Type 2 Diabetes by Louise Chen https://padlet.com/s1000261655/katao0e5vm8g en-us 2017-11-29 19:53:02 UTC 2017-12-16 19:33:48 UTC hello@padlet.com How does blood glucose increase? s1000101964 https://padlet.com/s1000261655/katao0e5vm8g/wish/212063520
  • Your pancreas makes extra insulin to try and keep up with the body but over time the insulin that the pancreas makes isn't able to make enough to keep it at normal levels. If insulin can not open the cells up, glucose stays in the bloodstream increasing the blood sugar.
  • For most type 2 diabetics their glucose level may still be very high at times. Since type 2 diabetics already have insulin in their bodies but are not as effective, their glucose level get increase a lot overtime.

Glucose (sugar) is a source of fuel from our bodies usually from the foods we eat. Insulin (found in the pancreas) is a hormone that regulates how much sugar or glucose is circulating in your blood stream to maintain normal levels of blood sugar. If you do not have enough insulin then the sugar stays in your bloodstream leading to diabetes.]]> 2017-12-02 05:35:52 UTC https://padlet.com/s1000261655/katao0e5vm8g/wish/212478521 What is type 2 diabetes? s1000261655 https://padlet.com/s1000261655/katao0e5vm8g/wish/212478804 Type 2 diabetes, unlike type 1, still makes insulin but the body does not respond to it. Insulin acts as a "key" to allow glucose to enter a cell for energy. However, this "key" is "broken" so glucose is less able to enter the cells which causes blood sugar levels to increase.This causes the pancreas to produce more insulin but at a certain point the pancreas "wears out" and stops making insulin to maintain blood glucose levels. ]]> 2017-12-02 05:44:32 UTC https://padlet.com/s1000261655/katao0e5vm8g/wish/212478804 Fun fact s1000261655 https://padlet.com/s1000261655/katao0e5vm8g/wish/212479208 Type 2 diabetes is the most common type of diabetes.
