1. Type II diabetes mellitus usually occurs when the body develops a resistance to insulin, or there is not enough being produced by the liver. This can cause blood sugar to rise in blood, making it so that there is less sugar being release when it is actually needed. The dysfunction of Beta cells as well as the accumulation of adipose tissue is also interconnected to type II diabetes. This is why this is more common in obese individuals.
2. Panel B of the figure is showing how DHEA replacement therapy effects the volume of thigh muscles in humans over a 10 month period. The chart shows that when therapy was only applied there was no real change between the treatment and control groups. After the resistance training was added, however, there

a. Cardiac output is how much pumped blood comes from the left or right ventricle in one heartbeat.
b. Systolic blood pressure is the contracting of the heart (1st number).
c. Diastolic blood pressure is the relaxing of the heart (2nd number).
d. Arteriosclerosis is when the arteries get stiff and hard and blood flow begins to become constrained. It usually happens when fat builds up in the artery walls.
e. Thrombus is another word for a blood clot.
6. There are two types of asthma medicine; short term and long term. Short term can be an inhaled bronchodilator that can be used for sudden asthma attacks and rapidly opening up the airways. This is usually a steroid. Long term medicine is for controlling asthma and is used with short term medicine. It includes an extended acting beta agonist bronchodilator.
7. With periodontal disease, bacteria on the teeth builds up causing inflamed gums and a loss of bone and connective tissue to be diminished, which can lead to teeth falling out and surgery.
8. Breast cancer is caused by an accumulation of abnormal cell division occurring in the breast tissue, leading to a tumor. It can be caused by mutations in DNA as well as failure in the immune system, and signaling growth factor
Treatment is the care that an individual receives to maintain or cure a disease. There are many treatments that can be administered to an individual, ranging from medication and changing lifestyle choices to surgery.
Periodontal disease, or periodontitis, is an “inflammation of the gums that leads to multiple dental diseases…caused by infections or by plaque that adheres to the surface of the teeth” (Blake 86). Gingivitis is an “early form of periodontal disease that involves gum swelling, bleeding, and oral pain” (Blake 86). Thus, periodontal disease typically moves from the early stage of gingivitis to more progressive stages, gradually worsening until teeth are potentially lost or separated from the gums or jaw bone. Subsequently, the risk of heart attack, stroke, and other health problems can occur (Nordqvist 1).
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases in which the person has very high blood sugar. This is either because the production of insulin is inadequate or because the body cells do not properly respond to insulin. Obesity, on the other hand, is a health condition whereby excess body fat has accumulated to an extent where it has a negative effect on health. This leads to reduced life expectancy and increased health problems. Diabetes and obesity are closely tied as doctors highly link diabetes to people’s weight problem. This study focuses on the relationship between obesity and diabetes and the care for patients suffering from these conditions.
The purpose of this study is to research the disease Type 2 Diabetes and to discover whether it is being effectively treated and prevented in Merced County, California. According to the National Institutes of Health, Diabetes Mellitus is “a lifelong (chronic) disease in which there are high levels of sugar (glucose) in the blood. It is also the most common form of Diabetes”.1 Furthermore, there are many risk and lifestyle factors associated with this disease, but the most prevalent are; obesity (#1 risk factor), sedentary lifestyle, unhealthy eating habits, family history and genetics, increased age, high blood pressure and high cholesterol, and a history of gestational diabetes.2 The long term complications of having type 2 diabetes can include but are not limited to; eye problems (cataracts and glaucoma), foot problems (neuropathy/ nerve damage), skin problems (infections), high blood pressure (which raises your risk for heart attack, stroke, eye problems and kidney disease), hearing loss, oral health, mental health and early death.3
Periodontal disease is more commonly known as gum disease or gingivitis. This infection is serious enough, that it can lead to tooth loss if left untreated. This chronic infection starts around the tooth and it affects the supporting bone and gums. Periodontal disease can affect anywhere from one tooth to all thirty-two teeth. The disease pathology starts with the plaque that builds up on your teeth everyday.
Periodontal disease also known as periodontitis is the inflammatory disease of the supporting tissues of the teeth caused by specific microorganisms resulting in progressive destruction of the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone with pocket formation, recession, or both. This includes gingivitis, which is the inflammation of the gingiva and is the milder form. This later on progresses to periodontitis and is a more severe form. Periodontitis affects the periodontal ligament, alveolar bone, and cementum.

