Q: What complications or disease can arise from Diabetes Mellitus Type 1, child onset?
and how does diabetes cause these complications or diseases?
A: kidney problems,blindness,poor circulation,poor wound healing,amputation of legs, arms,feet and heart problems.
Q: Diabetes Mellitus type 1 ( IDDM)?
what is the age of the oldest person that you know of that has/had Diabetes type 1?
what complications (if any) did they suffer from?
did the complications cause their death, if they have already died?
A: There are some interesting findings on how chocolate can help with diabetes, type 1 & 2.
RAW chocolate helps with inflammation of the cells. Through clinical trials they determined that the cells became more receptive to insulin (type 2) and that the beta cells(in the pancreas?) began to secrete some insulin again (type 1).
Chocolate is amazing in it's raw natural form. The commercial candy companies took a perfect product and messed it all up.
It must be raw (uncooked). Heating it kills most of the beneficial nutrients.
This chocolate is raw, it is not bitter. It is wonderful.
My niece has type 1 and has added this to her diet.
I firmly believe that our bodies naturally crave to be balanced and healthy. We need to find the right things to help with that process.
Also, Yes, this chocolate is recommended for diabetics.
No refined sugar, no caffeine, no preservatives, no waxes or fats added.
They combine the two most powerful antioxidant foods on the earth, cocoa and acai berry.

Q: what is the defect in the disease, diabetes mellitus Type 1?
does anyone know? ty
A: The defect in Type 1 Diabetes is that your pancreas produces either very very little insulin or no insulin at all. You need insulin to control your blood glucose (sugar) levels. This is vital to living. Type 1 Diabetes is also sometimes called childhood diabetes because it is often diagnosed early in life because you are either born with it or it develops very early on. It is not to be confused with Type 2 Diabetes, which often develops later in life, and is often developed as a result of poor health and eating habits and other things such as being overweight or clinically obese. Type 2 diabetes can be controlled sometimes with diet and exercise, or with pills. Doesnt necessarily need a shot and not all Type 2 diabetics need to take insulin. Type 1 diabetics MUST take insulin to live. They most likely have to take it in the form of a shot, sometimes once a day but alot of the times it's multiple times a day. They must monitor their diet and health very closely. They often develop problems associated with the disease (i.e. problems with eyesight and blindness, renal insufficiency/failure, foot problems that can lead to the amputation of lower extremities) if it is not controlled carefully. Hope this helps you out.
Q: Explain why patients with diabetes mellitus type 1 lose weight?
A: Weight gain or loss. Because your body is trying to compensate for lost fluids and sugar, you may eat more than usual and gain weight. But the opposite also can occur. You may eat more than normal, but still lose weight because your muscle tissues don't get enough glucose to generate growth and energy. This is especially true if you have type 1 diabetes, in which very little sugar gets into your cells. In fact, most people with type 1 diabetes are at or below their normal weight.

Q: what is the connection of diabetes mellitus type 2 to community acquired pneumonia?
community acquired pneumonia
A: The immune system of diabetic patients is a little impaired, leaving them susceptible to infections and they have poorer circulation than average, making it harder for them to send white blood cells into an area to fight infection and send red cells, sugars and amino acids into an area for repair and rebuilding.
Q: Diabetes mellitus type 1 is marked by low insulin levels. In the liver, low insulin levels lead to increased?
glucose due to the lack of conversion into glycogen. In fat and muscle cells, low insulin levels lead to increased glucose levels due to the lack of glucose transporters on the cell surface. Which of the following scenarios provides the best explanation for this?
a) Insulin uses different receptors to elicit different responses in liver as compared to muscle/fat cells
b) The insulin pathway that activates glucose transporters in muscle/fat cells deactivates glycogen biosynthesis in the liver
c) Muscle/fat cells and liver cells have different transducers and responders available to be utilized by the insulin pathway.
d) GLUT4 is only found in liver cells
e) Liver cells use G-protein coupled receptors while muscle/fat cells use tyrosine kinase receptors
A: In the absence of insulin, glucose remains in the blood and causes hyperglycemia (high blood sugar). The liver is unable to metabolize the glucose and turns on the pathways for glycogenolysis and gluconeogenesis. These pathways then produce additional glucose from glycogen, amino acids and glycerol.
So in a nutshell the answer to your question is B.
Q: how to manage a case with uncontroled diabetes mellitus type one on big dose of insulin? thanks?
A: Type 1 diabetes is not managable on one dose of insulin. If you want to manage it well, it takes either a pump, or at least three shots a day. One shot will lower you some, but not acurately take care of the spikes through eating, or the lows through exercise, since you get the same amount of insulin all day. Multiple daily shots or a pump allows you to change the amount you have at different times of day, more closely mimicking a well pancreas.
Q: give the main signs,symtoms,causes and treatment of these diseases.Asthama,Diabetes mellitus type 2.?
