ront of screens (television, computer, game consoles ...), or eating between meals. It is therefore necessary to learn at an early age, and to continue throughout life, to have a varied, balanced diet, with regular meals during the day, so as not to be tempted by snacking. It is also important to learn how to take regular physical exercice. Indeed, even if it does not enable people to lose weight, it allows them to regulate their energy reserves by increasing the use of fats. As we mentioned previously, obesity can lead to diabetes type 2 disease. We will then now talk about that disfunction more in detail. What is type 2 diabetes ? Type 2 diabetes is a lifelong, chronic disease related to dysfunction in carbohydrates, protein and fat metabolism. Between 85 to 90% of diabetics suffer from type 2 diabetes. It is a …show more content…
The pancreas is below and behind the stomach. Insulin is needed to transport the blood sugar (glucose) into cells so that they can work normally. Inside the cells, glucose is stored and later used for energy. In type 2 diabetes, the fat, liver, and muscle cells do not respond correctly to insulin. This is called insulin resistance. The main consequence is that the blood sugar does not get into these cells to be stored for energy. In this case, when sugar cannot enter cells, a high level of sugar accumulates in the blood. This is called hyperglycemia and is a main characteristic of type 2 diabetes. The body is thus unable to use the glucose for energy. This leads to the symptoms of type 2 diabetes, such as fatigue, dehydratation, hyperglycemia, sight problems… Type 2 diabetes usually develops slowly over time; this is why it is called a progressive condition. Most people with the disease are overweight or obese when they are diagnosed. Increased fat makes it harder for the body to use insulin in a correct way. However, type 2 diabetes can also develop in people who are
Insulin deficiency refers to when a person fails to secrete adequate levels of insulin during digestion of meals (Naseem et al., 2012). Producing adequate levels of insulin is essential for being able to overcome the increase of glucose levels in the body while eating, this is achieved by sending signals to the liver to reduce its production of endogenous glucose. However, after prolonged exposure to this disease, this affects the ability of β-cells to respond to rises in glucose levels. (Mazze, Strock, Simonson, & Bergenstal, 2004, p. 80). Located in the pancreas, β-cells, or Beta cells, are responsible for the production and storage of insulin (Resnick, 2014).
Type 2 diabetes is a self-caused disease that prevents your body from using and producing insulin correctly which leads to high levels of sugar in the blood. When people consume too much or too little sugar, it affects their insulin resistance, which causes the pancreas to not maintain the right amount of insulin to keep the body's
With uncontrolled diabetes, glucose cannot move from the bloodstream into the muscles or fat cells. Leading inevitable to hyperglycemia. Hyperglycemia is a blood glucose level higher than the normal blood glucose level. Diabetes also leads to starvation of the cells in an increase and the breakdown of fat in protein as the cell seeks a source of fuel.
People with type 2 diabetes make insulin, but their cells don't use it as well as they should. Doctors call this insulin resistance. At first, the pancreas makes more insulin to try to get glucose into the cells. But eventually it can't keep up, and the sugar builds up in your blood instead. The symptoms of type 2 diabetes can be so mild you don't notice
Type 2 diabetes is a silent killer that often has no symptoms. Diabetes is a life-long chronic disease that affects your whole body. Being overweight, eating unhealthy, and not exercising leads to a lot of health complications that may increase your risk of type 2 diabetes. Lifestyle choices such as healthy foods and moderate physical activity are important for an individual to stay healthy. Practicing a healthy lifestyle is essential in preventing the development of type 2 diabetes.
Diabetes is a disease that causes their sugar levels to rise higher than average. Type 2 is the most common form of diabetes. It can affect the way our body handles glucose, a kind of sugar, in the patients bloodstream. Over time the pancreas isn't able to keep up and can't make enough insulin to keep their blood glucose at average levels.
