A Descriptive Study to Assess the Knowledge and Attitude Regarding Self Administration of Insulin Injection among Diabetes Mellitus Patients in Rural Area at Dehradun
Journal Title: International Journal of Trend in Scientific Research and Development - Year 2020, Vol 5, Issue 1
Abstract
Diabetes mellitus is characterized by abnormally high levels of sugar glucose in the blood. When the amount of glucose in the blood increases, e.g., after a meal, it triggers the release of the hormone insulin from the pancreas. Insulin stimulates muscle and fat cells to remove glucose from the blood and stimulates the liver to metabolize glucose, causing the blood sugar level to decrease to normal levels. In people with diabetes, blood sugar levels remain high. This may be because insulin is not being produced at all, is not made at sufficient levels, or is not as effective as it should be. The most common forms of diabetes are type 1 diabetes 5 , which is an autoimmune disorder, and type 2 diabetes 95 , which is associated with obesity. Gestational diabetes is a form of diabetes that occurs in pregnancy, and other forms of diabetes are very rare and are caused by a single gene mutation. For many years, scientists have been searching for clues in our genetic makeup that may explain why some people are more likely to get diabetes than others are. The Genetic Landscape of Diabetes introduces some of the genes that have been suggested to play a role in the development of diabetes. Archana | G.
