1. obesity 2. Hyperglycemia 3. Polydipsia 4. ANother guess 5. a wrong guess
2 :
if you switch 4 and 5 you will have it right. the respiratory compensation is due to diabetic ketoacidosis- a more specific definition of the type of metabolic acidosis- you breath harder to blow of the CO2 and reduce the acid. The diuresis is due to too glycosuria which causes a osmotic diuresis- reducing your volume and you end up activating thirst centers and start drinking. Other complex events also occur but in a nut shell this covers it.
3 :
1. Obesity-- is only related to Type II. With type I, you see thin young kids. 2. Hyperglycemia-- high blood sugar needs more insulin than is secreted. 3.Glycosuria-- how osmolality works--is when there is too much glucose/solutes, water is pulled into that area 4. Polydipsia-- excessive thirst and drinking 5. Metabolic acidosis-- results from diabetic ketoacidosis (caused by build up of fat digestion products--ketones-- due to lack of usable glucose, the body has digested fat). Rapid breathing/respiratory compensation is a symptom of ketoacidosis. Acidosis can lead to severe illness/death. Deena, you need to understand these yourself. Please review your book! I encourage you to do that for learning sake.

Help With My Human Anatomy Case Study? ?
A 21 year old noncompliant male with a history of type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes mellitus was found in a coma. His blood glucose was high, as well as his urine glucose, urine ketones, and serum ketones. His serum bicarbonate was <12 mEq/L. His respiration was exaggerated and his breath had an acetone odor. His blood pressure was 90/60 and his pulse weak and rapid. 1. Is this person experiencing ketoacidosis or insulin shock? Explain your answer. 2. Why is the serum bicarbonate low? 3.

diabetic ketoacidosis. i won't give you all the answers, but check wikipedia under "diabetic ketoacidosis". and any time you have a diabetic with a strange breath odor, this is probably DKA.

1 ketoacidosis 2. metabolic acidosis 3 acidosis stimulates breathing, and produces vasodilatation. Vasodilatation gives low BP 4. Mainly insulin, NaHCO3 IV, monitoring of electrolytes acid-base status and heart function

1. Exocrine glands are glands that retain ducts to body surfaces. Most glands of the body are exocrine types with ducts connecting to anatomical surfaces; salivary, sweat. Endocrine glands are therefore referred to as "ductless" glands. Endocrine glands are the hormone producing structures of the body; pancreas, thyroid. Ugh, only one answer per question ><

What would be a good conclusion for this essay

What would be a good conclusion for this essay?
The population of Bahrain suffers from one of the highest prevalence rates of diabetes in the world. Talk to any medical professional in the kingdom and theyâ€™ll tell you it is one of the most pressing health issue the country faces. Currently around 15 per cent of the population suffers from diabetes, with the illness causing five percent of deaths in Bahrain. Yet, thanks to the symptoms being so various and relatively difficult to self-diagnose, up to half of those suffering donâ€™t even know theyâ€™ve got it. Diabetes is a metabolic disease which is caused by abnormal insulin secretion that regulates glucose use by the cell for energy. The result is a high glucose in the blood leading to damage to the blood vessels supplying main organs and tissues like the kidney, eye, nerves and the heart. According to the International Diabetes Federation, five countries among the six highest diabetes prevalence rates in the world are Gulf States countries, including Bahrain which is ranked the fifth. The seriousness of the problem is that 50 percent of cases are unaware that they have the disease but even those diagnosed with diabetes are identified after years of the disease with no symptoms. This is a silent disease and most patients have no symptoms and this underscores the need for early screening for those at risk of the disease. It is estimated that diabetes prevalence will increase by more than two fold in Bahrain in the next two decades. Diabetes mellitus has become one of the most common public health problems in the country. In 1988 it was estimated that 3.4% of total deaths in Bahrain were due to diabetes. There are many solutions to cure diabetes before it occurs and after it occurs; depending on the stage it is in. each solution depends on the stage and type of diabetes the individual has. The solutions are; Hydrotherapy, Detoxification, Herbal medicines, and Mud Therapy. These solutions should be carried immediately for individuals in order to solve the diabetes problem. The symptoms can be very unnoticeable so check ups are highly recommended if any of the less visible are seen or felt by the individual.
