“Diabetes can be tackled in different ways- by insulin and diet” (Rudy, 1999, page 19) Diet, when someone had diabetes it is best for their health to cut right down on the unhealthy foods, and stick to the health foods, this is due to the effectiveness of the medication you are on. If you eat junk food and do not eat healthy then your medication will not be as effective as it could be. Sticking to regular mealtimes is also another thing that could help you feel better as it will keep your “blood glucose levels under control”. (Rudy, 1999, page 20) There are 2 types of carbohydrates, 1 that is good for controlling diabetes and 1 that is really bad, these are starchy and sugary. Sugary- this is the 1 that people with diabetes should stay clear of, this is due to the “glucose getting into your bloodstream fast, this could cause a sudden rise in blood glucose levels”.
Extra glucose cannot be used because of insulin deficiency and and blood glucose level rises, which contributes to further, adding to the osmotic diuresis. 4. What acid-based disturbances commonly occur and why? Arterial blood pH less than 7.30, serum bicarbonate level less than 15 mEq/L (15 mmol/L), and moderate-large ketones in the urine or blood ketones. 5.
A. Atrial Natriuretic Hormone B. Anti Diuretic Hormene C. Follicle Stimulating Hormone D. Insulin Like Growth Factor 26. Residual volume is a factor in determining Vital Capacity . True . False 27. What hormone is responsible for decreasing the level of calcium in the blood .
Review the effect of pH on enzyme function. Students should understand that enzymes function best at specific pH levels (which vary depending on the enzyme). Non-optimal pH levels can affect the shape of the enzyme, thereby decreasing its effectiveness as a catalyst. Extreme pH levels can permanently denature the enzyme protein, whereas less extreme pH conditions may only temporarily alter . Lactase is effective at pH 2 – 7 (including dH2O) and therefore breaks down the lactose sugar in milk into glucose and galactose.
Explain the pathophysiology underlying the patient’s abnormal ESR. With an underactive thyroid the patient would have an abnormal T3 and T4 count. These are the hormones secreted by the thyroid. Her fasting Glucose level was high as well. This could be due to a poor diet which would also explain the weight gain.
Nitroglycerin is a smooth muscle relaxer and vasodilator. This drug provides myocardial oxygen which reduces myocardial wall tension. Reduction in myocardial wall tension corresponds with lower systolic pressure. Beta blockers are antagonistic beta receptor blockers which act on the heart to reduce the amount of work the cardiac muscles have to do. By blocking beta receptors, the heart rate will be slowed and reduces demand for oxygen and contractility.
“Fibers that cannot be digested by bacteria in the large intestines are called insoluble fibers because they do not dissolve in water.” (Grosvenor & Smolin, 2006) High fiber diets can produce many benefits, including higher nutrient absorption levels, and better waste output. Diets that tend to lack in fiber or are high in insoluble fiber tend to cause gastrointestinal irritation and constipation. People that experience these symptoms should consider reviewing their fiber sources, and water consumption
Carb-Cutter; Blocker of Carbs or a Phony? Rumor has it that there is a miracle weight loss product that slows down the digestion of carbohydrates. These diet pills contain carb-cutter which blocks amylase, the enzyme that breaks down starch into glucose. With this being done, Carb-Cutter neutralizes the amylase before it starts the breakdown. This allows your body to pass starch through without turning it into glucose.
This occurs when there is a deficiency of the hormone called insulin, or when body tissues are resistant to the actions of insulin. Insulin is normally released from the pancreas in response to rising glucose levels in the blood. It travels through the blood system with the glucose and enables the glucose to enter the body’s cells thus providing the cell, organs and body with the energy they need to function. In a diabetic person, depending on the type of diabetes, one or a combination of the above processes does not occur resulting in a buildup of glucose in the blood (National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases 2014). 6.
Don’t smoke. Exercise can increase your levels of HDL. There are also some medication to help lower your cholesterol. Statins, Niacin, Bile-acid resins and fibrates are the drugs proven to lower cholesterol. Mr. Brown: What are the side effects of the
