Jordyn Self-MoriciDiabetes Case Study1. Distinguish between type 1 and type 2 diabetes by comparing and contrasting their definitions, bodily effects, warning signs, target groups, and current treatments in a table. Type 1 Type 2Definition - Also known as insulin-dependent diabetes (Morahan). Classified as a chronic condition in which the pancreas produces very little insulin. Insulin is responsible for allowing glucose to enter cells (Type 1 Diabetes: Diseases and Conditions). Without insulin, cells are unable to absorb the necessary glucose. This usually occurs when the body's immune system begins to destroy the insulin-producing islet cells in the pancreas. -Linked to strong genetic prevalence and also exposure to -Slow-healing sores, especially in the lower extremities, may be present due to lack of ability to fight infections (Type 2 Diabetes: Diseases and Conditions). -Acanthosis Nigrican is a condition that can occur in individuals with type 2 diabetes, characterized by areas of darkened skin, typically under the armpits and on the neck (type 2). Target groups - May typically appear in adolescence, but may also appear in adulthood as well. The first peak is between 4 and 7 years, the second between 10 and 14 years. (Type 1 Diabetes: Diseases and Conditions). -The prevalence of type 1 diabetes increases approximately two to three times the further away from the equator one goes (Type 1 Diabetes: Diseases and Conditions). -Predispositions include birth with jaundice, low vitamin D levels, and early exposure to cow's milk (Morahan). -More evident in adults, but is becoming Diagnosis rates are increasing in younger age groups due to increases in childhood obesity (Type 2 Diabetes: Diseases and Conditions). -People of certain races, such as African Americans, Hispanics, American Indians, and Asian Americans, are more likely to develop type 2 diabetes (TypeSearch statistics to share information about both types of diabetes. General statistics ( diabetes statistics):- In 2012, 29.1 million Americans, approximately 9.3% of the population, had diabetes - In 2012, 1.7 new diagnoses were made - Diabetes is the seventh leading cause of death in United States in 2010. Type 1 Statistics (2014 National Diabetes). Statistical Report: - More than 18,000 young people are diagnosed with type 1 diabetes each year. - Type 1 diabetes represents approximately 5% of all diagnosed cases - 1 in 3 children born in 2000 will develop type 2 diabetes (Facts and statistics on type 2 diabetes): - If one of the parents suffers from diabetes type 2, the child's risk of developing the disease is approximately 15%. If both parents have the disease, the risk of developing the disease is 75%.- 1.7 Millions of people aged 20 years and older were diagnosed with type 2 diabetes in 2012. Currently, 1 in 3 will develop type 2 diabetes in their lifetime.3. Know the function of insulin and its involvement