A: All foods are converted into glucose by the body.
Fats in 6-8 hours or more, Proteins (meat,eggs,beans) in 3-4 hours, and Carbohydrates in 30 minutes. Carbohydrates include starches such as rice, pasta, breads and cereals.
A proper diet will combine fats, carbohydrates, and proteins at each meal, to provide nutrients and create an even release of glucose into the blood. Whole Grain carbohydrates turn into sugar slowly and help keep the blood sugar stable.
Avoid sugar and high amounts of carbohydrates. Eat moderate, balanced meals at regular times. Losing weight helps control Diabetes.
Q: If Type 1 diabetes mellitus depend on external insulin for control, what did they do before insulin discovered?
did people just die???
A: Check out diabetes history on line.
It is very interesting.
Prior to the 1920s, kids with diabetes could only eat veggies boiled and rinsed 3X.
They usually starved to death.
I have a first addition book on diabetes by Dr. Joslin who clearly states that medication is of no help in controlling diabetes.
Q: Discuss the similarities and differences in caring for Type I diabetes mellitus and Type II diabetes mellitus.?
A: Type 1 diabetes mellitus is treated with insulin (because it is caused by absolute insulin deifciency)
Type 2 diabetes is treated with oral hypoglycaemics (glitazones, sulphonylureas, metformin and thiazolinediones - which all work by affecting hepatic gluconeogenesis or increasing the sensitivity of cells to insulin). Several other drugs are available.
Both conditions require superb control of diet and regular blood glucose checks are essential. Patients should stop smoking, maintain a healthy BMI (weight loss can improve Type 2) and take care of feet (complications can arise).
Diet is essential in both types and patients are encouraged to reduce fat intake (mono and polunsaturates are preferred to saturated fats; the former aid weight loss) and consume starchy and high fibre foods in preference to simple sugars (to prevent violent swings in blood glucose). Meals should be small and synchronised with insulin.
Patient education is also important and concerns the complications of diabetes, it's emergencies and about the importance of maintaining normoglycaemia (especially compliance with treatment i.e. never miss an insulin dose etc.).
Hope that helps.
Q: why are people with diabetes mellitus (specifically type 2) immunocompromised?
A: A couple reasons. One is that the high blood sugar is really attractive to and feeds bacteria, so people w DM get infections easier, faster and worser :) Also, over time the body nerves get poisoned so they don't fight as well - like developing fevers to kill off infections. And the sugars saturate the proteins in the blood that do signalling, so your body doesn't send the fighting cells to kill infecting organisms, AND the fighting cells aren't as good at fighting! THEN Diabetes attacks the kidneys, and all of the above gets worse because toxins build up in the blood and interfere with the millions of chemical reactions that generally kill little buggers!! LOUSY DISEASE! Keep your waist LESS THAN 35 inches at all times to not develop DM!
Q: Discuss the patient’s diagnosis of Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. How would you diagnosis a child with this?
Case Study #1: Diabetes
Hannah is a 10-year-old girl who has recently been diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus. She is a 4th grade student at Hendricks Elementary School. Prior to her diagnosis, Hannah was very involved in sports and played on the girls volleyball team. Her mother is concerned about how the diagnosis will affect Hannah.
1. Discuss the patient’s diagnosis. Include a definition of the actual disease or condition.
Type 1 Diabetes Mellitus once known as “juvenile onset” diabetes or “insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus,” is a chronic disorder of carbohydrate, fat, and protein metabolism caused by inadequate production of insulin by the pancreas or faulty use of insulin by the cells. Insulin is a hormone needed to convert sugar (glucose) into energy. Although type 1 diabetes can develop at any age, it typically appears during childhood or adolescence.
2. Identify the factors which could have caused or lead to the particular disease or condition.
3. Describe the signs and symptoms which are associated with the disease or condition.
4. Discuss the diagnostic testing that is usually performed in order to formally diagnose the particular disease or condition.
5. Identify the appropriate treatment (including therapies, medications, etc) which the patient may be prescribed for his/her particular diagnosis.
6. Discuss potential barriers to therapy which the patient may experience due to their unique situation.
7. Discuss alternative treatments which may also benefit the patient.
8. Describe the typical prognosis for a patient with the disease or condition.
9. Identify patient teaching which would benefit the patient in your case study.
I have to do a paper for school and looking for a good website to answer these question.
A: WWW.diabetes.org is the official website for the American Diabetes Assoc.
Q: Can you join the Peace Corps if you have Diabetes Mellitus(also know as type 1)?
I would like to join the peace corps but i don't know if they allow diabetics? I have my diabetes under control, but i know i still can't serve in the armed forces. Anyone know the Peace Corps' stance?
I have it under control, I was just wondering if it was an issue, and if Insulin would be available wherever I would go? I definitely don't want to be caught without access to my medicine in a new country.
A: - Yes, you can!
