Introduction:
The paper aims for exploring five scholarly resources on the topic of diabetes
mellitus. Diabetes mellitus or diabetes is a disease condition that involves a high level of
glucose in the blood. There are various types of diabetes. The following section will be
focused on establishing diabetes as a fatal condition and discussing the reason for the type-I
diabetes to be more severe than the type-II, the requirement of daily insulin administration in
the type-I diabetic patients and finally the other forms of diabetes, which result from the
mutation in some genes.
Discussion:
The first scholarly study focused on exploring the possibility that the diabetes might
contribute for the mortality associated with other chronic disease conditions, such as cancer,
cardiovascular diseases, kidney diseases, respiratory diseases and various others. The study
found that the diabetic individuals are more prone to developing those diseases conditions
and thus the risk of mortality is more evident in them (Li et al., 2019).
The second resource is a scholarly study that reviews the type-I diabetes disease
condition from a clinical perspective, which focuses on the pathophysiology and the
management of the disease along with the diagnosis. The study described the type-I diabetes
disease condition to be an autoimmune disease condition, which results from the destruction
of the pancreatic beta-cells by the T-cells of the immune system. The event leads to lowered
insulin production in the body as the pancreatic beta-cells are the cells that are responsible for
the insulin production in the body. The risk assessment for the type-1 diabetes is carried out
by checking the presence of the characteristic autoantibodies in an individual. The treatment
method for this disease condition involve regular insulin administration (Kahanovitz, Sluss &
Russell, 2017).
