Overview : Diabetes Mellitus ( Dm )

Diabetes Mellitus (DM) or Type 2 Diabetes is seen as a metabolic disease that is categorized by abnormally high blood glucose or hyperglycemia. Diabetes Mellitus is also formerly known as noninsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and is the most common form of diabetes that is seen. Insulin is a hormone that is supplied to the body that allows us to efficiently use glucose as fuel. When carbohydrates are broken down into sugars in the stomach glucose enters the blood circulation simulating the pancreas…

Diabetes mellitus (DM) exists in 29.1 million people, or 9.3% of the United States population, and of these 29.1 million people, 65% will die from a form of heart disease. DM adds incremental risk to the development or subsequent exacerbation of heart failure; this holds true even after adjustment of common risk factors such as ischemic heart disease and hypertension. Furthermore, the prevalence of heart failure in patients with DM is between 10% and 22%; this is four times higher than the general…

Diabetes Mellitus(DM) is one of the diseases affecting vast population in the nation. This disease had been a problem since awhile and the populations affected are unimaginably high. Before I proceed, I would give an overview of the disease. DM happens as a result of the body’s inability to produce insulin called for by the system or unable to corporate properly to insulin. Indeed, if the insulin becomes incapacitated with regard to its physiological roles, the blood glucose will geometrically increase…

Diabetes or clinically referred to as Diabetes Mellitus (DM), is part of several groups of metabolic illnesses where there are high glucose levels for an extended period of time. Diabetes happens if there is not enough insulin produced by the pancreas or the body cells are not adequately responding to the insulin produced. (Ciccone, 2016 p510-511). Delving into its early history, diabetes was one of the early illnesses described, from a tablet found in Egypt from the year 1500 BC that stated…

Type II Diabetes Mellitus (DM) is a chronic disease that influences the physical and social aspects of life for millions of people living in New York City (NYC). The excess accumulation of glucose in the blood caused by this disease can lead to the breakdown of many organs in the human body leading to increased hospitalizations and mortality. Although diabetes is a manageable disease given the appropriate care and education, the disease and its complications disproportionately affect African-Americans…

indication of Diabetes Mellitus (DM). Keeping the level less than 7% could prevent complications. Hertotal cholesterol of 6.3 mmol/L indicated that her cholesterol level is too high and needed to be controlled. Mrs. Y.L. triglycerides ' levels of 5.5 mmol/L which is above the desirable level amount of 1.7 mmol/L. This is an indication of DM, but if caught early she will lower her risk of getting DM. Her LDL isvery high (4.1 mmol/L) which also put her atrisk for stroke and development of DM. Furthermore…

Diabetes Diabetes mellitus commonly known as diabetes is a metabolic disease in which there are high blood glucose levels (blood sugar levels) over a period of time. In addition, it is the failure of either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. There are two chronic types of Diabetes Mellitus; one is known as Type one Diabetes Mellitus (DM) which is the body’s inability to produce insulin (a hormone) that…

Introduction: Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar levels over an extended period of time. With symptoms including increased urination, thirst, and hunger, diabetes is mainly due to loss of insulin production in the pancreas or lack of response to insulin produced. As of 2015, nearly 415 million people worldwide have diabetes with the three main types being Type 1, Type 2, and gestational. 90% of all diabetes cases are Type 2 (T2D) which is…

Diabetes Mellitus “Diabetes mellitus (DM) is a chronic multisystem disease related to abnormal insulin production, impaired insulin utilization, or both” (Lazear, 2014, p. 1153). The two most common types of diabetes mellitus are known as type 1 and type 2. Type 1 has been previously referred to as “juvenile-onset diabetes” or “insulin-dependent diabetes” (Lazear, 2014). Even though type 1 can occur at any age, the primary age group is younger than 30 years old (Smeltzer, Bare, Hinkle, & Cheever…

DIABETES Diabetes mellitus (DM), referred to as diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which there are high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period. Symptoms of high blood sugar include frequent urination, increased thirst, and increased hunger. If left untreated, diabetes can cause many complications. Diabetes is due to either the pancreas not producing enough insulin or the cells of the body not responding properly to the insulin produced. There are three main types of diabetes mellitus…
