In this report, the condition of diabetes mellitus type 2 (Type 2 diabetes) will be examined. The first part of this report will focus on the aetiology of the condition, explaining how and why type 2 diabetes develops in patients. The pathophysiological changes attributed to the disease will then be outlined, with the major changes that contribute to the development of the condition being highlighted. The report will then conclude with a description of how these pathophysiological alterations produce

Diabetes Being diagnosed with diabetes can be a scary time. There is a lot of information to learn and many treatment options to choose. Learning what diabetes is and what causes it is a good place to start so an informed decision can be made. Diabetes is what happens when the body has elevated blood glucose with little to no insulin to able to escort the glucose into the body 's cells. Glucose is used by the cells to make energy and the only way for cells to receive glucose is by insulin unlocking

Diabetes is one of they many health issues Americans face. If left untreated Diabetes can cause lasting effects on the person with the diagnosis. Close monitoring of blood glucose levels and patient teaching on management of the disease is critical in positive patient outcomes. Diabetes can cause major dysfunctions in several body systems and even death if left untreated. In this paper I will discuss diabetes Mellitus and the impact it can have on a person life and well-being. Diabetes Mellitus is

Necrotizing fasciitis, more commonly know as the “flesh-eating disease,” is a potentially deadly infection if left untreated or misdiagnosed (2). The infection begins in the skin’s superficial fascia, a band of connective tissue that stabilizes muscles and other internal organs. Fascia is very widespread throughout the human body, providing a basic mechanism for the bacteria to grow and spread rapidly. Once anchored in the fascial planes, the infecting bacteria cause the surrounding skin, fat

Type 1 diabetes mellitus (T1DM) is a serious, chronic, life-long condition resulting in hyperglycemia due to destruction of pancreatic beta-islet cells as a result of auto-reactive T-cells targeting self-antigens (Caroll et al., 2016). In contrast to type 2 diabetes, it is not the insensitivity to insulin but lack of insulin causing hyperglycemia that marks micro- and macrovascular complications in multiple organs over time (Miller at al., 2015). A Scottish cohort (Livingstone et al., 2010) estimated
