Diabetes- Dieseas where the body doesn't "properly" use insulin. Insulin- Is a hormone made by by the pancreas that the body uses to convert the food that you eat into the energy that you need for everyday life. The energy supportes all of your body's functions that are needed to stay alive. Glucose has to go through a specil protein, and protein is closed unless insulin is attatched to the cell. If you don't have insulin then your cells don't get any energy at all, this means that your blood is full of glucose which is sugar. Digestive Enzymes- Produced in pancreas used in small intestine Type 1 Diabetes- When your body doesn't make insulin anymore- found in young children or younger adults Type 2 Diabetes- You don't have a receptor or their is a problem with it- found in older adults. TYpically you have too much glucole and that leads to too much insulin, it sends an insulin signal and the cells stop paying attention to whats going on so the receptors start ignoring it. It is also know as insulin resistant Symptoms: glucose goes up and the blood has high levels of glucose in the blood. glucose put in urin and there are high levels of glucose in your urin. if you have to go to the bathroom a lot, then thats a sign that you could have diabetes.
