Juvenile Diabetes

Juvenile mellitus diabetes is a commonly a type 1 diabetes. This form of diabetes is a condition with a disordered metabolism. It is exhibited in high glucose levels due to lack of or insufficiency of insulin secretion in the pancreas organ. It happens in such a way that when a juvenile eats food it is broken down into glucose. The sugar has propensity of exceeding bloodstream into certain body cells using a hormone known as the insulin. This hormone is manufactured in the pancreas.

Usually the pancreas has the capability of producing a correct or a specified amount of insulin but due to some factors the process can be altered. The pancreas produces the right amount of insulin to contain the quantity of sugar. Nevertheless if a person, in this case a juvenile possesses the diabetes condition the pancreas simply produces small or no insulin (World Health Organisation, 2011). This condition is critical hence there is the necessity to have clinical rotation experience to gather more knowledge about the disease. The clinical rotation experience is effective since it actually provides an opportunity to actually engage with the patients with the condition furthering their skills and knowledge.

This is as a result of cells not being able to act in response to insulin in an expected way. Because of this, sugar is able to put up in the blood stream causing an overflow into the person’s urine and is able to pass from the body without being used. Arguably diabetes is linked up with major body complications such as heart, eyes, and even nerves especially if the blood sugar is poorly restricted over years.

Nurses are involved with assessment or diagnosis of the Type 1 diabetes. This involves obtaining the history of the current problems, t...
