| ===== Introduction ===== | ===== Introduction ===== | ||
| Diabetes mellitus (commonly referred to as diabetes) is a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects of insulin secretion. The prevalence of this disease has skyrocketed since the beginning of the 21st century, becoming the seventh most common global cause of death in 2016 (World Health Organization, 2018). This increase is most likely due to the lifestyle shift in North American and European countries. The domination of fast food chains and increased automation in the workplace and streets has lead to a decrease in physical activity and healthy eating habits. | Diabetes mellitus (commonly referred to as diabetes) is a group of metabolic disorders caused by defects of insulin secretion.

| There are four major categories of this disease: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and specialized types of diabetes (Egan and Dinneen, 2014). Type 1 diabetes is caused by the destruction of pancreatic β-cells. The most common method of destruction being facilitated by the body’s inflammatory response. Type 2 diabetes is caused by insulin resistance, which is mediated by dysfunctional pancreatic β-cells. Gestational diabetes occurs when the onset of diabetes is during pregnancy. The final major category of diabetes (specialized types) encompasses a large variety of diseases that can be categorized as diabetes but have different onsets and mechanisms from the first three categories. The most common example is maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY), which is an inherited form of diabetes and associated with mutations in hepatic genes (Egan and Dinneen, 2014). | There are four major categories of this disease: Type 1 diabetes, Type 2 diabetes, gestational diabetes, and specialized types of diabetes (Egan and Dinneen, 2014).

| - | The primary regulator of blood glucose uptake is the hormone Insulin. Insulin most commonly acts upon the IGF-1 receptor located across the cell membrane. A Deficiency of insulin or an issue with its receptors therefore plays a major role in the development of all types of diabetes. | + | The primary regulator of blood glucose uptake is the hormone Insulin.

| == Insulin Signal Transduction Pathway == | == Insulin Signal Transduction Pathway == | ||
| - | Insulin is released into the bloodstream from β-cells located in islets of Langerhans, a region of the pancreas. When a rise in blood glucose occurs, glucose enters the β-cell through the GLUT-2 inter-membrane receptor. It is then through a signal transduction cascade that voltage-gated calcium ion channels open, allowing extracellular calcium ions to enter the cell. Ca2+ can then activate insulin-gene expression via CREB (Calcium Responsive Element Binding Protein). At the same time, Ca2+ binds to insulin storing vesicles, which causes exocytosis of the insulin in the bloodstream. | + | Insulin is released into the bloodstream from β-cells located in islets of Langerhans, a region of the pancreas.

| - | It is at two places in the insulin signaling mechanisms that diabetes can occur. Within the islets of Langerhans, insulin can either being produced in minimal quantities or none at all. This could be caused by numerous issues, such as lack of insulin-gene expression, improper transcription, translation, or folding of the protein, and non-functioning β-cells to name only a few. | + | It is at two places in the insulin signaling mechanisms that issues can occur.

| == Management == | == Management == | ||
| - | Diabetes is a chronic disease, meaning that there is no known cure. However, there are ways to actively manage and control the disease through factors such as lifestyle choices and medication. The most frequent method of management is controlling blood sugar levels. The goal of management is to keep blood sugar within a range close to what would be considered normal, without causing low blood sugar. Once diagnosed, the patient must go through significant lifestyle changes, such as losing weight, increasing activity, switching diets, insulin injections as well as oral medications in the case of type II diabetes. | + | Diabetes is a chronic disease, meaning that there is no known cure.

| A major part of the disease treatment is through education. Since the progress of the disease depends a lot on personal lifestyle choices, it is important that patients continue learning and actively taking part in their treatment program. | A major part of the disease treatment is through education.

| - | Medications used to treat diabetes act on lowering blood sugar levels. There are different types of anti-diabetic medications. Oral medication, such as metformin, is commonly prescribed while others are administered by injections. Type 1 diabetes can only be treated with insulin, either through insulin injections or insulin analogs. | + | Medications used to treat diabetes act on lowering blood sugar levels.

| - | Weight loss surgery is usually recommended for obese patients to promote long term blood glucose control. Operations such as gastric bypass may be conducted in order for patients to gain more control over their weight. Post-operation, many patients are able to control their blood glucose without the use of any medication. Long term mortality and complications from both diabetes and obesity are also decreased. However, around 1% of patients have increased short term risks of mortality post surgery. Usually, this surgery is considered for patients that are unable to get both blood sugar and weight under control. | + | Weight loss surgery is usually recommended for obese patients to promote long term blood glucose control.

Decreasing sugar intake and increasing foods rich in fiber have been known to decrease risk factors. Consuming less saturated fats along with quitting smoking have also shown to decrease type II diabetes risk factors as well. | + | Type I diabetes has no known means of prevention, however Type II diabetes can either be prevented or delayed through healthy lifestyle choices such as exercise, healthy diets, and maintaining a healthy body weight.

| - | ===== Conclusion ===== | + | ===== Final Remarks ===== |
| - | In conclusion, Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are both prevalent global diseases with long term consequences. Although there is still much we do not understand about the diseases, we have come a long way and are advancing at a remarkable rate. The rate that the disease has been diagnosed should alarm all health organizations and encourage everyone to implement more preventative programs encouraging active, healthy lifestyles. This is especially true for North America, with the current culture of fast food and sedentary lifestyle. By maintaining diligence in our research, we can continue to find ways to make the disease more manageable for day-to-day living. | + | Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes are both prevalent global diseases with long term consequences.
