This presentation introduces the types of Diabetes and updates on the care, support and information available from Diabetes UK.
It also lets know how one can get involved and support in dealing with Diabetes.
Diabetes is caused by a lack of insulin, which controls blood sugar levels. Around 3 million people in the UK have diabetes, and many more are undiagnosed. Without treatment, diabetes can cause serious health problems like heart disease, stroke, kidney disease, limb amputation, and vision loss. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 is usually diagnosed in younger people and requires lifelong insulin treatment, while type 2 is often linked to obesity and older age and can sometimes be managed through diet and exercise. The number of diabetes cases is rising rapidly due to increasing obesity and sedentary lifestyles.
This document provides an overview of diabetes, including its causes, symptoms, types, and treatment/management. It discusses the following key points:
- Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the body cannot properly process glucose due to not producing or properly using insulin. There are three main types: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes.
- Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, and fatigue. Long term complications can impact the heart, kidneys, eyes, nerves and skin.
- Risk factors include genetics, obesity, and lack of exercise. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as medication and insulin for type 1 diabetes. Regular screening and
Diabetes is a global disease that affects over 366 million people worldwide and is projected to increase to over 4.4% of the population by 2030. It occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the body cannot effectively use the insulin produced, resulting in high blood sugar. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1, type 2, and gestational diabetes. Common symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, hunger, weight loss, and fatigue. Without treatment, diabetes can lead to serious complications affecting the eyes, kidneys, heart, nerves, and feet. Diagnosis involves blood tests to check glucose levels, such as fasting blood glucose and HbA1c levels. Treatment focuses on lifestyle changes like diet,
- 29.1 million people in the US have diabetes, which is about 1 in 11 people. 86 million adults have prediabetes.
- Without lifestyle changes, 15-30% of people with prediabetes will develop type 2 diabetes within 5 years. Risk factors for type 2 diabetes include family history, being overweight, and having gestational diabetes.
- The annual medical costs and lost work and wages for diagnosed diabetes in the US is $245 billion. People with diabetes are also at higher risk of serious health complications and have medical costs about twice as high compared to those without diabetes.
Type 1 diabetes, also known as juvenile diabetes, is an autoimmune disorder where the body's immune system destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. It is characterized by fluctuating blood sugar levels that must be managed through insulin injections or pumps. The Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation holds walks and fundraisers to support research for a cure and improve the lives of the millions of children living with type 1 diabetes.
This document provides information about diabetes, including its causes, types, symptoms, complications, diagnosis, and prevention strategies. Diabetes is a metabolic disease where the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or cells are insulin resistant, resulting in high blood glucose levels. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1 caused by destruction of pancreatic beta cells; type 2 which is more common in adults and associated with genetics and obesity; and gestational diabetes which occurs during pregnancy. Uncontrolled diabetes can lead to serious complications affecting the kidneys, eyes, nerves, and blood vessels. Treatment involves monitoring blood glucose levels, exercise, diet, medication and regular medical checkups to prevent or delay complications.
The document discusses how to reverse pre-diabetes and avoid diabetes through dietary and lifestyle changes. It outlines the problem of rising rates of obesity and diabetes in the US due to changes in eating habits. The solution presented is adopting a system of healthy eating, exercise, weight loss, and nutritional supplementation to reverse pre-diabetes and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
Nearly 8% of Americans have diabetes, and many more are at risk. Diabetes is a disease where the body does not properly produce or use insulin, resulting in high blood glucose levels. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1, where the body does not produce insulin, and type 2, which affects 90% of diabetics and involves insulin resistance. Treatments depend on the type and severity of diabetes and may include diet, exercise, pills, or insulin shots completely necessary for type 1 diabetes but also used for more severe type 2 cases.
Type 2 diabetes is a long-term disorder where the body cannot properly use sugar due to insufficient insulin production or ineffective insulin. Risk factors include family history, being overweight, high blood pressure, or over 40 years old. Symptoms include excessive thirst, frequent urination, tiredness and blurred vision. In New Zealand, around 110,000 people have type 2 diabetes, a number that is rising with obesity rates. Complications include damage to blood vessels, nerves, eyes, and organs like the kidneys and heart. Family management of the disease focuses on healthy eating, regular physical activity, and consistent medical checkups.
If you have diabetes, your body isnt able to properly process and use glucose from the food you eat. There are different types of diabetes, each with different causes, but they all share the common problem of having too much glucose in your bloodstream. Treatments include medications and/or insulins. Some types of diabetes can be prevented by adopting a healthy lifestyle.
Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar levels. There are several types of diabetes including type 1 caused by the immune system destroying insulin-producing cells, type 2 caused by insulin resistance or lack of insulin production, and gestational diabetes during pregnancy. Symptoms include increased thirst, hunger, urination and fatigue. Diabetes is treated through medicines, diet, exercise and controlling blood sugar, blood pressure and cholesterol to reduce complications like kidney disease, eye disease and heart attack. Diabetes affects quality of life and has a significant societal impact through its associated healthcare costs and disability.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the pancreas stops producing insulin. It occurs most often in childhood and adolescence. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin through injections or an insulin pump to survive. Managing diabetes involves carefully monitoring blood sugar levels, administering insulin, following a meal plan, and exercising regularly. Education of both children and parents is important so they can properly care for the disease.
Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body's immune system attacks and destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas. People with type 1 diabetes must take insulin daily to survive, unlike type 2 diabetes where the body may still produce some insulin. Symptoms of type 1 diabetes include increased thirst, frequent urination, extreme hunger, weight loss, fatigue, and blurred vision. While the exact causes are unknown, genetics and environmental triggers are thought to play a role. Without proper treatment of daily insulin and blood sugar monitoring, complications can include damage to organs and tissues throughout the body. Currently there is no cure for type 1 diabetes.
This document provides an overview of diabetes presented by two pharmacy students. It defines diabetes as a state of high blood sugar levels caused by either a lack of insulin production or resistance to insulin. The key points covered include: the roles of insulin and glucagon in regulating blood sugar; the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes; signs and symptoms of diabetes; methods of diagnosis and treatment, including various medication options and insulin delivery methods; and the discovery of insulin by Banting and Best at the University of Toronto. Prevention of diabetes is emphasized as better than treatment.
Diabetes is a condition where the body cannot properly process glucose due to a lack of insulin or insulin resistance. There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 occurs most often in children/young adults and is caused by the immune system attacking insulin-producing cells, while type 2 accounts for 90-95% of cases and is associated with obesity and physical inactivity. Symptoms can include blurred vision, fatigue, frequent urination, and weight loss. Treatment involves lifestyle changes like diet, exercise, blood sugar monitoring, and sometimes insulin or other medications to control blood sugar levels and prevent complications. Good control is important to avoid damage to organs and tissues.
Diabetes can be a silent killer if left undetected and is the leading cause of blindness and kidney failure. It can also increase your chances of having a heart attack, stroke or infection.
This document provides information about prediabetes to help reduce the risk of developing diabetes. It defines prediabetes as blood sugar levels that are high but not high enough to be diabetes. The main points are:
1. Prediabetes has few or no symptoms, so blood tests are important to detect it. Uncontrolled prediabetes can lead to diabetes and health issues.
2. Risk factors for prediabetes include being overweight, family history, age over 45, high blood pressure, high cholesterol, lack of exercise, and certain ethnicities. Screening is recommended for those with risk factors.
3. Adopting a healthy diet, increasing physical activity, and losing a small amount of weight
Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where blood glucose levels are too high due to the body's inability to properly use or produce insulin. There are two main types of diabetes - type 1 where the body does not produce insulin and type 2 where the body does not properly use insulin. If left uncontrolled, diabetes can lead to serious complications that damage the eyes, kidneys, nerves, heart, and blood vessels. Treatment involves healthy eating, physical activity, medication, insulin as needed, and monitoring of blood glucose levels. Uncontrolled diabetes significantly increases the risk of blindness, heart disease, kidney disease and other health issues.
This document discusses diabetes, including its types, symptoms, causes, prevention, and facts. Diabetes is a group of metabolic diseases characterized by high blood sugar due to either lack of insulin production or cells not responding properly to insulin. The main types are type 1, caused by destruction of insulin-producing cells, and type 2, often related to lifestyle. Symptoms include frequent urination, thirst, fatigue, and hunger. Prevention focuses on healthy eating, physical activity, and weight control. Complications can be reduced through proper treatment and control of blood glucose levels.
The National Diabetes Education Program (NDEP) aims to reduce the burden of diabetes in the US through facilitating adoption of proven diabetes prevention and management approaches. NDEP develops science-based educational resources for consumers and partners. It works with over 200 partners and its materials are available in many languages. During National Diabetes Month, NDEP's theme is "Diabetes is a Family Affair" and it provides resources focusing on family history risk, family support, and community health. NDEP encourages participation through social media and collaboration with partners.
