INTRODUCTION
Type 1 Diabetes
Type 1 Diabetes (previously known as insulin-dependent diabetes) is an auto-
immune disease where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing beta
cells in the pancreas. This type of diabetes also known as juvenile-onset diabetes.
People with type 1 diabetes must inject themselves with insulin several times a day and
follow a careful diet and exercise plan.
Type 2 Diabetes
Type 2 Diabetes (previously known as non-insulin dependent diabetes) is the most
common form of diabetes. This type of diabetes, also known as late-onset diabetes, is
characterized by insulin resistance and relative insulin deficiency. The disease is
strongly genetic in origin but lifestyle factors such as excess weight; inactivity, high
blood pressure and poor diet are major risk factors for its development. Symptoms may
not show for many years and, by the time they appear, significant problems may have
developed. People with type 2 diabetes are twice as likely to suffer cardiovascular
disease. Type 2 diabetes may be treated by dietary changes, exercise and/or tablets
insulin injections may later be required.
Sign and Symptoms of Diabetes Mellitus
Flu-like symptoms. Diabetes can sometimes feel like a viral illness, with fatigue,
weakness and loss of appetite. Sugar is your body's main fuel, and when it doesn't
reach your cells you may feel tired and weak. Weight gain or loss. Because your body
is trying to compensate for lost fluids and sugar, you may eat more than usual and gain
weight. Slow-healing sores or frequent infections. Diabetes affects your body's
ability to heal and fight infection. Bladder and vaginal infections can be a particular
problem for women. Nerve damage (neuropathy). Excess sugar in your blood can
damage the small blood vessels to your nerves, leading to a number of symptoms. The
most common are tingling and loss of sensation in your hands and especially your feet.
Blurred vision. High levels of blood sugar pull fluid out of the tissues in your body
including the lenses of your eyes. This affects your ability to focus.
Diabetes is one of the most common chronic diseases in children and adolescents;
about 151,000 people below the age of 20 years have diabetes. Health care providers
are finding more and more children with type 2 diabetes, a disease usually diagnosed in
adults aged 40 years or older. Diabetes affects 25.8 million people of all ages 8.3
percent of the U.S. population. In 2006-2009, based on fasting glucose or hemoglobin
A1C (A1C) levels, 35 percent of U.S. adults ages 20 years or older had prediabetes—
50 percent of adults ages 65 years or older. Applying this percentage to the entire U.S.
population in 2010 yields an estimated 79 million American adults ages 20 years or
older with prediabetes. Diabetes is the leading cause of kidney failure, nontraumatic
lower-limb amputations, and new cases of blindness among adults in the United States.

IV. ANATOMY AND PHYSIOLOGY
Pancreas
Is a gland organ in the digestive system and endocrine system of vertebrates. It
is both an endocrine system gland producing several important hormones including
insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin as well as an exocrine gland. Secreting pancreatic
juice containing digestive enzymes that assist the absorption of nutrients and the
digestion in the small intestine. These enzymes help to further break down the
carbohydrates, proteins and lipids in the chime.
Anatomy of the Pancreas
The pancreas is an elongated, tapered organ located across the back of the
abdomen, behind the stomach. The right side of the organ (called the head) is the
widest part of the organ and lies in the curve of the duodenum (the first section of the
small intestine). The tapered left side extends slightly upward (called the body of the
pancreas) and ends near the spleen (called the tail).
The pancreas is made up of two types of tissue:
1.) Exocrine Tissue
The exocrine tissue secretes digestive enzymes. These enzymes are
secreted into a network of ducts that join the main pancreatic duct, which runs
the length of the pancreas.
The enzymes secreted by the exocrine tissue in the pancreas help breakdown
carbohydrates, fats, proteins and acids in the duodenum. These enzymes travel down
the pancreatic duct into the bile duct in an inactive form. When they enter the
duodenum, they are activated. The exocrine tissue also secretes bicarbonate to
neutralize stomach acid in the duodenum. These pancreatic enzymes include:
1. Amylase – digest the remaining complex carbohydrates into sugar – mostly
complex. Complex sugars are then further broken down into their individual
components sugars in the small intestine:
Maltose (glucose + glucose) is acted on by maltase and broken down into
two molecules of glucose.
Sucrose (glucose + fructose) is acted on by sucrose and broken down
into glucose and fructose.
Lactose (glucose + galactose) is acted on by lactase and broken down
into glucose and galactose.
2. Trypsin, Chymotrypsin and Elastase are digest proteins.
3. Lypase digest triglycerides into fatty acids and monoglycerides.
4. Nucleases – are pancreatic enzymes that reduce DNA and ribonucleic acid to
their components nucleotides.
5. Secretin – initiate the release of a watery pancreatic solution that contains a
large amount of HCO3.
6. Cholecystokinin – stimulates the pancreas to release an enzyme rich solution.
The hormones secreted by the endocrine tissue in the pancreas are insulin and
glucagon (which regulate the level of glucose in the blood) and somatostatin (which
prevents the release of the other two hormones)
VI. LABORATORY AND DIAGNOSTICS
The complete blood count or CBC test is used as a broad screening test to check
for such disorders as anemia, infection, and many other diseases.

STABS
The urinalysis is used as a screening and/or diagnostic tool because it can help
detect substances or cellular material in the urine associated with different metabolic
and kidney disorders. It is ordered widely and routinely to detect any abnormalities that
require follow up.

Blood glucose monitoring allows a person to know their blood glucose level at
any time and helps prevent the immediate and potentially serious consequences of very
high or very low blood glucose. Monitoring also enables tighter blood glucose control,
which decreases the long-term risks of diabetic complications.
