    Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disease that occurs when a body is unable to produce insulin, is unable to adequately use the insulin produced, or is unable to produce enough insulin for what the body needs, and therefore results in a body not being able to process sugars properly. There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 is where the body does not produce any insulin and so the person is dependent on taking insulin shots to survive. Type 2 is where the body can produce insulin but may not be able to produce enough to meet the needs of the body or the body is not properly using the insulin so the person has high blood sugars. Living a healthy lifestyle can decrease your chance at getting Type 2 diabetes (Milchovich, S. K., & Dunn-Long,…

    1. Type 2 diabetes mellitus is the result of the pancreas being unable to produce adequate amounts of insulin and the resistance of cells to insulin. This results in glucose remaining in the blood and not being taken up by the cells leading to hyperglycemia. Because of insulin’s role in the stimulation of the synthesis of protein and the storage of fatty acids in adipose tissue, inadequate amounts of insulin also reduces nutrients that are essential for fuel and storage being accessed by tissues. Beta cells of the pancreas do not function correctly leading to inadequate amounts of insulin being produced. (P. 549) [ (Wolters Kluwer Health, 2012) ] [ (Khardori, 2012) ]…
