This assignment presents a Vodcast on type II diabetes mellitus, focusing on a 57-year-old female patient named Joyce Margaret. The presentation covers patient criteria, including medical history (mother died of diabetes), lifestyle (overweight, walks to market, takes wine), and medications (insulin injections). It explains the physiological processes of blood glucose control (insulin synthesis, insulin binding), consequences of poorly controlled hyperglycemia (neuropathy, myocardial infarction), and drug treatments (Insulin). The Vodcast also addresses insulin resistance, the use of HbA1c for long-term blood glucose control, and includes an annotated bibliography and bibliography with relevant research papers. The assignment fulfills the requirements of a BIOL122 assignment from Australian Catholic University, demonstrating effective communication and understanding of the disease.
