Speech On High Blood Sugar

Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the body’s inability to produce any or enough insulin. This causes elevated levels of glucose in the blood. This can be a very life threatening disease if left un treated. One of the symptoms are hunger and fatigue. If your body can’t get enough insulin the glucose

Many peoples can be aware and can be unaware that they have a blood sugar imbalance and will no realize an acute affect takes place. This is because a person blood sugar goes to high or too low. Blood sugar that is extremely elevated makes a person feel sick because of the high blood sugar causing a person to act stuporous (drunk like), or ever go in to a diabetic coma. Blood pressure that is to low make a person feels lethargic, irritable, dizzy, and experiences increased urination and increased thirst due to the bodies mechanism in which makes the body thrive for a source of sugar.

There are three types of diabetes: type 1diabetes and type 2 diabetes, and gestational diabetes. All three are chronic conditions that "affect how the body uses blood glucose" or blood sugar. The body needs glucose because it is "an important source of energy for the cells that make up an individual 's muscles and tissues" Individuals with diabetes have too much glucose in their blood, which will inevitably lead to serious problems with a person 's health. Since every cell, tissue, and muscle needs glucose to function properly, it is important for a person who shows signs and symptoms of diabetes to see a doctor

Diabetes (Diabetes Mellitus) is an unremitting disease where in the glucose in the blood is too high. Blood glucose level, or commonly known as the ‘blood sugar level’, are normally regulated by the hormone insulin that is made by the pancreas. Diabetes takes place when a problem in the hormone happens and how the body works. There are different types of diabetes – Type 1, Type 2, Impaired Glucose Metabolism, Gestational Diabetes and the Secondary Diabetes, but the two main

The kidneys respond to the high levels of glucose in the blood stream by flushing out the extra glucose in the urine. Another symptom of type 1 diabetes is polydipsia. This happens when you urinate so often that you lose too much water and become dehydrated. In addition, those who develop type 1 diabetes may also have polyphagia, an increase in appetite. Often they lose weight or fail to gain weight as he or she grows, in spite of having a good appetite. This happens due to the body breaking down the muscle and stored fat in the attempt to provide fuel to the hungry cells. Those with type 1 diabetes can often feel tired, because the body isn't using the calories they are eating, and turning it into the energy it needs. Finally, blurry vision can occur when sugar builds up in the eye this changes the shape of the lens and blurs your

2. Eating/Drinking. If you like to just go in and grabbing snacks at random time thats most likely why your blood sugar might be high I suggest that when youeat a meal eat to get full. If youre

A simple blood test to check blood glucose levels can show if you have any type of diabetes.

If you have diabetes you should know because at first you will start to feel ill. If you do start to feel ill you should visit the doctor. There are two main types of diabetes and

The state of which there is not enough sugar in the blood is called hypoglycemia. The state where there is too much sugar in the blood is called hyperglycemia. Both of these states of low and high sugar in the blood should be monitored in people that have the disease of diabetes. The symptoms of hypoglycemia are; blurred vision, headache, cold clammy skin, sweating and irritability. The symptoms of hyperglycemia are; hot dry skin, kussmaul’s respirations, vomiting, polyuria, polyphagia, and polydipsia. Hypoglycemia in the person with the disease of diabetes is caused by not enough sugar in the blood, or too much insulin in the blood. Hyperglycemia in the person with the disease of diabetes is caused by too much sugar in the blood stream (Stanbridge College, Diabetes Powerpoint pg. 8).

When i was having these symptoms i didnt know what was wrong with me so i had to go to the doctor to see what was wrong. I had to do blood work also unrinate in a cup so they can see if i had ketones in my unrine and that how the doctor found out i was a type 2 diabetic. According to “What are the signs and symptoms of type 2 diabetes” states “nearly 6 million people in the united states have type 2 diabetes and dont know it. Many have no signs or symptoms.

Type one diabetes is caused by a problem with the immune system, where it attacks the cells that create insulin (Bowers, 2015). Type two diabetes is much more prominent in adults, however it can occur in children. It is often brought on by obesity or an unhealthy lifestyle. This form of diabetes often begins with a resistance to insulin due to the liver not using insulin to provide energy for the body’s cells. Because of this, the body requires more insulin. The pancreas will try to compensate by producing more insulin, however it will eventually stop when the blood sugar levels increase (after eating). Two common symptoms are frequent dehydration sue to water trying to compensate for the high glucose levels and keep an even amount of water and glucose through a process called osmosis (Charlotte Eng, 2015). This, in turn causes frequent urination because of the need for more water. Another symptom is blurry eyesight. High blood sugar can cause the lens of the eye to swell which will impair the vision (William Hehn,

The estimated time for the teaching session is approximately 3 hours. In the first hour I will give a brief overview of what diabetes is and how it can be controlled with insulin. First I will include a very simple explanation of the pathophysiology of the disease and the signs and symptoms that are common. Next, I will explain that when controlling diabetes, her blood sugar can become too high or too low. High blood sugar, or hyperglycemia is caused by eating too much food, eating sugary foods, or by not taking insulin as prescribed. Signs of high blood sugar include: dry mouth, thirsty, having to urinate often, blurry vision, feeling tired, and weight loss. If high blood sugar is not treated, it can cause you to go into a coma (Aldridge, 2005 p.36-37). When you have high blood sugar, drink water and take your insulin according to the sliding scale your doctor has provided. Low blood sugar, or hypoglycemia, can occur

A sugar called glucose enters the bloodstream. Glucose is a source of fuel for the body.

Consistently high blood sugar levels should be avoided otherwise the systems regulating hormones become exhausted and cease to function effectively. One very common health condition that is brought about by elevated levels of blood sugar is diabetes. Unfortunately most people only find out these all-important facts about balancing blood sugar after it is too late. They are only left with the option of maintaining the condition

Diabetes symptoms start off with, urges to urinate, and increasing thirst and hunger. But when diabetes is not treated carfully and properly it can damage vital organs and lead to
