Q. I am suffering from type 2 diabetes (non insulin dependent diabetes mellitus). I am looking for a herbal / natural / ayurvedic solution which is safe and effective for long term use.
A. No. There are many things that claim to be, but in truth, they don't do much of anything. And some of it can interact badly with the drugs you are taking for your diabetes. I have done my time in the hospital trying alternatives......
What are the differences between type 1 diabetes mellitus and type 2 diabetes mellitus?
Q. I'd prefer the answer come from the Marieb Anatomy and Physiology text book. If you can answer this, please cite the page number(s) you referenced.
A. I don't have the book, but I do know the differences, if this helps:
type 1 diabetes happens when your pancreas cannot produce insulin. no one really knows why your pancreas cannot produce insulin, but some believe that it might have something to do with an autoimmune disease (your immune system attacking itself). type 1 diabetes is more prevalent among young people mostly between the ages of 7-16. Now, the reason you need insulin is so that your cells can pickup the sugar (glucose) from the bloodstream and transform it into energy. when insulin is not available, glucose levels stay high for long periods of time (high blood sugar). This in turn is dangerous because sugar starts taking water out of your cells, and because sugar can start scraping the blood vessels and eventually make them weaker.
type 2 diabetes is also a high blood sugar disease, but this is a different story. with type 2 diabetes, your pancreas works just fine, but your cells are resistant to insulin. type 2 diabetes is more prevalent in adults, and the causes are more genetic, or related to obesity, since obesity prevents the cells from utilizing the insulin.
hope this helps

How is diabetes mellitus a risk factor for developing atheroma?
Q. I can understand that badly controlled blood glucose levels may lead to damage to walls of blood vessels, hence making them more susceptible to developing atheroma, but is simply having Type 1 and Type 2 a risk factor to atheroma when blood sugar levels are near perfectly controlled?

Each of the tiles matches one of the descriptions associated with diabetes mellitus.?
Q. �Polydipsia
�Obesity
�Glycosuria
�Metabolic acidosis
�Hyperglycaemia
1.is a feature of Type-II rather than type-I diabetes mellitus.
2.is seen when the requirment for insulin is greater than is secretion
3.causes an osmotic diuresis
4.diuresis leads to dehydration which promotes thirst and drinking.
5.can cause respiratory compensation leading to hyperventilation.
