  1. Okay, so my name is Ellis Later and this is
  2. my Unit 14 Project on Diabetes.
  3. So first question asked, what is diabetes?
  4. So diabetes is a disease that occurs when a person's
  5. blood sugar gets too high.
  6. Blood glucose is the body's main source of energy and
  7. it comes from the food you eat.
  8. There is a hormone that the pancreas secretes, known as
  9. insulin, that also helps the glucose from the food you
  10. eat into your cells to be used for energy.
  11. Sometimes when your body doesn't produce enough insulin, glucose stays
  12. in the blood and doesn't reach the body cells.
  13. There's also the path of physiology of diabetes.
  14. Um The path of physiology is also known as the
  15. physiological processes associated with disease or injury.
  16. And the path the path of physiology of diabetes involves
  17. plasm concentrations of glucose that signals the central nervous system
  18. to mobilize energy reserves, basically known as the body's ability
  19. to utilize insulin.
  20. The next question asks between the type one and type
  21. two differences.
  22. So type one diabetes is more of an auto immune
  23. response. Um This reaction attack cells that produce insulin in
  24. the pancreas.
  25. This is caused by inherited genes and sometimes environmental factors.
  26. Tattoo is when your body becomes resistant to insulin.
  27. This is caused by either genetics and or lifestyle choices.
  28. According to Northwest primary care.
  29. Type One effects about 5 to 10% of americans in
  30. Type two.
  31. Effects 90 to 95% of americans.
  32. Um but how do you know which you have?
  33. So symptoms include urinating frequently.
  34. You're very thirsty, hungry or fatigued and you also have
  35. can have blurry vision On the most common symptoms include
  36. irritability, mood changes and unintentional weight loss.
  37. The main difference between them is that the people with
  38. type two generally won't have symptoms for years and develop.
  39. They develop over time, but with Type one and you
  40. develop symptoms quickly and usually develops in adolescence.
  41. Yeah, the next slide talks about how genetics plays a
  42. role in um diabetes.
  43. So both types of diabetes are inherited by genetics, but
  44. we still don't know the direct cause.
  45. Um although there's still differences between how the types are
  46. passed down.
  47. Um gene variant specifically associated with type one include the
  48. um H.
  49. L. A.
  50. D. Q.
  51. A. One, H.
  52. L. A.
  53. D. Q.
  54. B. One in the H.
  55. L. A.
  56. D. R.
  57. B. One jeans according to medicine plus.
  58. Um type one diabetes is passed down through generations, but
  59. the inheritance pattern is unknown even though we still have
  60. these gene variants, um Type two diabetes does not have
  61. a clear path of inheritance, but at least one family
  62. member, like a parent or sibling has the disease.
  63. Um The risk increases with the amount of family members
  64. affected. This is probably because of genetic factors that have
  65. passed down by family members through generations.
  66. The next slide describes the impact on the body.
  67. Um, it's more of a negative impact.
  68. There are long term effects that come with diabetes.
  69. Um these include damage to large blood vessels of the
  70. heart, brain and legs, otherwise known as macro vascular complications.
  71. There's also damage to small blood vessels that can cause
  72. problems to the eyes, kidneys, feet, and nerves, or otherwise
  73. known as micro vascular complications along with physical effects of
  74. living with either type.
  75. Um, can take a toll on a person's mental health.
  76. Um, yeah, it can lead to stress, anxiety and depression,
  77. which can affect your glucose levels and over time your
  78. overall health.
  79. They're also potentially harmful for other parts of the body,
  80. such as the digestive system, your skin, your sexual organs,
  81. teeth and gums, and your immune system.
  82. What? So who is at the who has the biggest
  83. risk of developing diabetes?
  84. Um Usually people of age, ages of 55 years or
  85. older. Although you can develop them earlier if you have
  86. a family history of diabetes, either from your parents, grandparents,
  87. great grandparents, etcetera.
  88. Or if you are overweight or over or obese, um,
  89. you're also more likely to have diabetes if you are
  90. physically inactive and if you have health problems like high
  91. blood pressure.
  92. There have also been studies that show diabetes are most
  93. common in certain races, such as african, american, hispanic, latino,
  94. american, indian, asian, american or pacific islander.
  95. These are the most common races to have diabetes.
  96. Finally, the last question asks about the lifestyle choices of
  97. people with diabetes and how it affects them.
  98. So lifestyle choices may not play as important of a
  99. role as genetics, but they do have a certain impact
  100. on the development of diabetes.
  101. One choice that can reduce the risk is physical exercise,
  102. exercising every day can help people susceptible.
  103. two diabetes avoid type two.
  104. Um Planning healthy meals containing an acceptable amount of sugar
  105. is incredibly beneficial, meals with high fat foods and zero
  106. fire can increase the likelihood of type two diabetes.
  107. Lastly not doing both of these examples can lead to
  108. obesity. Being overweight, can make you more susceptible susceptible to
  109. becoming insulin resistant and can lead to other health conditions.
  110. Um That is my presentation and here is my were
  111. excited. I hope you enjoyed.
  112. Thank you.
