  5. History of Diabetes • 1952BC was the first time diabetes was ever mentioned • In the second century of AD the first full definition of diabetes was written • During the 1830’s diabetes was introduced to America through books • In 1866 diets were being made especially for diabetic people • In the 19th century encyclopaedias were starting to mention diabetes images.amazon.com

  6. Causes of Diabetes Type I : The body’s pancreas stops making insulin, or doesn’t produce enough insulin that the body needs www.massgeneral.org Type II : The body’s cells lose their ability to use the insulin that is created Insipidus: Any kind of damage to the body that may affect the pituitary gland www.worsleyschool.net

  7. Symptoms of Diabetes Common: Need to urinate a lot, having a large appetite and need for drinking Type I : Being hungry all the time, continuing to eat food, but at the same time loosing weight www.oznet.ksu.edu Type II : First signs are minor infections, feeling of general fatigue, blurred vision, and numbness in hands and feet Insipidus: Can become weak, and very dehydrated particleadventure.org

  9. Diagnosis for Diabetes Type I : Urine and blood tests will be taken by a doctor Type II : Doctors will look for different signs like high blood pressure, less sensation in feet, high cholesterol levels, and broken blood vessels in eyes, also they will take a blood and urine test Insipidus: Urine test will first be taken by a doctor. The doctor will also ask the patient not to drink anything and will see how the person’s body reacts www.yourheart.org.uk

  10. Treatment for Diabetes Type I : The person would need to gain insulin needed through another source www.kidzworld.com Type II : A person can help their diabetes with a healthy diet and regular exercise. Oral medications also may have to be taken, if medications don’t work the person will have to take insulin shots www.merckfrosst.ca Insipidus: Drinking is recommended to minimize dehydration, need to take a synthetic form of ADH ga.water.usgs.gov

  11. Future Research for Diabetes • Not yet a cure for diabetes but researchers are looking into it • Trying to find a vaccine to give to babies when born so they can’t get diabetes • Looking for a way to have transplants in the future • Hoping to find other cells that don’t normally produce insulin to start so the body will have a backup source • Making a pill to replace insulin shots • Finding a way to take personal blood tests easier www.cnn.com
