The new”cure” for diabetesDiabetic pancreas
It is estimated that over 530 million worldwide have
diabetes and those numbers are also increasing in
children and adults. We will discuss what diabetes is and
what causes it and the things you can do to reduce your
risk of developing diabetes.If you already have it is there a
possible way to cure diabetes? DiabetesOne ofOne of the
or Diabetes mellitus is often classified into two
types.Gestational diabetes of the Type 1 Diabetes and
Type 2 diabetes.
For discussing diabetes we need to talk about pancreas.
pancreas is lies under stomach and it has head body and
tail the pancreas is amazing for multiple reasons one
among them is it is both an endocrine gland as well as
an exocrine gland.The endocrine gland secrete
hormones into the bloodstream but the exocrine portion
that will produce the pancreatic enzymes and those would
secreted into the small intestine specifically that your
dinner and that is current helps to aid in digestion the
endocrine cells within the pancreas those are going to
produce various hormones and secrete them into the
bloodstream.One of the main hormone is insulin. Insulin
has various functions.The most important one is it lowers
the blood glucose level.The outside of the cell membrane
we can see surface receptors there are insulin
, receptors,so if we eat carbohydrates our digestive tract will
break them down and eventually does carbohydrate will
get absorbed into the bloodstream.So the glucose
molecules which contribute to the blood sugar level the
pancreas in response to blood sugar levels increasing
after the meal will release the insulin.This will get into the
bloodstream and so the insulin can circulate and go to the
various cells of the body and insulin will to the insulin
receptors. And the oblige and glucose will go into the
cell.Show the insulin lowers the blood sugar level by
getting the sugar to go from the bloodstream and into the
cells. but what this is have to do with diabetes Type 1
Diabetes which is also referred to as insulin- dependent
diabetes and that is because the pancreas is no longer
creating incident at the auto in destruction of the Beta cells
and the Beta cells and the specific cell type within the
pancreas actually creates the insulin.
So we no longer get this insulin and no longer can create
this effect of the cell and then we are not going to be able
to shuttle that glucose from the bloodstream and into the
cell the Type 1 Diabetes is typically happen in children and
sometimes in the early teenagers it can also happened
later in life but most commonly in the younger years of life.
Genetics and bad luck cause type one diabetes.It is the
autoimmune destruction of the Beta cells so we don't want
to take more control over it when compared to type 2
diabetes.
