````what is type 1 diabetes?
autoimmune disease where the immune system destroys the beta cells in the pancreas so no insulin is produced
what is type 2 diabetes
high levels of insulin unable to signal properly which can lead to low production of insulin
What effect would an increase in blood glucose have on
insulin release in a healthy individual?
a. Increase insulin release
b. Decrease insulin release
c. No effect on insulin release
a. Increase insulin release
What effect would an increase in blood glucose have on
insulin release in a type 1 diabetic?
a. Increase insulin release
b. Decrease insulin release
c. No effect on insulin release
c. No effect on insulin release
What effect would an increase in blood glucose have on
insulin release in a type 1 diabetic being treated with insulin?
a. Increase insulin release
b. Decrease insulin release
c. No effect on insulin release
c. No effect on insulin release
what is the results of high sugar levels in healthy individuals
there is now more insulin released in beta cells in the pancreas into the blood stream
so what happens if the insulin levels elevate
there is more glucose being uptake to the cells like liver and adipose
What is the most accurate description of the similarities and differences between type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes?
a. Same cause, same symptoms
b. Same cause, different symptoms
c. Different cause, different symptoms d. Different cause, same symptoms
d.different cause same symptoms
what is so specific about the beta cells in a type 2 diabetes pt
in early stages of the disease the beta cells make insulin, so the issue is that insulin isn’t being recognized by the receptor, there is resistance
what occurs when there is too much glucose in the blood
there is less water being reabsorbed so that water is now being excreted leading to dehydration, decreased blood pressure and thirst
why is a symptom for diabetics extreme hunger
the satiety center in the hypothalamus is dependent on insulin so if it is unable to take in glucose, a person feels hungry
Which of the following is true regarding treatments for type 1 and type 2 diabetes?
a. Type 2 diabetes could be treated by removing the pancreas
b. Type 1 diabetes could be treated by increasing the number of
insulin receptors
c. Type 2 diabetes could be treated by decreasing the number of
insulin receptors
d. Type 2 diabetes could be treated by increasing the number of
insulin receptors
