Iah Noceja AADS 205 12/3/15 Introduction In my paper, I am going to focus on Type 2 Diabetes and how a person with this condition’s experience has affected her daily life. About the Disability Cause: Experts say diabetes is partly genetic and at least partly behavioral. Obesity and lack of exercise are key risk factors for the most common form. Many people think that diabetes results from eating too many sweets, but the truth is more complex. Type 2 diabetes -- also known as adult-onset diabetes -- is characterized by â€Å"insulin resistance,† or an inability of the cells to use insulin, sometimes accompanied by a deficiency in insulin production. Two other rapidly growing segments of the population -- minority groups and the elderly -- are also at greater risk of developing diabetes. The disease results in the destruction of beta cells in the pancreas, eliminating the body’s ability to produce insulin. The increased incidence of dia-betes may be related to the lack of health-promoting behaviors, such as inadequate physical exercise and not maintaining a balanced diet. Family history, obesity, unhealthy diet, ethnicity, race, age, and inactivity are considered risk factors for the development of T2DM. Prevalence: Approximately 26 million, or 8.3 %, of US children and adults have type 1 diabetes (T1DM) or T2DM, with the great majority having T2DM, according to the Centers for Disease Control (CDC). Worldwide, 347 million people have diabetes, with prevalence rates of 9.8 % inShow MoreRelatedThe Disease Of Alzheimer s Disease1172 Words   |  5 PagesLearning about Alzheimer’s can help families understand how Alzheimer’s is more than just memory loss, it is an incurable mental disease.
