What is the scientific name for diabetes?
Diabetes is the scientific name. There are three types:Type 1 diabetes: results from the body's failure to produce insulin, and presently requires the person to inject insulin. This is calledinsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus, IDDM for short, and juvenile diabetes.)Type 2 diabetes: results from insulin resistance, a condition in which cells fail to use insulin properly, sometimes combined with an absolute insulin deficiency.Gestational diabetes: is when pregnant women, who have never had diabetes before, have a high blood glucose level during pregnancy.
How did insulin affect the world?
Insulin was first injected into a patient with diabetes in the early 1920s. Before then, if one's diabetes could not be regulated, that person would almost always die. After the mass production of insulin, people could manage their diabetes, and it was not a death sentence, as it had once been.
How long after eating can you give a cat insulin to manage their diabetes effectively?
It is recommended to wait at least 30 minutes after a cat eats before giving them insulin to effectively manage their diabetes.
What are some types of diabetes treatment?
For insulin- dependent diabetes, insulin is required for treatment. Some patients can simply inject insulin before or after meals, while others need a constant supply through an insulin pump. Blood sugar levels are tested throughout the day to ensure a proper level of insulin.
Why do people with diabetes have to test their blood sugar level before injecting themselves insulin?
Once you test your blood sugar, you can figure how much insulin to give yourself. Because your blood sugar varies every time you check, that is why.
How many people has insulin saved?
Before insulin...Type 1 Diabetes: 100% mortality. Anywhere from a few months to a few years after diagnosis.
What is the best drug for diabetes?
If you have been diagnoised with diabetes your doctor should have put you on a regiment of either pills or insulin injections. There are two types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2, both are treated differently, so we need to know if you have been diagnoised with diabetes and which type of diabetic you are before anything can be said concernng the types of teatments for diabetes.

How much does a cat need to eat before insulin is required for diabetes management?
Cats with diabetes typically require insulin when their blood sugar levels remain consistently high despite dietary changes and weight management. It is important to consult with a veterinarian to determine the appropriate insulin dosage and management plan for a diabetic cat.
Why is diabetes a contraindication to massage?
It depends. Diabetes is not a contraindication by itself. What is most important is the progression of the disease and the overall condition of the person. If there are any doubts about the risks and benefits of massage on a person with diabetes, have them consult with their doctor.
How was insulin produced before genetically modified?
Before genetically modified organisms, insulin was primarily produced from the pancreas of slaughtered pigs and cows. The insulin was extracted, purified, and then administered to diabetes patients. This method was less efficient and more expensive compared to the production of genetically modified insulin.
Is diabetes caused by a virus or bacteria?
Diabetes isn't caused by either bacteria or a virus. It is to do with your pancreas not creating enough insulin which regulates the amount of sugar in your blood. There are two types of Diabetes type 1 and type 2. People are born with type 1 diabetes which means their pancreas does not create enough/any insulin. Before they eat a meal they must inject themselves with insulin, this controlls the amount of sugar in the blood so it doesn't become too high and create hyperglycaemia. If the diabetic didn't inject themselves with insulin they would be at risk of dying. To avoid their blood sugar levels rising dramatically they also watch what they eat and do regular exercise.
Does type 1 diabetes usually develops in people before age 15?
Yes. A person can develop type 1 diabetes into the early '30s. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body destroys the insulin-producing parts of the pancreas. The person with type 1 diabetes will always need to take insulin by injection or by using an insulin pump. Type 2 diabetes, on the other hand, is where a person continues to produce insulin but, for various reasons, his/her body does not use the insulin effectively, and blood glucose levels rise too high. Normal blood sugar range is 70 - 100. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes are: increased hunger because lack of insulin is not allowing glucose -- from broken down food -- to enter the cells; weight loss, increased thirst, increased urination, fatigue, and changes in vision. I have several endocrine auto-immune diseases, and the last one I developed was type 1 diabetes at age 32. I've since known other people who were as old when they first developed type 1 diabetes. Type 2 diabetics are typically overweight, which contributes to the disease. Only about 10 percent of all diabetics have type 1 diabetes, and they are usually not overweight.
