Glucose is an essential energy molecule for humans but an excess amount in the blood can leave to stroke, organ failure, and may other severe health issues, ]]> 2021-02-01 15:57:45 UTC https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1149408016 eepollock https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1151748428 When glucose enters the bloodstream,  cells in the pancreas are supposed to be stimulated to release an important hormone called insulin.  However in people with type one diabetes enough insulin is not released which could lead to and excess amount glucose causing symptoms like fatigue, exhaustion, and dizziness. So in order to combat this you inject a certain type of insulin whenever it is necessary.]]> 2021-02-02 03:51:08 UTC https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1151748428 eepollock https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1151787442 When the insulin is injected into the body and reaches the cell receptors, specifically insulin receptors, it binds with them. This activates a pathway allowing the cell to take in glucose from the bloodstream to use as energy.]]> 2021-02-02 04:13:35 UTC https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1151787442 lcfranks https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1165270200 When glucose makes its way into the bloodstream, cells in the pancreas release a hormone into the bloodstream called insulin that tells the cells in our body to take in glucose. In type 1 diabetics, the pancreas makes little to no insulin, which is not enough for the body.]]> 2021-02-04 18:11:57 UTC https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1165270200 lcfranks https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1165336930 Since in Type 1 diabetes, the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, the cells have a reduced ability to use glucose from the foods they eat. Since the cells would use this glucose to make energy, an insufficient amount of energy is produced for the body to use. ]]> 2021-02-04 18:23:07 UTC https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1165336930 kalea2 https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1174566780 While the exact cause of type one diabetes is uncertain, it is widely accepted that this disease is a result from the bodies immune system mistakenly attacking the insulin creating cells in the pancreas, these are known as the beta cells. The immune system is designed to attack any unwanted bacteria in the body, but by deming beta cells as harmful, the immune system is getting rid of the insulin the body needs in order to regulate blood sugar levels.]]> 2021-02-07 22:48:42 UTC https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1174566780 kalea2 https://padlet.com/jkkempf/82nmxnae5w5mdw6i/wish/1174575428 Another speculated cause for type 1 diabetes are outside factors and genetics. Exposure to viruses or other environmental factors during your life has the ability to trigger the response of the immune system which characterizes type 1 diabetes. Genetics is also a contributor as type 1 diabetes involves an inherited susceptibility to developing the disease when one or both of the parents have the disease.
