If your body isn’t making any insulin or isn’t making enough, your body can’t convert blood sugar – glucose – into fuel for your body’s cells. This condition is diabetes. Diabetes mellitus, often simply referred to as diabetes, is a group of metabolic diseases in which a person has high blood sugar,either because the body does not produce enough insulin, or because cells do not respond to the insulin that is produced.If you wish , you can watch the video tutorial on diabetes.

- Question 1 of 10
1. Question
1 pointsType 1 diabetes patients are more than Type -11
CorrectIncorrect - Question 2 of 10
2. Question
1 pointsWhile Type -1 diabetes can occur to patient of any age . However , Type-II diabetes is most common after the age of 40.
CorrectMost common age for onset of Type II diabetes is 40 to 50
Incorrect - Question 3 of 10
3. Question
1 pointsType -II diabetes are insulin dependent disease.
CorrectType -I is insulin dependent disease as the body stops producing insulin . So patient has to get the insulin injection . However, in Type -II, insulin injection is not required as body does not stops producing insulin.
Incorrect - Question 4 of 10
4. Question
1 pointsDiabetes doesn’t interfere with digestion, but it does prevent the body from using an important product of digestion, glucose (commonly known as sugar), for energy.
CorrectSince glucose does not reach the cells, there is death of cells and so different part of body gets affected. For example, a diabetic patient is prone to eye disease , because the cells if retina and adjoining space , die on account of lack of glucose which does not reach if for energy purpose .
Incorrect - Question 5 of 10
5. Question
1 pointsPancreas produces insulin
CorrectIn type I , pancreas stops producing insulin whereas in Type -II , it produces insulin.
Incorrect - Question 6 of 10
6. Question
1 pointsThe symptoms of diabetes may include fatigue, weight loss , frequent urination, especially at night, and excessive thirst.
CorrectWhen there is extra sugar in blood, the body gets rid of it is through frequent urination. This loss of fluids causes extreme thirst. Other symptoms may include sudden weight loss, blurred vision, and slow healing of skin, gum, and urinary tract infections. Women may notice genital itching.
Incorrect - Question 7 of 10
7. Question
1 pointsInsulin resistance is related to Type I diabetes.
CorrectInsulin is not produced in Type I diabetes patients wheres as in Type II, insulin is produced by Pancreas but there is problem at the cell level to absorb the glucose .Scientists are still searching for the causes of insulin resistance, but they have identified two possibilities. The first could be a defect in insulin receptors on cells. Like an appliance that needs to be plugged into an electrical outlet, insulin has to bind to a receptor to function. Several things can go wrong with receptors. There may not be enough receptors for insulin to bind to, or a defect in the receptors may prevent insulin from binding. A second possible cause involves the process that occurs after insulin plugs into the receptor. Insulin may bind to the receptor, but the cells don’t read the signal to metabolize the sugar. Scientists are studying cells to see why this might happen.
Incorrect - Question 8 of 10
8. Question
1 pointsInsulin was first used to treat diabetes in 1921. How many different types of insulin used to treat the patients?
CorrectThere are six main types of insulin, and each patient requires their own unique combination and dosage. It can take many weeks after starting insulin for sugar levels to stabilise, and it is quite common for different insulin combinations to be tried before optimal treatment occurs. The six types are: Rapid-acting analogue insulins – as the name suggests, these act quickly and are used up within five hours. A clear-looking insulin, these injections are taken with food Short-acting insulin – a clear insulin, this is injected around half an hour before a meal, and last for up to eight hours Longer-acting analogue insulin – used increasingly in many diabetics, these are given once daily only to provide a background insulin cover for 24 hours. A clear insulin that does not need to be taken with food but, is given at the same time each day (this time varies between patients) Medium/long-acting insulin – usually given in combination with shorter-acting insulins, these are injected up to twice a day. Their effect can last over 24 hours Mixed analogue – this artificial insulin is a combination of rapid acting analogue and medium insulin. Depending on the combination used its effect can last over 12 hours Mixed insulin – a simple combination of short and medium acting insulins. Its length of action is similar to that of the mixed analogues
Incorrect - Question 9 of 10
9. Question
1 pointsWhat is major role of insulin in body?
CorrectInsulin enables cells to take up the amount of glucose they need to provide themselves with enough energy to function properly. It also allows any glucose left over to be stored in the liver.
Incorrect - Question 10 of 10
10. Question
1 pointsRegular exercise or brisk walking -for at least 30 minutes definitely help reducing Type-1 diabetes.
CorrectFollowing action are definitely helpful in fighting the diabetic disease Working towards obtaining ideal body weight Following a diabetic diet Regular exercise Diabetic medication if needed

