Essay / Diabetes Type 2 Diabetes - 843
IntroductionPatients with type 2 diabetes have increased blood sugar levels. High blood sugar in type 2 diabetes may be caused by insufficient insulin produced by the pancreas to control blood sugar, decreased effects of insulin on peripheral tissues, or the effect of both factors together. Dysregulation of the oxidative and glycolytic capacities of skeletal muscle also leads to insulin resistance in type 2 diabetes. The disease most likely results from weight gain, lack of physical activity, consumption of unhealthy foods, high blood pressure or high cholesterol. People over 40 have a higher risk of developing type 2 diabetes, but now the disease is becoming more serious. more common in children, adolescents and young adults. Additionally, the likelihood of developing type 2 diabetes is also influenced by genetics. The disease can be recognized by its symptoms such as increased thirst and frequent urination, as a high level of sugar accumulating in the blood causes fluid to be drawn out of the tissues. This could make the patient thirsty. As a result, the patient may drink and urinate more frequently. Increased hunger is one of the symptoms of type 2 diabetes when, without enough insulin to move sugar into cells, muscles and organs lack energy. This makes the patient feel hungry. Fatigue is also a very common symptom as the cells are deprived of sugar, the patient becomes tired and irritable. Additionally, blurred vision is also common in people with type 2 diabetes. High blood sugar can cause fluid to drain from the lens of the eye. This could affect the ability to concentrate clearly. Slow-healing sores, frequent infections and dark skin can also appear in people with type 2 diabetes. This disease...... middle of paper ...... physical activity, consumption of Oxygen throughout the body increases. Skeletal muscle uses, at a significantly increased rate, its own stores of glycogen, triglycerides, and free fatty acids (FFA) derived from the breakdown of triglycerides from adipose tissue and glucose released by the liver. Central nervous system function is preserved by remarkably well-maintained blood sugar levels during physical activity. Hypoglycemia during physical activity does not often occur in people without diabetes. The metabolic adjustments that maintain normoglycemia during physical activity are largely hormonal in origin. A reduction in plasma insulin levels and the presence of glucagon seem necessary during physical activity. In patients with type 2 diabetes, physical activity can improve insulin sensitivity and help reduce high blood sugar levels within the normal range..
