Document Summary
Disorders of blood glucose regulation: type 1 diabetes mellitus, juvenile onset diabetes (can be diagnosed if not a child) Complications associated with both types: heart disease and stroke, blindness (retinopathy, renal failure (nephropathy, nervous system disease (neuropathy, amputations (bka, diabetes is on the rise. Normal blood glucose regulation: body tries to stay at homeostasis, high: energy utilization and storage, insulin, glycolysis, low: generate more, glucagon, breaks down glycogen into glucose. Insulin dependent: decreased release of insulin, results in hyperglycemia, autoimmune disorder, genetic link, symptoms. Increased urination, thirst, appetite (kidneys trying to get rid of extra glucose: weight loss. Treatment for type i: maintain blood glucose levels in a normal range, prevent complications of diabetes, maintain lipid profiles in a heart-friendly range, diet plans. Insulin therapy: carbohydrate counting 45-65% of calories, moderate protein 15-20% calories, low fat <30% calories, exchange lists, exercise. Complications: diabetic ketoacidosis, lack of insulin inhibits normal carb metabolism, stroke, heart disease, kidney disease, eye disease, nerve damage.
