Diabetes Disease Process, Etiology, Risk Factors, and Pathophysiological Process
Diabetes is a metabolic malady marked by increased levels of gore sugar due to
challenges in insulin utilization, secretion, or both leading to hyperglycemia (Fan, 2017). The
normal fasting gore sugar levels are below 100 mg/dl and below 140 mg/dl two hours after food
consumption. Mainly, healthy persons have gore glucose level hovering around 70 to 80 mg/dl
before meals. To maintain the levels of gore sugar in the body, the islet cells in the pancreas
release two pancreatic hormones, namely glucagon and insulin, which react in opposite fashions.
Diabetes is among the largest international health emergencies today and the seventh top cause
of mortality in the US (Fan, 2017). The disorder has a global distribution and the burden is high
and increasing, propagated by a worldwide increase in the rate of occurrence of an unhealthy
lifestyle and obesity. Estimates indicate that about 415 million persons aged 20-79 years
internationally are diabetic projecting an increase in the rate of disease occurrence from 8.8-10.4
percent by 2040. According to Fan (2017), the age-adjusted regional rate of occurrence includes
“8.8 percent in Western Pacific, 9.1 percent in Southeast Asia, 9.6 percent in Central and South
America, 11.5 percent in the Caribbean and North America, 10.7 percent in North Africa and the
Middle East, 7.3 percent in Europe, and 3.8 percent in Africa”.
Etiology and Risk Factors
The underlying cause of diabetes varies by type all of which leads to hyperglycemia. The
causes vary based on “environmental elements, health, ethnicity, family history, and genetic
makeup”. Type 1 diabetes (T1DM) results from autoimmune reactions where the immune
network destroys the insulin-secreting pancreatic cells leaving the body without enough insulin
for normal functioning. Common triggers include unidentified elements causing autoimmune
responses, chemical toxins in food, and bacterial or viral infection. Genetics can also predispose
