MA+Insulin+Paper+Notes

Two Kinds of Hormones: 1. steroid=fats that can go through the fatty membranes 2. peptide=receptors are on the surface

Hormones travel through the blood...go by every cell in the body.

A hormone is a chemical signal... Insulin gives the signal for cells to take in sugar. Sugar gets in the blood from eating. 1. eat 2.body digests and releases sugar in blood 3. pancreas detects the sugar and releases insulin into the blood

Diabetes: Symptom: Type 1 Diabetes: Type 2 Diabetes resistance Sometimes with diabetes insulin is made but the body does not use it...this is called insulin resistance Insulin production eventually slow down(gets shots of insulin)
 * high blood sugar(because the signal insulin gives is not given b/c it is never attached to the receptor so glucose stays in the blood)
 * a lot of urination: when your kidneys filter your blood..there is so much sugar in your blood that it is put in your pee...b/c of the hyperglycemia causes the kidneys to put excess sugar in the urine
 * get thirsty b/c you are urinating a lot and you are dehydration
 * Blurred vision: the hypogycemia causes the eyes to change shape
 * Tired: the sugar is not being used for energy
 * only 5-10% are type 1
 * usually found in children
 * take insulin daily for the rest of your life
 * body does not make insulin
 * 90-95% of all cases
 * meal plan-being active
 * individual treatment plan
 * most have insulin ressistance/body does not make enough insulin

Sugar in the blood:
 * Messes up blood vessels=
 * in the eyes(blurred vision), high blood messes up eyes
 * liver,
 * kidneys,-high blood messes up blood vessels in kidneys...become leaky and unable to filter waste
 * heart/brain(heart attack/stroke), blood vessels narrow and clog up
 * feet=high blood sugar damages nerves in legs and feet
