TYPE 1 DIABETES: CASE STUDY ANALYSIS(Weise et al, 2017). This leads to a high osmotic pressure in the in the urine within the proximal tubules of the nephron. As a result, water cannot be any more absorbed into the bloodstream but lost as urine leaving the body dehydrated. The increase in thirst therefore is the body’s response to the low water levels in the bloodstream as result of its high loss through urination.e.Increased appetiteIncreased appetite also referred to as polyphagia is caused by insufficient amounts of glucose in the body cells. This, results from low or lack of insulin in the body; hindering the movement of sugar from bloodstream into the tissues. In this case, hypoglycaemia develops due to the body’s inability to convert the food in the body into energy and thus perpetually starving cells (Reznik & Cohen, 2013). The body responds appropriately to prevent starving of crucial tissues by making patients feel rapidly hungry and a need to feed.f.KetonesThe lack of and/or low levels of insulin among type 1 diabetes patients makes the body cells to starve due to lack of sugar and thus resort to breaking down fat for energy. Ketones among type 1 diabetes patients result from the burning of fat in the cells instead of glucose (Ogbera, 2014). This process leads also to the spilling of ketonesthat form in blood into the urine.A loss of weight among diabetic patients also produces ketones since there is no sufficient insulin to enable the body break down sugar to create energy. g.Weight-lossPatients with type 1 diabetes experience sudden weight-loss. The loss of weight is mainlyattributed to the body’s breakdown of fat to create energy. The fat which contributes to the body weight in normal circumstances is broken down by cells to create energy since there is no sugar in the cells due to lack of insulin (Ogbera, 2014). The body also burns the muscle
