Research carried out by the International Diabetes Federation (2009) reveals that around 314 million people‚ equating to 8.2% of the global adult population‚ may have impaired glucose tolerance (IGT) which is a condition that often precedes the development of diabetes. The incidence of diabetes in Malaysia is similar to other countries in the world (Malaysian Diabetes Association‚ 2009). Diabetes Mellitus is one of the commonest

down into glucose‚ which the body uses for energy. However‚ to convert glucose into energy‚ the body needs insulin‚ that is produced by the pancreas‚ which is part of endocrine system. The problem is some people do not produce enough insulin and others produce too much. Which leads to the question: How are insulin resistance‚ pre-diabetes‚ and diabetes different and yet still part of one another? The main differences and similarities between these three involve insulin and glucose. An insulin

important that we have a proper tool to diagnose diabetes accurately. This will help to devise a proper intervention if the disease is diagnosed easily and accurately. Person with diabetes are unable to use and store glucose‚ which then stays in that person’s bloodstream and causes blood glucose level to rise. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 is called adolescent diabetes or insulin-subordinate diabetes‚ where body does not create any insulin. Individuals with sort 1 diabetes must take insulin day

located in the beta cells of the Islets of Langerhans. While the beta cells of the pancreas secrete insulin‚ glucagon is secreted by the alpha cells. Insulin regulates blood glucose levels to prevent an increased or an abnormally decreased amount of glucose in the body. The beta cells in the pancreas are very sensitive to glucose and check for elevated levels of the hormone every few seconds and when they sense an elevation‚ insulin is secreted. In a healthy

the American Diabetes Association‚ diabetes is a group of diseases characterized by high blood glucose levels that result from defects in the body ’s ability to produce and/or use insulin. Glucose is a sugar that is the body ’s main source of energy. When you eat‚ glucose from your food gets into your bloodstream. Your pancreas digests the food and makes a hormone called insulin. Insulin helps glucose get into your body ’s cells and that is how your body gets the energy it needs. b. Different
