What body systems do diabetes affect?
In the pancreas, a leaf-shaped organ near the duodenoum, there are special cells called the Islets of Langherhans, of which there are 4 types, the A cells secrete a hormone Glucagon which raises the blood glucose level . The B cells produce the hormone Insulin which lowers blood glucose level. The interaction of these two hormones regulates the blood glucose level.
Can dogs have Diabetes?
Yes, a dog can have Diabetes and it is treated similar to ways that humans are treated, usually with regular injections of insulin. All mammals have similar body systems, including endocrine systems. Diabetes is a result of the malfunction of a specific part of the endocrine system. The most common entities that you hear about having diabetes are humans, dogs and cats.
Disease that affects one of the body systems?
Type 2 diabetes affects the endocrine system by causing insulin resistance.
What body systems are involved in high blood pressure?
Hypertension or High Blood Pressure can affect all of the body's systems if not treated, especially Cardiovascular, Central Nervous System (stroke), Renal, Reproductive and Endocrine. (Hypertension and Diabetes)
What is a disease in which the body does not produce or properly use insulin.?
!:)- diabetes
Can your body tremble if you have diabetes?
it happens sometimes with person suffering from diabetes
What is a physiological disease?
A physiological disease is an illness or disorder that affects the normal functioning of the body's systems or organs. These diseases are typically caused by biological or physical factors, such as genetics, infections, or environmental factors. Examples include heart disease, diabetes, and asthma.
Which system in the body does not work to maintain homeostasis?
While all systems in the body work together to maintain homeostasis, the endocrine system can sometimes become dysregulated, leading to imbalances in hormones and subsequent disruptions in homeostasis. This can result in conditions such as diabetes or thyroid disorders.
What is the name of the condition in which the body is not producing adequate amounts of insulin?
Low blood sugar!
Food exchange systems were originally developed for people with?
diabetes
What are some insulin dependent diabetes?
Insulin-dependent diabetes refers to forms of diabetes in which the person needs insulin therapy because their body cannot produce enough or any insulin. These include: 1. Type 1 Diabetes This is the classic form of insulin-dependent diabetes. The immune system attacks the insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas. People with Type 1 diabetes must take insulin for life. 2. Latent Autoimmune Diabetes of Adulthood (LADA) Sometimes called Type 1.5 diabetes. It develops in adulthood and progresses more slowly than classic Type 1. People with LADA often need insulin eventually because their insulin production declines over time. 3. Secondary Diabetes with Beta-Cell Failure This includes diabetes caused by: a. Pancreatic disease (e.g., pancreatitis, pancreatic surgery, cystic fibrosis) b. Genetic disorders affecting beta cells In these cases, the pancreas cannot make enough insulin, so insulin treatment is required. 4. Neonatal Diabetes A rare form of diabetes that appears in the first 6 months of life. Some types of neonatal diabetes need lifelong insulin therapy. Type 2 diabetes is not always insulin dependent—many people manage it with lifestyle changes and oral medications. However, some people with long-standing Type 2 diabetes eventually need insulin when other treatments no longer control blood sugar.
What happens when hormones that control sugar levels in the body does not work properly?
You get diabetes
