The cells of a diabetic have problems taking up glucose due to either the lack of insulin or a resistance to insulin. Instead, the sugar remains in the blood, resulting in the rise of blood glucose levels. The rise in blood glucose levels results in the disease that is broken down into two main types, type one diabetes and type two diabetes. Type one diabetes is an autoimmune disease, meaning a disease in which the body 's immune system attacks healthy cells, that causes the insulin producing beta

Diabetes mellitus type 2, also know as type 2 Diabetes or noninsulin dependent diabetes, is a disease that effects the body systemically. Type 2 diabetes is a disorder in which cells become resistant to insulin and can no longer bind it properly to reduce blood sugar. The result of this is elevated glucose levels in the circulating blood that leads to endothelial injury in all regions of the body. Primary damages occur in the kidneys, cardiovascular, and digestive systems. According to “Annual Number

Diabetes (DM) is a metabolic disorder affecting the endocrine system, the physiognomies consist of either the inability to properly produce and/or use insulin by the body; resulting in unregulated blood sugar (BS) or glucose. This is typically a chronic condition, but there are some outliers that may yield the same results, such as pregnancy, surgery, medication regimen, pancreatic disease and infections. A basic review of the digestive process will help us in understanding this illness; the metabolism

Treatments There is a TB vaccine (bacilli calmette-guerin, or BCG) that is used in many countries to prevent TB. BCG is almost never used in the U.S., since the risk of getting TB is low. The vaccine is not very effective in adults and can cause a false positive tuberculin skin test, making it very difficult to use the tuberculin skin test to check people for TB. The vaccine is recommended for infants in parts of the world where TB is common. Treatment for TB is often a success, but it is a long

In 2015, the American Cancer Society estimated about 26,850 new cases of multiple myeloma in the United states (“Statistics on myeloma” n.d). After leukemia and lymphoma, multiple myeloma is the third most common blood cancer in the United States. Multiple myeloma is a cancer which many tumors are scattered in places of the bone marrow. The name myeloma comes from the greek roots myelos (bone marrow) and oma (tumor)(“Progress in treating multiple myeloma” 2010). This disease comes from the inability

The microvascular pathologies make diabetes a leading cause of blindness, end-stage renal disease and a variety of unbearable neuropathies (Control et al., 1993; Turner et al., 1998). Diabetic nephropathy Diabetic nephropathy (DN) is major microvascular complication of diabetes

This piece of work was intriguing because it is two Vietnam veteran’s explanation of how Agent Orange was viewed at during their time at war and what the effects brought after the war. The retired Air Force veterans shared their experiences with the chemical weapon. Huge Kendall and Ed Rodgers were the two men that watched the U.S. spray down the fields with the chemical substance. Directly from the source, Kendall said, "’We'd watch them drop that stuff up in the mountains,’ Kendall said. ’We didn't

INTRODUCTION Roughly 25% of diabetic patients experience Diabetic foot ulcer infection during their lifetime due to poor blood glucose control. Diabetes mellitus is a major non-communicable diseases and public health problem [1]. According to the International diabetes federation, approximately 69.2 million people affected nationwide and worldwide 415 million people having diabetes [2]. The risk factors of foot ulcer are 10 times more predominant in diabetic patients as compared to without having
