Question
READ THIS TEXT TO ANSWER THE QUESTION: A student drinks 3 bottles of arizona ice tea everyday during school. A 16.9 fl oz bottle contains 34 grams of sugar(8 teaspoons) In your answer you must: 1. Discuss how multiple factors, such as diet and genetics, play a role in the development of diabetes? 2. Discuss how type 2 diabetes results in a disruption of glucose regulation 3. Describe some reasons why type 2 diabetes is seen more frequently in younger individuals. 4.USE THE TERMS: glucose, insulin, and regulation. READ THE ARTICLE TO HELP YOU ANSWER THE QUESTION
Part 3: Read the text below then answer the question in paragraph form.
Glucose Regulation and Diabetes
CLICK HERE FOR AUDIO OF TEXT (Click download -large file)
After eating carbohydrate foods (ex.bread, pasta, sugary foods), the level of glucose in the blood rises. Glucose is important to the
cells of the body, particularty the brain, as an energy source. However, the level of glucose in the blood must be regulated so that it does not
rise too high. When the bloodstream contains glucose the pancreas is stimulated to produce the hormone insulin. Insulin causes glucose to
be usable by the body cells and excess glucose is stored in the liver and muscles as glycogen. If the body later needs glucose and none is
available in the blood, the liver can convert glycogen back into gluCose.This process is a feedback mechanism to maintain homeostasis of
blood sugar.
Diabetes is a disease that attects how Ihe body uses glucose. After you eat a meal, your body
breaks down the foods you eat into glucose and other nutrients, which are then absorbed into the
Healthy Individual
bloodstream from the gastrointestinal (digestive) tract. The glucose level in the blood rises aftera
meal and triggers the pancreas to make the hormone insulin and release it into the bloodstream. But
in people with diabetes, the body either can't make or can't respond to insulin property.
Insulin works like a key that opens the doors to cells and allows the glucose in. Hormones, like
insulin, bind with receptors on the surface of target cells. The receptors trigger a response within the
cell. Without insulin, glucose can't get into the cells (the doors are "locked" and there is no key) and
so it stays in the bloodstream. As a result, the level of sugar in the blood remains higher than normal.
High blood sugar levels are o problem because they can cause a number of health problems.
What is Type 1 Diabetes?
There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 and type 2. Both type 1 and type 2 diabetes cause biood sugar levels to become higher
than normal., However, they cause it in different ways. Type 1 diabetes results when the pancreas loses its ability to make the hormone insulin.
in type 1 diabetes, the person's own immune system attacks and destroys the cells in the pancreas that produce insulin. Once those cells are
destroyed, they won't ever make insulin again. Although no one knows for certain why this happens, scientists think it has something to do
with genes. But just getting the genes for diabetes isn't usually enough. A person probably would then have to be exposed to something else
- like a virus - to get type 1 diabetes. Type I diabetes can't be prevented, and there is no practical way to predict who will get it. There is
nothing that either a parent or the child did to cause the disease. Once a person has type 1 diabetes, it does not go away and requires
lifelong treatment, Kids and teens with type I diabetes depend on daily insulin injections or an insulin pump to control their blood glucose
levels. The diagnosis of type 2 diabetes is becoming increasingly common in U.S. kids and teens, especially in those who are overweight.
Sorme studies report that between 8% oand 45% of children who've been newly diagnosed with diabetes have the form known as type 2.
What is Type 2 Diabetes?
Unlike someone with type 1 diabetes, a person with type 2 diabetes still produces insulin but the body doesn't respond to it normally.
Glucose is less able to enter the cells and do its job of supplying energy (this is called insulin resistance). This causes the blood sugar level to
rise, making the pancreas produce even more insulin. Eventually, the pancreas can wear out from working overtime to produce extra insulin
and may no longer be able to produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal. People with insulin resistance may or may not
develop type 2 diabetes-it all depends on whether the pancreas can produce enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels normal.
Repeatedly high blood sugar levels are a sign that a person has developed diabetes.Kids and teens with type 2 diabetes use diet, exercise.
and medicines that improve the body's response to insulin to control their blood sugar levels. Some may need to take insulin shots or use an
insulin pump, too. Although no one knows for certain what causes type 2 diabetes, there seems to be a genetic risk. In fact, it's estimated that
45% to 80% of affected kids have at least one parent with diabetes and may have a significant family history of the disease. In some cases, a
parent may be diagnosed with type 2 diabetes at the same time as the child. Most people who develop type 2 diabetes are overweight.
Excess fat makes it harder for the cells to respond to insulin. And being inactive further reduces the body's ability to respond to insulin. In the
past, doctors called this type of diabetes adult-onset diabetes because il almost exclusively affected overweight adults. Today, that
description is no longer accurate, More kids and teens are being diognosed with type 2 diabetes, probably because more kids and teens are
overweight. Certain ethnic groups also tend to be more prone to developing type 2 diabetes, including people of Native American, African
American, Hispanic/Latino, or Asian/Pacific Island descent. Also, kids in puberty are more likely to develop the disease than younger kids,
probably because of normal rises in hormone levels that can cause insulin resistance during this stage of rapid growth and physical
development.