There are two main types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the body destroys insulin-producing cells, requiring insulin treatment. Type 2 diabetes results from the body not producing enough insulin or cells ignoring insulin, and can usually be treated through diet and medication changes. Both types result in high blood glucose levels over time and can lead to chronic complications affecting the kidneys, nerves, feet, eyes, heart, and other organs if not properly managed. Common symptoms of high blood glucose include extreme thirst, frequent urination, blurred vision, and weight changes. Treatment focuses on monitoring blood sugar levels, exercise, diet, medications including insulin injections, and preventing severe long-term health issues.
Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels due to the body either not producing enough insulin or not properly responding to insulin. There are four main types of diabetes - type 1, type 2, gestational diabetes, and prediabetes. Symptoms include increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. While diabetes has no cure, lifestyle changes like healthy eating, exercise, and medication adherence can help manage the disease and prevent or delay complications that can damage organs. Education is key to understanding diabetes and how to live well with the condition.

This document discusses the different types of diabetes. It explains that diabetes is a chronic disease where blood sugar levels are high. The two main types are type 1 and type 2 diabetes. Type 1 occurs when the body does not produce insulin and daily insulin injections are needed. Type 2 occurs when the body does not produce enough insulin or the cells do not respond properly to insulin. The document also discusses hyperglycemia and hypoglycemia, which are high and low blood sugar, their symptoms, and how to treat each condition. It concludes by mentioning an A1c test is used to monitor blood sugar levels over time.
The librarian helps Olivia, an 18-year-old who was recently diagnosed with diabetes, learn more about the condition. The librarian directs Olivia to several credible resources on diabetes, including statistics from the CDC, information from the American Diabetes Association about the different types of diabetes, and supplemental details from The Cochrane Library. The librarian also recommends the book "Diabetes For Dummies" and suggests searching general search engines like Dogpile to find additional information online or in the library. The librarian provides a supportive dialogue to help Olivia understand her condition and feel less alone.
Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot properly use and store glucose, causing blood glucose levels to rise too high. There are two major types of diabetes: type 1 where the body stops producing insulin and type 2 which results from not producing enough insulin or being unable to use insulin properly. Diabetes can occur in anyone but some factors like family history, obesity, and inactivity increase risk. Diabetes is treated through lifestyle changes like weight control, nutrition, exercise and medication including tablets or injections to manage blood sugar levels.
Diabetes is a condition where the body does not properly process sugar due to insufficient insulin production or response. There are three main types of diabetes: type 1 caused by no insulin production; type 2 caused by insulin resistance; and gestational diabetes in pregnant women. Before developing type 2 diabetes, many people have pre-diabetes with higher than normal blood sugar levels. Symptoms include frequent urination, increased thirst and hunger, and fatigue. Risk factors include obesity, family history, and certain medical conditions. Diabetes is managed through lifestyle changes like diet and exercise as well as medication but cannot be cured. It poses serious health risks and is a major global health problem.

The key messages are that diabetes prevalence is high and increasing in India, but it can be controlled through lifestyle changes, monitoring, and treatment adherence to prevent health issues. Uncontrolled diabetes can shorten one's lifespan, but controlled diabetes need not do so.

Creatines Untold Story and How 30-Year-Old Lessons Can Shape the FutureSteve Jennings
油
Creatine burst into the public consciousness in 1992 when an investigative reporter inside the Olympic Village in Barcelona caught wind of British athletes using a product called Ergomax C150. This led to an explosion of interest in and questions about the ingredient after high-profile British athletes won multiple gold medals.
I developed Ergomax C150, working closely with the late and great Dr. Roger Harris (1944 2024), and Prof. Erik Hultman (1925 2011), the pioneering scientists behind the landmark studies of creatine and athletic performance in the early 1990s.
Thirty years on, these are the slides I used at the Sports & Active Nutrition Summit 2025 to share the story, the lessons from that time, and how and why creatine will play a pivotal role in tomorrows high-growth active nutrition and healthspan categories.
Stability of Dosage Forms as per ICH GuidelinesKHUSHAL CHAVAN

BIOMECHANICS OF THE MOVEMENT OF THE SHOULDER COMPLEX.pptxdrnidhimnd
油
The shoulder complex acts as in coordinated fashion to provide the smoothest and greatest range of motion possible of the upper limb.
Combined motion of GH and ST joint of shoulder complex helps in:
Distribution of motion between other two joints.
Maintenance of glenoid fossa in optimal position.
Maintenance of good length tension
Although some amount of glenohumeral motion may occur while the other shoulder articulations remain stabilized, movement of the humerus more commonly involves some movement at all three shoulder joints.
