PBS 2.1.5 Part II: Diabetes Dilemma - Jonathan Liang, Nathan Love, Keely Grandis, Micah Smith by Jonathan Liang https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m Summarizes the insulin-glucose connection for a type 1 diabetic and describes what occurs in the body of a type 1 diabetic after they consume a carbohydrate-heavy meal. en-us 2021-02-02 14:10:56 UTC 2025-11-05 04:51:28 UTC hello@padlet.com Type 1 Diabetes jliang36 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153711706 You can be diagnosed with type one diabetes due to two factors. For one, this can occur when your own immune system mistakenly destroys insulin producing cells in the pancreas. Type one diabetes can also occur in the body due to genetics and exposure to viruses. Now, lets look into the process of what occurs after a type 1 diabetic eats carbohydrates.]]> 2021-02-02 14:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153711706 Insulin jliang36 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153711723 Now, after the carbs have been metabolized into glucose, the body normally releases insulin to move this glucose out of the blood stream. This is done by signaling the liver and muscle and fat cells to take in glucose from the blood. However, this cannot occur in a type one diabetic, as they have complete lack of insulin. This is second on the timeline as insulin can only be activated (if present at all) if a carbohydrate heavy meal is metabolized into glucose. 3rd actioon.]]> 2021-02-02 14:10:56 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153711723 Cell Receptors kcgrandis1 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153743727 Once glucose is released into the blood stream the pancreas releases hormones which instruct the body to produce insulin. ]]> 2021-02-02 14:16:39 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153743727 Genetics kcgrandis1 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153747848 One can be more likely to contract diabetes due to genetics. If your family history consists of a a long line of diabetes your odds are not in your favor. Sometimes environment can also be a factor of contracting diabetes. Particularly cold weather has been associated with developing diabetes. Type 1 diabetes normally becomes apparent in childhood. The cause of diabetes stems from an issue in the pancreas. Often times defected pancreases can run in the family, similar to how families may have weaker eyes and need glasses.  ]]> 2021-02-02 14:17:23 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153747848 Glucose jliang36 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153753365 Glucose is the main type of sugar for the blood and is a major source of energy for the body's cells. Glucose is normally obtained through the food that we eat but the body. Under normal conditions, insulin tells the body to take in the glucose.]]> 2021-02-02 14:18:21 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153753365 Energy nalove https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153770948 The most common cause of acute fatigue in people with Type 1 diabetes is hypoglycemia. A symptom of low blood sugar that is sometimes missed, a feeling of sudden tiredness or being drained of all energy should prompt you to check your glucose levels]]> 2021-02-02 14:21:15 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153770948 Goals kcgrandis1 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1153971082
  • Discuss the pros and cons of virtual visits and remote monitoring. 
    • Pros: Saves time, Money, resources, controls the spread of disease, helps rural areas
    Cons: Relies on internet, Limits assessment abilities, Security,   
    • Describe the impact of telemedicine on the health care field.
    Telemedicine makes it easier then ever to diagnose a patient with a few simple clicks. This is saving so much time and effort. However, it is harder to get an accurate read of the patient and their condition, increasing invalidity.
    • Explain how the body maintains homeostasis.
    Through positive and negative feedback.

This fits the timeline as it is the next step in the digestion process of carbohydrates in a type one diabetes diagnosed diabetic. ]]> 2021-02-05 14:24:24 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1168364372 Carbohydrate Heavy meal mssmith9 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1168367267 This is a meal that contains high quantities of carbohydrates. This directly relates to type one diabetes as consuming carbohydrates results in high blood sugar for diabetic persons.]]> 2021-02-05 14:24:58 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1168367267 Autoimmune Reaction mssmith9 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1168375961 Type 1 diabetes can be caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the cells located in the pancreas that produces insulin celled beta cells. An autoimmune reaction is when the body attacks itself by mistake.]]> 2021-02-05 14:26:38 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1168375961 Pancreas kcgrandis1 https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1168470542 Someone who has type 1 diabetes lacks a sufficient amount of insulin.  The importance of Insulin is large as our body needs it to create energy for vital functions and activities within our body. Without the ability to make enough energy someone with diabetes is left to turn to medicine such as taking injections of the hormone insulin. This shot will decrease the amount of glucose in your blood stream as too much can be harmful. Insulin is released to stimulate cell receptors to digest and break down the glucose in the blood stream. ]]> 2021-02-05 14:44:43 UTC https://padlet.com/jliang36/qqu90avgqp30sg0m/wish/1168470542