family history indicates his parents both had Type II diabetes and hypertension, resulting in their death due to complications. Alex ate out at restaurants weekly and didn’t necessary select healthy foods, and drank alcohol along with his meals. There is a lot of sugar associated in the margarita’s he drinks. With Alex’s work life, he will continue to eat out with clients, he would benefit by educating himself on heathier foods at the restaurants for dinner. Alex should pre-plan meals and beverages before he walks into the restaurant. Don’t look at the menu, and plan dinner meals early in the evening. Alex will require more physical activity, perhaps before work before his day gets hectic
What is breast cancer? According to the National Cancer Institute at the National Institute of Health breast cancer is a, “cancer that forms in tissues of the breast" (cancer.gov). More specifically breast cancer is a malignant tumor that grows inside the breast tissue. What happens is one cell in the tissue does not get the stop signal and keeps dividing into this big mass. This big mass continues to grow and grow and could eventually taking over space that is meant for other tissue or getting into the blood stream taking the dividing cells elsewhere. Breast cancer normally starts in one of two places.
Diabetes Mellitus, Type 2 is a metabolic disorder that is related to increased glucose levels in the blood, which is known as hyperglycemia. Insulin under typical function aids in carrying glucose from the body’s bloodstream into cells. However, in DM II, insulin production is hindered, insulin receptors are more resistant, and/or there is an inappropriate secretion of glucagon. This causes glucose to increase in the blood since there are not enough functioning insulin receptors to help transfer glucose to cells. Chronic elevated glucose levels damage small blood vessel resulting in peripheral neuropathy, retinopathy, and acceleration of atherosclerosis. The elevated levels also impair immune function and wound healing ability (Lippincott Williams & Wilkins, 2011).
Periodontal disease is an infection of the gingiva and alveolar bone. Periodontal disease increases in prevalence and severity as people age. Periodontal disease is precursored by gingivitis.
Diabetes Mellitus is a chronic medical condition that affects millions of people. This chronic condition is associated with high levels of glucose in the blood. As a newly diagnosed patient it is crucial to be aware how our bodies react to food consumption in regards to how insulin is produced to fully understand the concept of insulin production by the pancreas.
Diabetes is a disease in which the body is unable to properly store glucose. Diabetes is characterized by an inability of a body cell, especially liver and muscle cell that takes up glucose as they should. This can cause the blood glucose to be higher than normal. Two different types of diabetes: these are type 1 sometimes called juvenile diabetes and type 2, or adult-onset diabetes; however, both diseases may occur in children or adults. People with type 1 diabetes have to take insulin injections every day in order to survive. People with type 2 diabetes can use oral medications or insulin to keep A1C (blood test) levels balanced.
I’m going to be talking about the diagnosis, effects of Diabetes type 2, the treatments and/or management, risk factors, how common it is in Asian Americans, and some other information i’d like to provide. Diabetes is a problem with your body that causes blood glucose (sugar) levels to rise higher than normal. This is also called hyperglycemia. Diabetes type 2 is the most common form of diabetes. Type 2 Diabetes means your body doesn’t use insulin properly. Also called : “insulin resistance.” At first, your pancreas makes extra insulin to make up for it. But, overtime it isn’t able to keep up & can’t make enough insulin to keep your blood glucose at normal levels. Symptoms are increased thirst and frequent urination, increased hunger, weight lost, Fatigue, Blurred vision, slowly healing sores or frequent infections, Areas of darkened skin. Diabetes Type 2 treatments /management that you should include healthy eating, regular exercise, possibly, diabetes medication, or insulin therapy, blood sugar monitoring. Diabetes Type 2, you usually get when you are pregnant. Health care providers now know that the key to a healthy pregnancy for a women with diabetes is keeping blood glucose (sugar) in target range. - both before she’s pregnant and during her pregnancy.
There are many factors and causes to periodontitis. Some people are genetically predisposed to the disease. Their family history may have included other oral diseases or periodontal disease itself. Smoking is a large source of poor tooth health due to the chemicals that come in contact with the inside of the mouth. Smoking also decreases the amount of blood supply, making the gums malnourished. Another source is poor home health. This includes not flossing the recommended once per day or brushing twice per day. Both of these actions help decrease the amount of plaque and bacteria that negatively affect the teeth. Flossing and brushing regularly also improve gum health: the gums are less sensitive and stiffer, which helps block particles from reaching around the root. Age is a large contributor to this disease. Older people’s teeth have been used for decades, brushed many times wearing away the gums, and may have been treated hundreds of times for decay. Some elders may not have gone to a dentist, also contributing to poor dental and oral health. Diabetes also plays a role: increased risk of infection could allow the gums to become infected. Diets containing lots of sugar and acids take their toll on the mouth. The acids create holes in the teeth. This decay can easily spread to the rest of the tooth and other teeth if proper brushing techniques are not used.
