Few Notes:

•Diabetes also may develop over several years, causing blindness, kidney failure, and coronary heart disease

•coronary heart disease: is a disease that makes the artery that supply oxygen to the heart too narrow

Types of diabetes :

• Type I

• Type II

• Gestational diabetes

• Drug induced diabetes


Type I :

•It occurs when a mutation happens in the body’s immune system, making T-cells

destroy the pancreas cells, producing insulin (β-cells).

•Note: T-cells is immune cells which are the primary type that defends the body against microbes, and it is a type of white blood cells

•Insulin: the hormone the regulates the percentage of glucose in the blood.

•This type leads to diabetic ketoacidosis; I will discuss it later.


Type II :

•It represents 35-40% of diabetes cases in adults

•The blood has enough insulin, but proteins receptor has not sensitized it

•For example, the liver cell's protein receptor membranes recognize the insulin and activate the glucose transport protein that moves glucose into liver cells; if the process does not work, liver cells will not take glucose.

• The reason why cells do not respond to glucose is not understood until now. The cells look like insulin resistance Some factors affect the cells and make them insulin resistant:

• Obesity – lack of exercise –hypertension.

•Excess of fats causes a lot of fatty acids, which causes inflammation which causes cell resistance.

•Inflammation: body processes that fight against things that harm it

•Many obese people do not have diabetes, so this reasoning is not actually in all cases

.•In type II, beta cells still secrets insulin into the blood without responding after a long time; it becomes exhausted and changed to type II.


So we can conclude that :

•Type I cannot prevented 

•Type II can be prevented


Gestational diabetes :

•Pregnant women have increased in glucose level in blood during pregnancy at third week this because some hormones during pregnancy


Drug induced diabetes :

•Medication side effects which cause increase in glucose level in our blood this related to insulin resistance cells