In NCIS, Director Shepard had some sort of fatal disease, and in the episode “Stakeout,” Abby discovers that the Director’s blood has a normal white count and a high level of creatine kinase. What diseases could this indicate?
So I was absent during school and I have to write an essay on this question, just a few notes will be very helpful though. The essay prompt is: Disease has had a dramatic impact on the developement of human history. Describe two specific instances and when and how it has probably changed the course of history. In each example, speculate what might have happened if there had been no diease episode. My instance is the conquest of the Americas with the Spaniards and Aztecs, etc. How did the disease that was brought about have an impact?
An acquaintance told me she had a muscle biopsy a few weeks ago to test for Mitochrondiral disease and will be receiving the results in a few weeks. I’ve never heard of the disease, and it’s insanely late at the moment so my mind is too tired to do a search on it. What exactly is it, what are the symptoms, and how is it treated? Is it chronic and debilitating? She’s just 16 at the moment. I’m hoping it’s not serious.
A disease which attacks the muscle motors, so that the muscles in the face won’t move. What is the name for the disease?
Is it a disease or a distubed gland condition which needs one time treatement or life long treatment? Can it be corrected for once and for ever with the modern day medicines? If not treated out of ignorance then what are the extreme harmful effects of the disease? Can any medical professional guide me about this disease as to help me approach the doctor to be guided properly to overcome the problem?
I think this is the biggest failure of science and generally the world. It is full of imperfections, even though religion is not a better alternative.
But, what can you define as a disease; and what can you not? First of all, we have to realize that all humans are different physically. But they should be treated equally on moral basis, and on the basis of humanity (whether its gay ppl, straight ppl, women, old ppl; they should be treated equally on moral grounds).
Because people are different physically; they exhibit different behavior due to the chemistry of their body. Here is where the tricky part comes. What can you categorize as an illness/disease/disorder and what can you not? This is the biggest failure of science: why do you need to categorize things into illnesses and non-illnesses? It is clear you are letting your bias through. Modern feminists define rape that is only committed by a man on a woman. So there come the discrepancies. Why can you not accept behavior that everyone’s behavior is deviant from one another. Why do we have to claim somethings are anomalies, and some are not? I know pedophilia and rape is wrong, but can you categorize is as an illness/disease/disorder? Do we have any proof that pedophilia and rape are not illnesses/diseases/disorders? Is there any proof that homosexuality is not an illness/disease/disorder? I dont think so.
So why do we have to say that pedophilia and rape are done intentionally, when they could very well be ‘illnesses’. And how can we say homosexuality is not a disease/disorder when it could be?
The fact is that these are faulty premises. We cannot categorize things into illnesses/diseases/disorders. Everyone is different from each other physically and psycologically. That is the best way to deal with things. Science cannot even come to a consensus when (at what time period) a child in a mother’s womb is alive; or whether abortion is murder or not (after what stage). So i think science has failed in that aspect.
EDIT:
Feminists wants the EXACT same physical rights for women that they want for men. Men and women are different physically, remember that. So I would want rights to be ‘balanced out’ between male and female; and that would constitute as EQUAL rights, not the EXACT SAME rights.
EDIT
Is there any proof that homosexuality is NOT a disorder/illness. Then why does science say it is NOT a disorder/illness? Is there any proof that pedophilia/rape is NOT a disease.
Please answer these questions, and give me conclusive studies NOT theories for this. Evolution as you like it or not is NOT proven, it is a THEORY. I also mentioned religion is not a better alternative.
Use an internet source to provide some information about a disease related to the skeletal or muscular system of the body.
Answer the following questions:
1. What is the disease and what effects does it have on a patient.
2. What is the prognosis?
3. What can be done to cure or treat symptoms of the disease? (example: medications, therapy, amputation–yikes!)
I saw on TV , along time ago, that there is a town that “runs” at night time. I believe it is a town that started living at night time because of this disease. I don’t remember what the disease is or what the name of the town is. Can anyone help me out on this?

I have a 45 gallon aquarium with three freshwater parrot ciclids. For the past week, the largest of the tree sits at the bottom and waves his fins normally as if s/he was swimming. The fish’s skin looks normal. He is eating normally and is not behaving any differently than before other than the sitting at the bottom of the tank. When I go to feed them, he swims normally like all of the other fish. About 6 weeks ago, we successfully treated hole in the head disease with this same fish. The water conditions are clean with the temp between 77 and 79 degrees. Anyone have any thoughts on the disease process thaty may be going on here? I appreciate your thoughts in advance!
I have Trichotillomania, the hair pulling disease. I cannot control my urges to pull, at all. I’ve tried wrapping my fingers in rubber bands while I write and do work in class (since I pull alot with one hand as I write with the other) and so many other things. It would help so much if I could get some suggestions on ways to keep myself from pulling my hair. I’ve tried hats, fake nails, etc. Hats were just too aggrivating and annoying. Help? Thank you ahead of time! <3
Hi about a month ago I had a really bad illness. I had a high fever, aches everywhere and was just very cold. All those syptoms vanishes after having Antibiotic for a good three days but soon after I had this feeling of being generally tired and seeming to yawn very frequently. And every morning I wake up with a sore throat, but it usually goes away in about an hour after waking up. I was wondering if there is a disease that has these certain symptoms? thanks.
I cant find a disease that is CURRENTLY targeted for eradiction. Can anyone help?
