Introduction
Diabetes is the diseases, which occur in the body when the blood sugar is too high.
Blood glucose is the main source of energy which actually comes from the food that an
individual eat. Insulin, which is a hormone which is created by the pancreas, help glucose
from the food goes into the cell and make some energy which can use by that hormones. Over
the time, having high amount of glucose in the body can cause for the health problems
(Adams and et.al., 2018). Diabetes have no cure, so the patients have to take steps which help
them to manage diabetes and stay healthy. There are mainly two type of diabetes type 2 and
type 1. Type 2 are happened because of excess body weight and physical inactivity. Whereas
type one’s cure and causes are known. In this assignment anatomy and physiology conditions
of diabetes are defined. Furthermore sign, symptoms and treatment of diabetes are defined.
Main body
Physiological condition
The physiological condition of diabetes mellitus is a syndrome with high disorder of
metabolism and a suitable hyperglycaemia due to either a shortage of insulin or a
combination of insulin resistance. Here, Type 1 diabetes is related to pancreatic islet B cells
as this is an autoimmune process, and these patients are prone to ketoacidosis. Whereas in
type 2 diabetes, this is more dominant form and comes with the effect from the insulin
struggle with a deficiency in compensatory insulin emission (Whitehead and et.al., 2018).
Diabetes can be a serious health issue, which are resulting in many ways or disease or it may
be occur as a disorder that may affect the system which became the reason of premature
death. In people the health, pancreas, secretes the digestive enzymes and the hormones which
use insulin and glucagon into the bloodstream to control the amount of glucose in the human
body (Pathophysiology of diabetes mellitus, 2021). The release of insulin in the blood can
leads to lower the sugar level by allowing glucose for entering into the body where they can
easily metabolized. If the level of blood glucose level get too low, the pancreas of the body
will release glucagon to stimulate and release glucose from the liver. After having a meal,
glucose and amino acid are directly absorbed by the blood stream and this blood glucose are
increase the level. This rise in the blood glucose provide signal to cells in pancreas which
called beta cells, to remove the insulin which mixed with blood stream. Within 20 minutes of
having a meal insulin rises and reach the glucose level to their peak. Insulin enables the
