The risk for type 2 Diabetes goes up as you get older because you lose muscle mass and usually gain weight from being unable to be active. The risk for developing the disease is higher in men (Santos).]]> 2018-04-18 18:53:33 UTC https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253165756 How the Disorder is Treated? -Maria 14686751 https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253165875 1. To maintain a healthy life with type 2 diabetes, you have to eat healthy and exercise regularly. This will ensure that you prevent consuming/withholding sugar in your body. You also need to monitor your blood sugar. If necessary, take insulin shots (Mayo).]]> 2018-04-18 18:53:49 UTC https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253165875 How the Disorder Diagnosed? -Aimee 14686751 https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166034 1. To diagnose type 2 diabetes doctors first run blood tests to see if your blood pressure/sugar is higher than normal. Then they continue from that to conducting the Glycated hemoglobin (A1C) test, the oral glucose tolerance test and the fasting blood sugar test (Mayo). This allows them to see how your body reacts to the sugars and how much medication they will need to give you (dosages/type of medication).]]> 2018-04-18 18:54:10 UTC https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166034 How the Disorder is Inherited? -Aimee 14686751 https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166211 1. Type 2 Diabetes is passed down through defective genes (Demezko). This is not a sex-linked trait but is a recessive trait (Rubinstein). ]]> 2018-04-18 18:54:28 UTC https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166211 Effect of the Disorder -Jordan 14686751 https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166362 1. Since the enzyme needed to break down the glucose is absent, it does not get broken down and builds up as fat. The body can no longer maintain a normal blood sugar level (Mayo) which can be dangerous if it were to get too high or too low.
2. There are many symptoms that can stem from Diabetes. A few of these are: weight loss, increased hunger, vision blurring/loss, nerve damage, and heavy fatigue. It can also lead to other diseases such as, heart disease and Alzheimer's (Mayo). More symptoms include: a loss of feeling in fingers and toes and being unable to soothe the increased appetite. ]]> 2018-04-18 18:54:45 UTC https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166362 Cause of the Disorder -Jordan 14686751 https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166455 1. The sugars that you intake need to be broken down, by an enzyme, in order to be used. The disease is caused from a mutation that prevents that enzyme, insulin, from being produced (Demezko).
2. This disease is caused from a mutation passed down/inherited through your genes (Demezko). It can also be brought on and/or worsened due to a poor diet and a lack of exercise (Mayo).  ]]> 2018-04-18 18:54:56 UTC https://padlet.com/14686751/wsao314wcdlv/wish/253166455
