Abstract

This research paper makes available information on the subject of type II diabetes from a
biological, psychology and social method. In providing the report, the paper concentrates on the
introduction, statistics, financial costs, anatomy and physiology and the diagnosis or the
treatment description part. Type II diabetes is a body condition that results from the absence of
insulin discharge or the more significant than before cellular resistance to the insulin produced
leading to metabolic complications. Thus, the paper will establish a wide-ranging analysis of the
condition's development, age mostly associated with the disease, and the financial burden to an
individual, family and the society. Whereas the risk factors for type II diabetes encompasses
diabetic family history, age 45 and above, women associated with the delivery of infants over
nine pounds, the paper provides an in-depth evaluation of the statistical prevalence of the
condition especially with the consideration that more than half a million cases are reported per
year. Therefore, handling the chronic illness requires both continued medical care and farreaching information.

Introduction
Definition of the disease

Type II diabetes is a group of metabolic disorders where the patient experiences a higher
level of blood sugar which can be if the body fails to make enough insulin. Additionally, it may
result if the cells that the body produces fails to respond efficiently to insulins or in some cases
both. The disease once recognized as the adult-onset or non-insulin diabetes, therefore, affects
the way a person's body absorbs glucose which forms the body's essential basis of fuel. This
chronic illness not only renders the patients unable to efficiently respond to insulin but also their
fat, muscles and the liver fail to react efficiently either (Peak, 2011). It's, therefore, a severe
health condition that has an impact on undermining patient's quality of life by triggering
significant complications and eventually lead to death. The disease develops slowly within the
individual while having no symptoms at first or even take several years. However, some of the
early symptoms are kidney, skin, bladder, or any other infections that get well at a slower pace.
Additionally, type 2 diabetes may be noticeable upon signs of fatigue, hunger, more significant
than before urination, increased thirst, and erectile dysfunction, distorted vision in addition to
pain experienced in the feet or hands.
History of the disease
Diabetes remains to be one of the significant, devastating illness recognized by man for a
period exceeding more than 2000 years. However, there was no account of type II diabetes or to
some extent other distinction amongst the several categories of diabetes, up to the twentieth era.
Back in 1935, the researchers came to recognize that diabetes existed in multiple types, and this
forms the basis for the history of this chronic disease.
