Assessment 1: Case study Type 1 diabetes

Question 1. Pathophysiology of clinical manifestations of Type 1 diabetes
1. High blood glucose level
In case of Type 1 diabetes, enough insulin would not have been provisioned. The higher
glucose level in the body needs to be lowered and the same can be done through exercising.
In the case, the blood glucose levels are higher than normal and this contributes to a serious
level. With the oesophagus going down to the liver, the pancreas is generally shaped as
comma. The pancreas has two main functions. The first function being that of secretion of
enzymes into the digestive tract that further aids in digestion (Atkinson, M. A. et al., 2014) The
other functionality of pancreas is associated to production of hormones. The autoimmune
pancreatic cells, once destroyed, can lead to the deficiency in the insulin secretion. It further
results in the abnormal functionality of the secretion of glucagons for the patient. With the
reduction of glucagons being secreted, the secretion does not tend to be suppressed to a larger
extent. The abnormal glucagons level does further exacerbate the defects pertaining to
metabolism. The elevated fatty acids too increase in the plasma layer. The utilization of
glucose tends to be impaired in the body (Atkinson, M. A. et al., 2014; Miller, K. M. et al., 2015).
2. Glucose in the urine

With the condition that is characterized with the increase of blood sugar levels in the body of
the patient, the presence of glucose along with the ketones in the urine is the result. The
enough glucose produced in the body results in the increased glucose level secreted in the
urine.
3. Increased urination
As the pancreas reduces the production of insulin in body, the relevant hormone responsible
for getting the needed energy from the food intake is impacted. The result of increased
frequency in urination and more urine too than the normal levels takes place. The extreme
dehydration levels as a result of normal functionality of the kidney are inhibited (Atkinson, M.
A. et al., 2014; Miller, K. M. et al., 2015). The normal course would have the kidneys being
responsible for absorption of sugar which is then directly being sent to our bloodstream. With
the type 1 diabetes in consideration, the excess presence of glucose in the urine takes place
and as a result more of water is being pulled by the kidneys.
4. Increased thirst
The excessive thirst, Polydipsia that takes place in the type 1 diabetes is connected as the
dehydration in the body acts too fast. The high concentration of glucose that is present in the
blood stream, the kidney becomes incapable of pulling out the excess glucose levels from the
water. As the kidneys are unable to perform the operation of having the glucose sent back to
the blood stream, the osmotic pressure tends to be built in body. With water being not
absorbed into our bloodstream, it tends to being flushed out more and thirst building up as a
consequence.
5. Increased appetite
