Diabetes Diabetes is a disease where the body can’t use the intake of sugar but instead sugar that is needed exits the body. There are many different types of diabetes, that can either be brought on by living a poor lifestyle or inherited down from previous generations. www.diabetescaregroup.info
Common Types of Diabetes • Type I Diabetes • Type II Diabetes • Diabetes Insipidus • Gestational Diabetes • Pre-Diabetes www.scienzavegetariana.it www.egh.org www.dva.gov.au/health/menshealth/07_diabetes.htm
History of Diabetes • 1952BC was the first time diabetes was ever mentioned • In the second century of AD the first full definition of diabetes was written • During the 1830’s diabetes was introduced to America through books • In 1866 diets were being made especially for diabetic people • In the 19th century encyclopaedias were starting to mention diabetes images.amazon.com
Causes of Diabetes Type I : The body’s pancreas stops making insulin, or doesn’t produce enough insulin that the body needs www.massgeneral.org Type II : The body’s cells lose their ability to use the insulin that is created Insipidus: Any kind of damage to the body that may affect the pituitary gland www.worsleyschool.net
Symptoms of Diabetes Common: Need to urinate a lot, having a large appetite and need for drinking Type I : Being hungry all the time, continuing to eat food, but at the same time loosing weight www.oznet.ksu.edu Type II : First signs are minor infections, feeling of general fatigue, blurred vision, and numbness in hands and feet Insipidus: Can become weak, and very dehydrated particleadventure.org
Diagnosis for Diabetes Type I : Urine and blood tests will be taken by a doctor Type II : Doctors will look for different signs like high blood pressure, less sensation in feet, high cholesterol levels, and broken blood vessels in eyes, also they will take a blood and urine test Insipidus: Urine test will first be taken by a doctor. The doctor will also ask the patient not to drink anything and will see how the person’s body reacts www.yourheart.org.uk
Treatment for Diabetes Type I : The person would need to gain insulin needed through another source www.kidzworld.com Type II : A person can help their diabetes with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Oral medications also may have to be taken, if medications don’t work the person will have to take insulin shots www.merckfrosst.ca Insipidus: Drinking is recommended to minimize dehydration, need to take a synthetic form of ADH ga.water.usgs.gov
Future Research for Diabetes • Not yet a cure for diabetes but researchers are looking into it • Trying to find a vaccine to give to babies when born so they can’t get diabetes • Looking for a way to have transplants in the future • Hoping to find other cells that don’t normally produce insulin to start so the body will have a backup source • Making a pill to replace insulin shots • Finding a way to take personal blood tests easier www.cnn.com
