Diabetes Mellitus: Type 1 Diabetes Research Paper
11/16/2014
Diabetes Mellitus also known as—Juvenile Onset Diabetes, Type 1 Diabetes, and Insulin Dependent Diabetes. It is a chronic autoimmune disease described by high blood glucose levels due to insulin levels being inadequate to maintain normal glucose levels. This research paper will discuss the symptoms and signs, etiology, who it triggers, how it happen, and treatment for Type 1 Diabetes.
Symptoms and signs of Type 1 Diabetes are hyperglycemia, polydipsia, glycosuria, and diabetic ketoacidosis. Hyperglycemia may lead to malaise, headaches, and weakness. As well as diabetes is known to cause excessive thirst, also known as polydipsia. Glycosuria, sugar in the urea, causes frequent urination. To sum up, severe dehydration, abdominal pain, rapid breathing, a fruity odor on the breath, weight loss, drowsiness, and in more severe cases, coma are all caused by diabetic ketoacidosis. Causes are questionable when talking about Type 1 dabetes.
Still questioning true causes -- viral and environmental trigger in genetically susceptible people to cause an immune reaction, this is thought to be a cause of Type 1 diabetes, but the actual cause is still unknown. Still being researched, scientists have identified genes, or gene regions, associated with this disease; including HLA, Human Leukocyte Antigen. Type 1 diabetes starts by an environmental or viral factor that possibly modifies a gene.…

Diabetes Mellitus : Type 1, Type 2, And Gestational Diabetes
3102 Words | 13 PagesIntroduction Diabetes Mellitus, also known commonly as diabetes, is a chronic condition in which the body doesn’t produce or misuses insulin in the body. There are different classifications of diabetes: Type 1, Type 2, and gestational diabetes. Type 1 is when the body does not produce any insulin. It is usually diagnosed in children and young adults. Type 2 is when the body doesn’t use insulin properly and can develop in anyone and seen at any age. Both types require strict management which…

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus ( T1dm )
2058 Words | 9 PagesType 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) results from a defect in insulin secretion in the body. T1DM may happen at any age and it is one of the most common chronic diseases of childhood and adolescents (Misso, Egberts, Page, O’Connor, & Shaw, 2010). Long-term complications of T1DM include retinopathy, nephropathy, neuropathy, and cardiovascular disease. There is no prevention or cure for T1DM, and the treatment is a life-long insulin replacement regimen. Proper and accurate glycemic control is critical to…

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus And Mellitus
1711 Words | 7 PagesIntroduction: Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus is a disease that occurs when insulin-producing beta cells of the pancreas are damaged or are being destroyed (Mahan, Escott-Stump & Raymond, 2012). The gradual destruction of the beta cells of the pancreas usually leads to complete insulin deficiency, which ultimately manifests itself in the following symptoms at clinical onset: “high blood glucose (hyperglycemia), frequent urination (polyuria), excessive thirst (polydipsia), and a significant amount of weight…

Diabetes Mellitus Type 1 And Type 2
1675 Words | 7 Pagesto The American Diabetes Association, “Diabetes mellitus is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by hyperglycemia resulting from defects in insulin secretion, insulin action, or both. The chronic hyperglycemia of diabetes is associated with long-term damage, dysfunction, and failure of various organs, especially the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels” (p.1). There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2. Insulin management is needed for type 1 diabetes, because it is…

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus ( Iddm )
1599 Words | 7 PagesType 1 Diabetes Mellitus, also known as insulin dependent diabetes mellitus (IDDM) is destroys pancreatic beta-cells, leading to partial or total loss of insulin production (Merger, et al 170). The exact cause is not known, but the destruction is triggered as an autoimmune response which could be due to the stressors from environment and genetics (Merger, et al 170). “Type 1 diabetes is a chronic condition in which there is no cure, nor prevention at the current time” (Merger, et al 170). Most…

Types Of Diabetes Mellitus : Insulin Dependent ( Type 1 )
1778 Words | 8 PagesMaggie Roman MED 2056 Cohort FT31 Diabetes Mellitus Mrs. Annabelle June 29, 2015 The human body achieves homeostasis through the coordination of organs and different systems throughout the body. In particular, the endocrine system plays a functional role in regulating the body’s physiological activities via chemical substances, known as hormones. The endocrine cells secrete hormones in response to body signals in a negative feedback loop, which is a self-regulatory response intended…

Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus
1548 Words | 7 PagesType 1 diabetes mellitus is an autoimmune disease that results in insulin dependence due to failure of secretion of the hormone insulin by beta cells in the pancreas. Type 1 diabetes usually manifests in childhood, < 20 years of age – the reason for which it was formerly termed juvenile diabetes, and is more prevalent in Caucasians then in any other ethnicity (Diabetes Basics, n.d.). The key to proper management is early detection, patient education, and most importantly patient compliance. The…
