Symptoms And Treatment Of Type II Diabetes

Bckground While modern lifestyles and medical care have certainly improved the longevity of humans in the developed world, and contributed to a greater quality of life scenario, those same lifestyles have engendered a number of issues that contribute to disease. Lack of proper diet, fast food, high fat and carbohydrate diets without adequate fruits and vegetables, lack of exercise, smoking and alcohol contribute to an epidemic of obesity which, in turn, contributes to a serious metabolic disorder called Diabetes Mellitus Type 2. While not managed by insulin injections, it is nevertheless quite serious and has a number of progressing symptoms that, if not treated properly, can result in cardiovascular, renal and neurological problems, as well as amputation, ocular issues, and even cognitive dysfunction.

Symptoms of gastroparesis include bloating, nausea, and early fullness while eating meals, heartburn, and epigastric pain. The most common symptom is early satiety, or the sensation of feeling full shortly after starting a meal. Nausea and vomiting are also common. A person with gastroparesis may vomit undigested food many hours after their last meal. Weight loss can occur due to poor absorption of nutrients, or taking in too few calories.

This essay will focus on type 2 diabetes, which is becoming one of the fast growing chronic health conditions in the United Kingdom (UK). Approximately 700 people are diagnosed with type 2 diabetes each day in the UK (Diabetes Uk, (2014)a). It is costing the NHS about £10billion pounds each year to treat diabetes along with its complication and it is expected to rise in the next couple of years (Diabetes UK, (2014)b).

Your written answers to the questions below are to be available to be sighted by your lecturer (not submitted to the School Office) at the start of the tutorial session. To be recorded as attending the tutorial requires that the lecturer deems that the worksheet has been satisfactorily attempted.

On July 6th, 2015, a 76-year-old female was admitted to the hospital. She was admitted with fever, weakness, and abdominal pain with recurrent episodes of nausea and vomiting. The patient has a complicated previous medical history of bilateral mastectomy, gastric adenocarcinoma, central line placement, partial gastrectomy, hepatomegaly, atelectasis, spleen enlargement, diverticula, cholestasis, gastronomy tube placement, and hepatotoxicity. A CT scan was performed upon her arrival to the hospital which found evidence of fluid overload and a coiled gastronomy tube in the left lower quadrant which was thought to be causing obstruction. She was scheduled to have her gastrostomy tube tested with a small bowel

Mr. Jones is a 68 year-old-man with a history of impaired glucose tolerance. His only other medical problem is hypertension treated with a small dose of angiotensin-converting enzyme inhibitor. He quit smoking 20 years ago. He has no dyslipidemia and has had stress electrocardiograms every 2 years with normal results. He does not use alcohol. Approximately 3 months ago, he noticed some burning and tingling in his feet. He admitted that he had not felt well as usual and that his walking was becoming more of a chore. He denied chest pain or shortness of breath. He denies any other symptoms had no fever, or chills, cough, blood stools, or hematuria. When seen in the office, he had gained 5 lbs.

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 or non-Hispanic blacks then any other ethnic group in NYC. The NYC Department of Health & Mental Hygiene (DOHMH) reports death rates among black New Yorkers are higher than among whites, regardless of neighborhood income. There is a significant number of non-Hispanic blacks afflicted in low-income neighborhoods due to the environmental injustices such as lack of fresh food options, neighborhood poverty, and limited recreational space for physical activity and exercise. With lifestyle modification as the mainstay of treatment, recognizing the environmental deficiencies and rectifying these problems at the local and federal levels will help to decrease this health disparity.

People who often experience a combination of gas, bloating, and other stomach problems may have a condition called Leaky Gut Syndrome. Leaky Gut Syndrome is a term that is used in the medical community as an indication that someone is experiencing frequent stomach problems, but the cause of those problems is unknown. Because the medical community knows little about how the gut works, the phrase “Leaky Gut Syndrome” is used to refer to the complications that people experience in their digestive system in a way that the cause of those problems is not definitive. The lack of data means this turns out to be a guessing game for the doctor who is face to face with a patient who has “Leaky Gut Syndrome”. Although there is a lack of evidence surrounding the condition, there are a few idea’s in the medical

Symptoms of early stage diabetes include frequent urination, excessive thirst, unexplained weight loss, and extreme

Lack of appetite: Based on the history taken from the patient, she has a lack of appetite, going so far as to consuming just a grilled chicken sandwich and water over the course of an entire day. The lack of appetite came around the same time as her fatigue and may play a role in it. Her

This was an interventional study to understand the effect of two low-cost interventions; yoga and peer support on the quality of life (QOL) of women with type 2 diabetes.

Lactose intolerance can be tested for by measuring the amount of hydrogen gas that is present when the person exhales. Dumping syndrome occurs when a person has had gastric surgery involving stomach staples or removal of a section of the stomach. Stomach contents are emptied too quickly into the duodenum, where they mix with pancreatic and intestinal juice which causes rapid digestion of carbohydrates resulting in glucose. There are two problems that arise from rapid digestion of carbohydrates. The first problem occurs because glucose is absorbed rapidly, which causes a spike blood glucose levels leading to a rise in insulin, resulting in blood glucose levels to drop; otherwise known as hypoglycemia. The second problem arises because glucose digestion occurs at a faster rate than absorption, leading to a buildup of glucose in the small intestine. An osmotic effect occurs where water enters the intestines resulting in sever diarrhea. An abundance of water is lost from the body due to the diarrhea causing a decrease in blood

Common symptoms of early dumping syndrome, which begins 15 to 30 minutes after a meal, include abdominal cramps, nausea, vomiting, and diarrhea. Other symptoms may include cardiovascular effects such as flushing, dizziness, heart palpitations, and a rapid heart rate. The small intestine also stretches, and water pulled out of the bloodstream is absorbed into the small intestine. Hormones released from the small intestine into the bloodstream then affect blood pressure. These symptoms are more prone to develop in people who have had surgery to remove part or all of the stomach, especially in procedures to reduce obesity. Thus, this condition may be present at any age. While not fatal, the condition can be anywhere from annoying to

This is a self-report case study of C.C., a 22-year-old Asian female, who is single, who was brought to the emergency room by her significant other, with a complaint of “sick with the flu”. In addition, she has been vomiting numerous times every day for the past eight days, wherein she has been taking antacids to stop nausea which afforded no relief. Moreover, unable to keep food or liquid down, related to nausea she continues to take antacids to the point that she over medicating herself. As a result of mentioned signs and symptoms, she became severely dehydrated causes her to collapsed at home and subsequently, was taken to emergency room. While in the emergency room, series of assessment and laboratory workup was ordered. One of the blood tests that was done was arterial blood gas, which resulted to metabolic acidosis (Marino, 2007).
