- Diabetes: Review the video on Diabetes Mellitus and beside each comment mark whether it refers to type 1 or type 2 diabetes: a. Patient is young, has frequent urination, excessive thirst and is losing weight: b. Patient is older,overweight and elevated blood sugar: c. Fasting blood sugar Is routinely above 100; d. The patient's pancreas is not producing any insulin: e. The patient's pancreas is producing insulin, but their insulin receptors on the cells of body are not working (this type of diabetes can often be reversed if patient loses weight):

a. Type 1 diabetes: The patient is young, has frequent urination, excessive thirst, and is losing weight. These symptoms are characteristic of Type 1 diabetes, which is an autoimmune condition where the pancreas produces little to no insulin.<br /><br />b. Type 2 diabetes: The patient is older, overweight, and has elevated blood sugar. These are common characteristics of Type 2 diabetes, which is often associated with lifestyle factors such as diet and exercise.<br /><br />c. Type 2 diabetes: Fasting blood sugar routinely above 100 is a common indicator of Type 2 diabetes. This condition is often associated with insulin resistance rather than a lack of insulin production.<br /><br />d. Type 1 diabetes: The patient's pancreas is not producing any insulin. This is a hallmark of Type 1 diabetes, where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.<br /><br />e. Type 2 diabetes: The patient's pancreas is producing insulin, but their insulin receptors on the cells of the body are not working. This condition is often referred to as insulin resistance and is a common feature of Type 2 diabetes. It can often be managed or reversed with lifestyle changes such as weight loss.