In type 2 diabetes a person’s body produces insulin, but the pancreas does not produce enough insulin to maintain bodily functions or the body cannot use the insulin the way it is supposed to. When the body is unable to use insulin properly it is known as insulin resistance. “When there isn’t enough insulin or the insulin is not used as it should be, glucose (sugar) can’t get into the body’s cells” (WebMD, n.d.). When this happens glucose builds up in the blood and is not absorbed by the cells, which causes the body to not function properly. Some of the subsequent damage that can develop as a result of this
Type 2: In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas produces insulin, however the body doesn’t respond to it as it should, this is because the quantities of the insulin being produced are insufficient, or the body’s cells just don’t react to it and so the glucose levels in the system remain high. Type 2 diabetes is a ‘progressive disease’ and can get worse if it is not managed properly. Long term effects of high blood sugar can result in heart disease or kidney
Diabetes type 2 is a condition in which blood sugar levels are too high. After eating foods that contain carbohydrates, chemicals in the small intestine break down the carbohydrates into simple sugar molecules called glucose. The cell lining in the small intestine absorb the glucose, which then passes into the bloodstream. When the blood reaches the pancreas, beta cells inside the pancreas detect the rising glucose levels. To reduce the glucose level, beta cells release insulin into the bloodstream. As the blood circulates through the body, the insulin and glucose exit the bloodstream into tissue to reach the body’s cells. Most cells of the body have certain receptors on their surface that bind to the circulating insulin. Insulin acts like a key in a lick to open up the cell so that the circulating glucose can get inside the cell. The cell can use the glucose to produce the energy it needs to function properly. If a person has insulin resistance, insulin cannot unlock the cells to let glucose in because the locks, called receptors, are abnormal and/or missing. As a result, glucose is locked out of the cells. The amount of glucose builds up in the bloodstream in a condition called hyperglycemia. To compensate for hyperglycemia, the pancreas produces more and more insulin. Overworked beta cells try to keep with the demand, but gradually lose their ability to produce enough insulin.
Diabetes is a metabolic disease in which the body’s inability to produce any or enough insulin. This causes elevated levels of glucose in the blood. This can be a very life threatening disease if left un treated. One of the symptoms are hunger and fatigue. If your body can’t get enough insulin the glucose
Diabetes is a disease that cases blood glucose levels to rise higher than normal in the body. Type 2 diabetes is the most common form of diabetes when being compared to type 1diabetes. When blood sugars rises to levels higher than normal it is called hyperglycemia. Diabetes, type 2 can result in many different issues that affect the body. There are many complications that are linked with diabetes for example, higher risk
Diabetes mellitus, or better known as Diabetes, is an endocrine system disorder. In this case, your body is unable to produce enough or any insulin at all. Insulin, produced by the pancreas, has a very important role. When sugar is ingested from food, it is turned into energy for the cells in our body. Without insulin, the transfer of sugar into the cells would be compromised. Insulin is also vital to keep the right balance of sugar in the bloodstream (Hess-Fischl, 2015). If too much insulin is produced, blood sugar levels are decreased resulting in hypoglycemia. Hyperglycemia occurs when the blood sugar levels are increased (Sargis, n.d.).
Insulin is a hormone that is produced by thwe pancreas which is located across the back of the abdomen, behind the stomach.The pancrease allows your body to use glucose or sugar which is from the carbohydrates which are in the foods that you have eaten and use it as energy and also store it for later on use for energy , it would be stored as glucose.this energy can be storeed in the muscles , fat cells and liver insulin is used tokeep your blood sugar at a stable level which is not too high also known as hyperglycemia or too low hypoglycimia .
An organ called the pancreas makes insulin. The role of insulin is to move glucose from the bloodstream into muscle, fat, and liver cells, where it can be used as fuel.
Type 2 Diabetes is a lifestyle and genetic condition in which the body become resistant to the normal effects of insulin and gradually loses the capacity to produce enough insulin in the pancreas. It can also be due to an acclimation of fat in the liver and in the pancreas and if that fat is shifted then the body may be able to go back to normal in the early stages of T2 Diabetes. At first, the pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it, although over time, it isn’t able to keep up and can’t make enough insulin to keep your bodies glucose at normal levels. As this occurs the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin gradually wear out, meaning that by the time someone is diagnosed with T2 Diabetes, they have lost 50-70% of those cells that produce insulin. Consequently, diabetes T2 is a combination of ineffective insulin and not enough
