Cardiovascular Disease: Type 1 Diabetes

Cardiovascular diseases has affected large number of population worldwide and in developed countries it is responsible for half of all deaths, coronary artery disease (CAD) alone is responsible for 1 of every 4.7 deaths in the United States (Eichner et al., 2002).

Type 1 diabetes is well known disease, some of us or someone we know are the victim of this chronic illness. There are controversial explanation such as, genetic susceptibility and in contrary, environmental factors that are viral infection, prenatal and neonatal influence, nitrate in drinking water, (Norris et al, 2003) early exposure to cow’s milk towards why the immune system destroy the insulin producing beta cell. In this essay, I will be discussing about the pathophysiology of type 1 diabetes and how it affect the homeostasis of our normal functioning body. In subject to Carol, I will be explaining the signs and symptoms of the illness and also the possible effects to her developing foetus and herself.

"Diabetes mellitus is not a single disease but a group of disorders with glucose intolerance in common" (McCance 674). Diabetes mellitus is a metabolic disorder characterized by hyperglycemia (increased blood sugar) and results from defective insulin production, secretion, and utilization. There are many forms of diabetes. "Diabetes increases the risk of heart and blood vessel disease, amputation, infections, kidney damage, eye problems (including blindness), and nerve malfunction" (Husain). I will

Heart disease - uncontrolled diabetes can put the diabetic at a high risk for stroke, heart attack, and high blood pressure.

Diabetes mellitus, is the fancy way to say diabetes but many people referred it as diabetes. Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases which can cause you to have high blood sugar levels over a long period. The two main types of diabetes are type 1 and type 2. Type 1 results from the pancreas's failure to produce enough insulin. This form was previously referred to as "insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus" or "juvenile diabetes". The cause is unknown. Type 2 begins with insulin resistance, a condition in which the cells fail to respond to insulin properly. There is no known preventive for type 1 diabetes, Or Type 2 diabetes which accounts for 85-90% of all cases can often be prevented or delayed by maintaining a normal body weight, engaging

The organ or organ system that this disease targets is the body’s blood circulatory system, as it has something to do with the amount of sugar that is in the body. There are a whole range of symptoms that come with the fact that your body has abnormally high sugar levels. One of the symptoms is that your urine will also have high levels of sugar. However, this is a mainly harmless symptom. Some of the more dangerous symptoms include, when not treated properly, blindness, heart disease, a higher chance of stroke, and vascular disease that often leads to even more serious effects. These effects include gangrene and because of that, lead to the need of amputation.

Diabetes is a disease that affects how the body uses glucose, it is a sugar that is the body's main source of fuel. In type one diabetes glucose cannot flow through the body's cells where it's needed. People with type 1 diabetes have a greater risk for certain health problems. A person with diabetes has to check

Cardiovascular disease- Diabetes drastically increases the risk of different cardiovascular manifestations, such as coronary artery disease and affiliated chest pain (angina), stroke, tightening of arteries (atherosclerosis), and heart attack. Having diabetes mellitus, raises the likely hood of having heart disease or stroke.

In each individual human’s time on earth normally there is a great chance of some sort of tragedy to occur, while possibly in many different varieties. This could either be trigged by oneself or be from another individual’s decision. Although there are some situations that are out of one’s control. Leaving those affected the responsibility of taking charge of the problem and making the best of the situation. Some situations offer minimal risk to the health of an individual or others. There are specific cases that it is the opposite and the situation dealt is terminal or completely life altering. Health related issues and many other opportunities are restricted by such a diagnoses of type 1 diabetes. This situation is all too familiar to a personal experience in my own life. I have been diagnosed with an incurable disease called, type 1 diabetes. However this is an uncommon disease to affect people.

Unhealthy lifestyles can lead to many life threatening diseases. One example of a life threatening disease is diabetes mellitus. It is a disorder caused by the inability to make or respond to insulin, a hormone that prompts cells to take in glucose from the bloodstream. It can occur in several forms, but the two main types are Type I and Type II diabetes. Most cases of Type I diabetes happens in children and adolescents. It is caused by “autoimmune destruction of the islets of Langerhans of the pancreas.” The body cannot produce insulin. Type II diabetes is more popular. It’s responsible for 90% of the cases of diabetes. Type II diabetes occurs when the body cannot use insulin properly. It results either in insulin deficiency or insulin resistance

Diabetes is a heterogeneous group of metabolic diseases characterised by high levels of blood glucose (hyperglycaemia) due to defects in the β cell function in the pancreas which is impacting the insulin secretion or insulin action, resulting in the inability to self-regulate the levels of blood glucose in the body (Stumvoll et al.,2005). Short term symptoms of hyperglycaemia include: polyuria , polydipsia, blurred vision, however the chronic effects of hyperglycaemia are associated with long term organ dysfunction and damage, especially the blood vessels, retina in the eye, kidneys and heart (Uazman et al., 2014). Diabetes has become a world-wide concern due to its high prevalence in the world (in 2015, 415 million of people were estimated

Diabetes is when a person has too much sugar in the blood and the body can not regulate it. Diabetes can affect all ages from children to adults. There are commonly known types of diabetes which are type 1 and type 2. A person might not know that they have diabetes because it is not always recognized. There are many warning signs that you may never even thought about. Some warning signs are becoming extremely thirsty or hungry even after you just had something to eat or drink. Most people end up losing weight no matter how much they eat. They tend to go to the bathroom a lot. Although diabetes can be a dangerous and even life threatening. To help control diabetes, it would help if you eat healthy and exercise.

Diabetes may damage blood vessels, nerves, the heart, eyes, and the kidneys. What causes the disease is your body changes most digested food into glucose. Then, insulin allows the glucose to enter all the cells of your body and use as energy. Insulin is a hormone naturally produced by the pancreas. There is also type two diabetes, which is the pancreas doesn't make enough insulin or the body's cells can't use insulin properly, which causes glucose to build up in your blood instead of moving into the cells. Symptoms of both diabetes are extreme hunger and thirst, frequent urination, unexplained weight loss, blurry vision, sores or bruises, and dry itchy skin. Diabetes cannot be cured, but can be prevented by exercising, a low-fat diet, by maintaining a healthy weight, and taking medication when

Diabetes is a disease that causes the body inability to produce any or correct amount of insulin due to the tremendous levels of glucose in the human body. Diabetes is silent killer that attacks the blood vessels and overall damages the body ability to function correctly. To know if people have diabetes they would have symptoms of increased thirst, urination, fatigue, blurred vision, in most situations there meant not be any symptoms. Ways for people to avoid diabetes is exercise, healthy diet, limit the amount of red meat and processed meat, control the intake of sugary foods. There are two types of diabetes type one and type two diabetes. To treat type one and type two diabetes they are prescribed to

Type 1 Diabetes mellitus is characterised by the genetic or autoimmune destruction or deficiency of the pancreatic b cells that produce insulin and usually progresses rapidly that it is often diagnosed in childhood. Individuals diagnosed with Type 1 diabetes, present with signs of pancreatic b-cell destruction prior to diagnosis (Armstrong 2014).
