30

31
Q

injection dependent diabetes

A

type 1

32
Q

early onset diabetes (diabetes with an age of diagnosis at a young age)

A

type 1

33
Q

where are the islets of langerhans?

A

pancreas

34
Q

type 1 is what percent

A

10%

35
Q

type 2 is what percent

A

90%

36
Q

what do the islets of langerhans
do?

A

cells in pancreas that regulate blood sugar, alpha (glucagon) beta (insulin) delta (not sure)

37
Q

normal body function:

A

carbs are broken down in stomach and the liver creates glucose; glucose moves into blood stream; body detects levels are rising; in response, pancreas creates insulin, which feeds the body energy

38
Q

what does insulin do

A

allows glucose to get into cells to be used as energy

39
Q

what happens when the glucose and insulin process doesn’t work properly?

A

Leads to Diabetes

40
Q

how much does insulin does the body make with type 1 diabetes? why?

A

0 insulin because auto immune response where body destroys insulin-producing cells

41
Q

beta cells

A

release insulin = blood sugar goes down

42
Q

alpha cells

A

collect glucagon = blood sugar goes up

43
Q

why do you feel dehydrated when you have diabetes

A

your kidneys try to remove glucose by urinating which causes dehydration/makes you feel thirsty

44
Q

small blood vessel damage:

A

vision, nerve damage, and kidney disease

44
Q

large blood vessel damage:

A

heart disease, stroke, poor blood circulation

45
Q

why does type 2 diabetes happen?

A

glucose is not used properly or there is too much fat -> in response, liver makes more glucose so pancreas makes more insulin as well -> both levels rise causing high blood sugar

46
Q

why is weightloss a symptom of type 1 diabetes?

A

instead of glucose, fat is used as an energy source

47
Q

high glucose can cause:

A

damage to blood vessels -> vital organs
