How Caffeine Affects Sleep Caffeine is perhaps the most popular drug worldwide. Found in many products, including tea, cocoa, energy drinks, and of course the coffee bean, many people use it in the morning after waking up. However, because caffeine is a stimulant, and it sometimes helps people to remain alert by blocking chemicals in the brain and increasing adrenaline production, what is important to know is how caffeine affects sleep. Although caffeine is safe to consume in moderation, heavy use
Excessive urination volume (or polyuria) occurs when you urinate more than normal. Urine volume is considered excessive if it equals more than 2.5 liters per day. A “normal” urine volume depends on your age and gender. However, less than 2 liters per day is usually considered normal. Excreting excessive volumes of urine are a common condition, but should not last more than several days. Many people notice the symptom at night. In this case, it is called nocturnal polyuria.
Polydipsia is the medical term for constant thirst, and polyuria is the medical term for excessive urination. He chose the word “Diabetes” because it loosely translated to “Flowing Freely”. In modern times, Diabetes can actually be related to a long list of symptoms that had not been recorded by the ancient Egyptians
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic and life threatening disease that has become a major health problem worldwide. In the United States, Diabetes is the leading cause of health complications, including new cases of blindness, end stage liver disease, and leg or foot amputation (Rosdahl, 2008). According to the American Diabetes association, 25.8 million children and adults in the United States have diabetes. In 2007, diabetes was listed as the underlying cause on 71,382 death certificates and was listed
out? Type 2 diabetes: Type 2 diabetes is characterized by a progressive insulin secretory defect due to insulin resistance, which increases the body’s demand for insulin in order to retain glucose homeostasis. The symptoms include hyperglycemia, polyuria, polyphagia, polydipsia, fatigue, and weight loss and urine glucose. The diagnostics of type 2 diabetes include fasting glucose, oral glucose tolerance test and blood HbA1c (Zhao et al., 2015). Mary does not have any symptoms of diabetes except fatigue
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of metabolism. It is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the insulin it produces. Diabetes mellitus is a significant public problem that affects about 26 million Americans in the United States has diabetes. Diabetes can go silently undetected for a long time without symptoms. Many people first become aware that they have diabetes when they develop one of its potentially life
Scotty is exhbiting polyuria because of his blood osmolarity. Because his blood glucose concentration increased after drinking the cranberry juice and his cells were put in a hypertonic environment, water left the cells and they crenated. Water flooded into his bloodstream and
individuals to generate high blood sugar) and can be characterized by the insufficient production or improper reaction to insulin. There are three different types of DM: Type 1, Type 2, and Gestational diabetes, all of which share common symptoms include polyuria (frequent urination), polydipsia (increased thirst), and polyphagia (increased hunger) (Ahuja 1139). Generally, diabetes prevents the ingested glucose from entering the cells, ultimately depriving the body of its’ main source of energy. Type 1
are high blood sugar, hyperkalemia/ polyuria/ tachycardia/ hypotension/ acidosis/ polydipsia/ polyphagia/ kussmaul respirations and fruity breath. People who have type 2 diabetes are most likely to experience HHS also known as hyperosmolar hyperglycemic state or hyperglycemic hyperosmolar non-ketotic syndrome. This condition is also a life threatening complication caused by a high increase in blood glucose >600. Signs and symptoms that occur with HHS are polyuria/ polydipsia/ blurred vision/ headache/

Discuss the pathophysiology of Type 1 & Type 2 DM Diabetes Mellitus is a common chronic disease in which patients with it, will require lifelong behavioral and lifestyle changes. In the Unites States, DM is one of the leading causes of blindness, end stage kidney disease with dialysis or kidney transplant, along with lower extremity amputations. It is characterized by hyperglycemia or high blood sugar causing
the way it should be, a good nurse will start to investigate. Part of this investigation, especially for me, is to look around them. Look at the environment and see if anything is off. Just as the nurse in the example above realized the patient has polyuria and polydipsia, which led him to suspect diabetes, if you examine the environment of your patient, chances are you will discover the real issue (Black,
Diabetic ketoacidosis also called DKA is a very serious and life threating complication of diabetes in which the body produces excessive blood acids called ketones. This condition occurs when there is not enough insulin in the body which prevents the transport of glucose into the cells for energy. When this happens the glucose then stays in the blood stream instead of entering the cells. The body must have glucose to make energy and every cell in the body needs energy to carry out its most basic
Diabetes: The Silent Killer Roughly 25 million Americans have diabetes; it is called the “Silent Killer” because almost half of those 25 million have no idea that they even have the disease; it can strike and kill without warning. I am interested in the disease because both my grandfather and my maternal great grandmother had diabetes. However, both of them had late onset diabetes, or Type II. Diabetes Mellitus is the cause of many serious health complications such as stroke, heart disease, renal
My patient Hannah is a 10 year old 4th grade student who loves volleyball and was just diagnosed with type 1 diabetes mellitus. I’m going to explain to you what her disorder is, the signs and symptoms, causes of this disorder, body changes, economic impact, and how she will manage this disorder especially at such a young age. Type 1 diabetes mellitus also known as juvenile diabetes is a serious condition in which the pancreas produces a small amount or no insulin at all. Insulin is a hormone the
What hormonal imbalance does this patient have? The patient has a vasopressin imbalance. There is either too little or no vasopressin production by the pituitary glands, leading to the increased production of urine in the body. The increase in urine production is the only identifiable variation from the normal body processes as the specific gravity, serum sodium, and plasma osmolality all seems to be within the normal, acceptable range. This indicates that the increase in urine production is due
diabetes”. It has some connection to hereditary. Various factors contribute to type 1 diabetes as well as genetics and exposure to certain viruses. Signs and symptoms come on suddenly and include increased thirst (polydipsia), frequent urination (polyuria), extreme hunger (polyphagia), weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. Some known risks are family history, genetics, and geography. Other possible risk factors include viral exposure, low vitamin D levels, and drinking water that has nitrates
Introduction: American Diabetes Association (ADA) set a target of achieving blood glucose level in the range of 140-180 mg/dl for patients in critical conditions. Fasting glucose level should be below 140 mg/dl and random blood glucose level should be below 180 mg/dl (ADA, 2008; ADA, 2013). In hospitals it is necessity to maintain the blood glucose level in the narrow range and blood glucose monitoring should be done at the patient bedside. This maintaining blood glucose in the narrow range at the
Gestational diabetes mellitus (GDM) is an intolerance of glucose documented for the first time during pregnancy. It is usually a short-term type of diabetes and the most common health problem with pregnant women. GBM is caused by the way the hormones in pregnancy affect the mother. GDM accounts for 5-7% of all pregnancies (American Diabetes Association, 2010). During pregnancy the placenta develops and becomes the main bond between the mother and the baby. It is used to make sure the baby has
abnormal bleeding between periods and after sexual intercourse, and sometimes pain in the lower abdomen. Occasionally, there are urinary symptoms such as painful urination or a burning sensation when urinating, having to urinate more frequently (polyuria), or trouble urinating. Men may present with similar symptoms such as a mucus and fluid discharge from the urethra and urinary complaints. A rarer occurrence is testicular pain, tenderness, and swelling known as epididymitis. It is possible for patients
