diabetes mellitus
Diabetes is usually symptomatic this is why people tend to have it checked. However, the symptoms might mask something else so people might suspect the wrong thing too.
Type 2 diabetes is not the same thing as pre-diabetes. Pre-diabetes, or borderline diabetes, is a condition where the body either slows down insulin production or cannot correctly utilize insulin. Blood sugars are slightly elevated at times without taking any oral medication. This is usually associated with obesity and can usually be corrected with proper diet and exercise. If left untreated, pre-diabetes can become type 2 diabetes, which is basically a more severe form of pre-diabetes. With type 2, high blood sugars are usually treated with oral medication, or insulin injections if necessary. Your body does not produce enough insulin, nor does it use it correctly. This differs from type 1 diabetes, where the body does not produce insulin at all.
pancreas is and exocrine and endocrine organ. it produces insulin, glucagon, and somatostatin. symptoms might include symptoms of diabetes mellitus, eg. frequent urination, frequent thirst, there might be also pain, which radiates to the back, or to the right shoulder.
If the body does not have enough insulin, then one can get diabetes. If the cells can not use the insulin the body has very well, then one can get diabetes. If one has diabetes, then the doctor might say to use insulin. If the body has too much insulin, then the cells store energy in the cells as fat. When a person is overweight, that is one of the main symptoms of diabetes. If the body and cells use insulin well to control blood sugar level, then the person is not diabetic.
I pretty sure it would only have an effect on Type 2 diabetes, as type one is present at birth. Type 2 might be positively influenced by having the surgery. http://www.yourbariatricsurgeryguide.com/diabetes/
Diabetes Mellitus comes in two common forms, Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitus (or Type 1 Diabetes) and Non-Insulin-Dependent Diabetes Mellitues (Type 2 Diabetes). (There is also Gestational Diabetes which occurs during pregnancy). Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease mainly found in children. In this type of diabetes the child's immune system attacks insulin producing cells found in the pancreas. Insulin is a hormone that raises blood sugar. Type 2 diabetes is due to diet and age. This form of diabetes is traditionally found in older individuals, but we often hear about the rise of diabetes in younger people. In this case the body is worn down and organs, especially the pancreas and liver, are not able to regulate blood sugar as effectively. The symptoms of both forms of diabetes are the same. The person will experience excessive thirst and hunger, weight loss, frequent urination, and fatigue. The excessive thirst is due to dehydration. The blood glucose (sugar) is increased and the individual will have a high amount of glucose in their urine (giving it a sweet smell) causing them to loose more water. Glucose in the urine can also cause more bladder infections. Due to the high amounts of blood sugar they may experience blurry vision and lethargy.
It is unusual for crystals to form on paper clips. Possibly if you use them to stir your coffee you might get sugar crystals.
Yes. The generic term "diabetes" or, more correctly, "diabetes mellitus" refers to any inability of the body to properly metabolize carbohydrates. Type 1 diabetes, often called "Juvenile Diabetes" usually has its onset at youth. Its cause is unknown except that it is appears to be hereditary (genetic) and might be triggered by environmental factors. This form of diabetes is usually controlled by daily injections of insulin. Type 1 diabetics are usually fit and healthy. Type 2 diabetes has its onset later in life and, in most cases, is self-inflicted and almost 100% preventable. Its cause is obesity which in turn is caused by overeating, poor diet, and lack of physical exercise. Most Type 2 diabetics are in poor physical condition.
Sure, the crystals are tartaric acid which occurs in wine naturally. It is perfectly fine to drink the wine. You might even enjoy the crystals.
If you happen to be overweight, your chance of getting diabetes is higher than people with a healthy. However, that does not happen all the time. You might be fit and strong, but you might have diabetes too if your family members suffer from the illness.
Highly variable, depending upon size, quality, locality, etc. A small, damaged druse of crystals from Mexico might fetch $10, a superb cabinet specimen with large perfect crystals from Sicily might fetch thousands.
