condition in which ones pancreas makes enough insulin, but the body cannot use the insulin correctly. This is called insulin resistance. Insulin resistance occurs in ones body before they are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes. When one has insulin resistance, their glucose builds up in their blood, rather than being absorbed by the cells. Most people are unaware that they have insulin resistance until they develop type 2 diabetes. To be diagnosed with diabetes, one must take a glucose tolerance exam. The glucose tolerance exam checks how one’s body breaks down sugar (glucose). The patient must fast for 12 hours prior to the test. When the patient first arrives, blood is drawn to use as the control of the test. Next, the doctor will give the patient a sugary liquid to drink. A certain time period later, more blood will be drawn and analyzed to study how well the patient breaks down glucose. This test determines if one is diabetic or not.…

    Type 2 Diabetes Pathophysiology

    Type II Diabetes is a rapidly growing disease in our country. Unfortunately, many of us know at least one person who battles through this metabolic disease. I chose the article titled The sugar disease-understanding type 2 diabetes mellitus written by Georgina Casey to review and learn from. This article was found in the Continuing Professional Development +Nurses Journal published in March 2011. My grandmother has battled with this disease for many years and it has slowly progressed to cause multiple health complications. She continues to battle this disease both physically and financially. With an extensive family history and seeing the effects it can have on a person, I found it important to educate myself and learn more about this disease.…

    National Diabetes Statistics Report

    According to the National Diabetes Statistics Report for 2014 published by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, approximately 21 million Americans of all ages have been diagnosed with diabetes as of 2012. This number only includes those who have been diagnosed by a medical professional and from this population; almost 95% of diagnosed adults have Type II diabetes. The difference between Type I and Type II diabetes is that Type I often times affects children who’s cells fail to produce insulin, which is important in the regulation of blood glucose. With Type II diabetes patients are insulin resistance, meaning that the cells in the liver, muscle, and fat are unable to produce enough insulin to regulate blood glucose…

    Patient X Interview Paper

    This interview was personally very informative to me. Before this assignment I had little knowledge about diabetes. Being incurable there is only one major focus once diagnosed with diabetes, management. I began the interview by gaining some background information on the patient. I inquired how he was first diagnosed and asked if there was any family history of diabetes. He began to explain, “In Febuary of 2015 I was originally diagnosed with Type 2 diabetes. But, this past summer I was diagnosed with LAPD type 1. I qualified for 2 out of the 5 antibodies present for type 1 diabetes.” (Patient X) After gaining some background information about patient X I inquired about his treatment plan. He explained that he recently visited a specialist and got fitted with two separate devices;…

    Type 1 Diabetes Informative Speech

    Talking about diabetes in one thing. Talking about diabetes while it waits your doorstep is a whole other story. I live with a high risk of diabetes. Countless members of my family have been diagnosed with this disease and some have passed away because of it. Diabetes runs through both sides of my family. My paternal grandmother, my maternal grandfather, my maternal grandfather’s brothers, and my maternal grandmother’s older sister all suffer from the same disease. For all of them, the daily routine never changed. They all swallowed pill after pill and conducted blood test after blood test. To this day, I still remember watching them swallow pills the size of almonds and cringing whenever they pricked themselves to conduct a blood test. I…
