Beta cells in Islets of Langerhans ( which Is a a part of pancreas ) fails to produce enough insulin in Diabetes mellitus.
6 :
the pancreas stops producing insulin which is necessary to get the sugar in the blood stream into the cells where it can be used. Thus the liver starts to break down the bodies fat and do gluconeogenesis.
7 :
beta cells in longerhance which produce ansuline
8 :
pancrease

The gland is the pancreas (both an endocrine and an exocrine organ). The hormone is called insulin. It is a peptide hormone which binds to receptors on the membrane of cells, which then uptake glucose from the blood. After you eat a meal your blood glucose (sugar) is high and the pancreas releases insulin so that the cells can uptake glucose and decrease the concentration of glucose in the blood. There are several kinds of diabetes mellitus, but the gland that fails to produce the hormone (insulin) is the pancreas.
10 :
"Diabetes mellitus" is caused due to deficiency of the hormone insulin. Insulin is secreted by the beta-cells of the islets of Langerhans which are small patches of cells present in the pancreas. N.B. "Diabetes insipidus" is due to deficiency of ADH (Anti-diuretic hormone , also called vasopressin) which is produced by the hypothalamus but stored and secreted by the neurohypophysis (the posterior lobe of pituitary gland).
11 :
the pancreas stop producing insulin which lowers blood sugar

Hi, I am a trainee RN (Registered Nurse), and we actually had detailed lectures on diabetes mellitus last week. Here are some websites you might find helpful. They include details and grapical pictures of diabetes mellitus: http://www.nurse-ocha.com/2007/06/diabetes-mellitus-dm.html http://www.nurseminerva.co.uk/diabetes_mellitus.htm http://webhealthcentre.blogspot.com/2008/03/some-home-remedies-for-treating.html http://thefootblog.org/2006/11/17/what-is-the-real-risk-of-amputation/ http://www.theholisticcare.com/cure%20diseases/Diabetes.htm Best wishes with your thesis. I hope you do really well !!

If you can't prevent Diabetes Mellitus can it be genetically diagnosed

If you can't prevent Diabetes Mellitus can it be genetically diagnosed?
Only the complications can be prevented, I was told. The syrup-drink test is not what I'm referring to with my question. Dave, my pet peeve is jerks like you who don't know if there is a gene or not and use scientific research to support your warped obsessions. Is there a gene or not???

One of my pet peeves on this forum is the number of people who say that diabetes is all genetics. They say there is nothing you can do about. You can eat anything you want, it doesn't matter. Then they sign as an authority. Twenty-'leven years diabetic. retired doctor, or some such. It is all BS. The American Diabetes Association mentions genetics, but then says "...people who live in areas that have not become Westernized tend not to get type 2 diabetes, no matter how high their genetic risk." In other words if you don't eat the western diet, you won't get T2 diabetes. The U of Calif has a video on You Tube that explains the why of the current epidemics of obesity and T2 diabetes. Dr. Lustig says that our genetic pool hasn't changed in the past thirty years, but our diet surely has. High fructose corn syrup (HFCS) was introduced in the 1970's, and its use has skyrocketed until it is now the number one source of calories in the US. Doctor Richard Johnson, U of Colorado, explains his work that show the cause of obesity, fatty liver disease, high blood pressure, high triglycerides and diabetes. Please watch the two videos. You'll know more than "twenty-'leven years".

Well I often say that this is a potentially dangerous forum in which to seek healthcare information and suggesting that you go to YouTube for answers seems a bit of a stretch to say the least. The genetics of type 1 diabetes is known and yes it is possible to test for the presence of such genes. Physicians tend not to do so because if you have the requisite genes we do not know what the likelihood of developing diabetes would be. So if you knew that you had the genetic markers it would induce anxiety but it would not educate you in any meaningful way. In twin studies if one twin develops type 1 diabetes then there is a 50% probability that the other twin will as well. Again this does not mean that if you were tested and that if you were found to have the gene that your likelihood would be 50%. Type 1 diabetes in addition to this gene requires a viral infection - most any will do - and an autoimmune response that destroys the beta (insulin producing) cells of the pancreas. The genetics of type 2 diabetes is stronger than that of type 1 but no specific genes have been found. Type 2 diabetes is thought to be polygenetic (multiple genes) with incomplete penetrance (the genes may be 'turned on' or 'turned off' to varying degrees). To answer your question the genes of type 1 diabetes are known but the presence of these genes by itself does not mean that an individual will develop type 1 diabetes. The genetics of type 2 diabetes is more complex and no specific genes have yet been identified. So far as your comment regarding complications - prompt diagnosis and decisive treatment of both type 1 and type 2 diabetes does reduce the likelihood of developing complications but even perfect diabetic control does not necesarily prevent such complications. If I may be of further assistance please let me know. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless.

What is the cause of diabetes mellitus

What is the cause of diabetes mellitus?
is it excess sugar or the inability of the hormone convert excess sugar to glycogen
Diabetes - 3 Answers
Random Answers, Critics, Comments, Opinions :
1 :
Well, the basic cause of diabetes is a relative defecit of insulin (not an excess of sugar, at least not directly). Whether that's due to poor (or no) insulin production or to normal or even high levels with resistance to it's effect depends on the type of diabetes.
2 :
Diabetes mellitus is impaired insulin secretion and variable degrees of peripheral insulin resistance leading to hyperglycemia. Early symptoms are related to hyperglycemia and include polydipsia, polyphagia, and polyuria. Later complications include vascular disease, peripheral neuropathy, and predisposition to infection. Diagnosis is by measuring plasma glucose. Treatment is diet, exercise, and drugs that reduce glucose levels, including insulin and oral antihyperglycemic drugs. Prognosis varies with degree of glucose control.
3 :
Diabetes Mellitus is insulin-dependant diabetes, and happens when your pancreas isn't producing insulin. Eating sugar, as sometimes suggested, is a myth. Too much "sugar eating binges" will not give you Diabetes Mellitus. If anyone tells you that, they are reading it from published material during the Cold War era. Its a myth. However, eating too much sugar, along with a high-fat diet, over a long period of time, may lead the way toward Type 2 Diabetes. Its important to note that Type 1 (diabetes mellitus) and Type 2 are two entirely different diseases, but both relate to insulin interaction and the pancreas. They are treated differently.
