According to her article, in the past pumps were recommended for people who could not control their blood sugar with three to four shots a day. She lists the pro and cons of choosing between the pump and shots, such as: cost, training, maintenance and life-style. Roberts explains about the Diabetes Care study, which is a nine month test to find out which method lowers hbA1cs, helps prevent hypoglycemia, and better quality of life. She explains about new types of insulin such as the fast-acting insulin called Lispro, which mimic the body’s natural insulin response. Researchers claim with Lispro you have equally good control over diabetes (22).
This group excluded one subject due to not fasting for a minimum of eight hours prior to the experiment. The experiment tested urine and blood samples every 30 minutes for two hours using Diastix reagent strips and a glucometer respectively. Results Figure 1 shows the average measurements of blood glucose levels at 30-minute intervals for two hours. For the experimental group, consuming 75.0 grams of dextrose increased blood glucose levels to 144.0 mg/dl after 30 minutes, an average increase of 55.3 mg/dl. Blood glucose levels then slowly declined for each successive measurement.
Someone believe that diet soda is healthy because it is with low or even none calories which makes us not easy to gain weight comparing to drinking regular soda. In addition, diet soda gives benefits for the diabetes, as the artificial sweeteners will not affect their blood sugar. It will not raise blood glucose level due to the lack of carbs in diet soda.

I see there point that Gatorade can cause high blood pressure, weight gain and teeth decay but who really drinks Gatorade every day? Or should I ask who can afford to? When people drink Gatorade normally it is when the doing some type of physical activity. I think unless you are drinking Gatorade on an excessive level and you are not doing any type of physical activity then you really should not have to worry about tooth decay, gaining weight or high blood pressure. Gatorade was made for athletes not for people who do not do anything.
Running head: ARGUMENT Argument Essay Student University Argument Essay This essay argues that 2% low fat milk is more recommended for middle-class adults than whole milk. As has been known for ages, milk is a big part of a child’s nutrition because it is a good source of calcium, Vitamin D, and protein. In fact, the required amount of milk for children to drink, depending on their age, is between 2 to 4 glasses of milk every day, particularly if these children don’t eat or drink any food rich in calcium like yogurt, cheese or calcium-fortified orange juice. According to the American Academy of Pediatrics, whole milk is necessary and important for babies and toddlers who are not into breastfeeding because the calories from the fat contents of whole milk are needed for the growth and brain development of children in the first 2 years of life. In addition to this, whole milk tastes better and may be the only way to encourage picky eater kids to drink milk.
Team A: Diabetes Case Study NUR 427 September 9, 2013 Amy Prichard Team A: Diabetes Case Study For this project we decided as a team to focus on Angelo Reyes for our case study. Angelo is a 40-year-old Hispanic male who has had type one diabetes since the age of 13. He sticks to a very structured schedule to control his blood sugars and administer his insulin. This paper will discuss an overview of the incidence of diabetes in the United States, the typical presenting signs of diabetes, and the potential effects of diabetes on the body. As well as the teaching requirements from the case study with two measurable learning objectives from each of the domains (cognitive, affective, and psychomotor), and the psychosocial challenges that Angelo encounters.

For the first two weeks the author made no changes to her diet. At the end of the two weeks the author analyzed her diet and compared her normal caloric intake to the Recommended Daily Allowance which was calculated by her weight, height, and activity level. According to Nutrition Health and Wellness, The Recommended Daily Allowance for the author is 1914 kcal per day (Cherif, 911). Out of those kcals the maximum recommendation for fat intake is 582 kcals, carbohydrates kcals 1125, and total intake of protein should be 63g per day. These numbers reflect the daily energy expenditure for a 30 year old 5’3” female weighing 174 pounds that exercises moderately three times a week.
Fifteen million people suffer from type II diabetes according to the American Diabetes Association (Leung 1). Upon receiving the diagnosis, these victims must surrender to the disease. Type II diabetes can lead to many other unhealthy reactions, such as heart attacks, and kidney failure (Owens 46). Some government officials are trying to take away the physical education children are receiving that can help them understand correct ways to exercise, and in becoming more aware of their eating habits (Leung 1). Without proper health education and the formation of good habits while young, the current generation will end up with a high probability of developing type II diabetes in their later years.
