a signal from the brain‚ it changes its function in order to correct the deviation (Science.jrank.org‚ 2008). To highlight‚ the nervous system uses sensory receptors‚ nerves‚ and the brain to monitor our cells‚ while the endocrine system uses the blood circulatory system to control our cells. Our nervous system operates at light speed‚ while the endocrine system generally works more slowly to create changes in your biochemistry (Kim‚ 2014). Both systems have the same aim which is ensuring a dynamic

We wanted to test her sugar levels at different time so that we could see where her levels were. We performed a test called a Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test. This blood test indicates an average blood sugar level for the past two to three months. It works by measuring the percentage of blood sugar attached to hemoglobin‚ the oxygen-carrying protein in red blood cells. The higher the blood sugar levels‚ the more hemoglobin that has sugar attached. An A1C level of 6.5 percent or

best way to describe the circumstances surrounding my diagnosis was that it was basically routine. I was very sick‚ worn out and nervous when I walked into Milad Hospital in Tehran. I was a frail and pale 11 year old boy weighing 90 pounds. My blood sugar was off the charts; they quickly hooked me up to an IV and diagnosed me with Type 1 diabetes. Being a young boy‚ not knowing what diabetes was nor having the capability to cope with its diagnosis‚ my first response was "cool." Fortunately‚ my condition

Diabetes: The blood glucose concentration of the body is monitored and controlled by the Pancreas. The Pancreas produces the hormone insulin‚ which increases the body’s cells uptake of glucose from the blood. However; sometimes a person is unable to regulate the concentration of glucose in their blood because their Pancreas does not produce the right amount of insulin. This is called Diabetes. Causes of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes: Type 1 diabetes occurs by the pancreas not being able to produce

Case Study 1 1.) Define hypoglycemia. What are hypoglycemic blood glucose values in an adult? Hypoglycemia: Low blood glucose level that results from too much insulin‚ not enough food‚ or excess activity. It is defined as the presence of Whipple’s triad: manifestations consistent with low blood glucose‚ a low plasma glucose concentration‚ and resolution of symptoms or signs after plasma glucose concentration is raised. Four common causes are: 1.) excess insulin‚ 2.) deficient intake or absorption

Due to this reason‚ an individual with diabetes does not take up glucose appropriately and glucose continues circulating in the blood (hyperglycaemia) harming tissues over time. This damage leads to acute health complications. The classic symptoms of diabetes mellitus are‚ Polyuria ‚Polydipsia ‚Polyphagia ‚lethargy and weight loss. There are many causes for high blood glucose levels in the body and so a number of types of diabetes exist. Diabetes mellitus occur throughout the world. Based on the

Fonseca (2006) defines type 2 diabetes mellitus as a disorder characterised by an insulin resistance followed by a progressive decline in β-cell function. Type 2 diabetics produce insulin but the target cells for insulin fail to respond‚ therefore blood glucose levels remain elevated (Campbell et al‚ 2008).For comparison purposes‚ type 1 diabetes is characterised by a deficiency of insulin‚ but for the purposes of this analysis‚ only type 2 diabetes will be explored. Over 90% of individuals‚ who suffer
