Diabetes MellitusCarlee Olsen Contract 18

What Is It? How Do You Get It?When your pancreas doesn’t

produce enough insulin, sugar levels in your blood will rise to dangerous levels

How Does It Harm You?High levels of blood sugar can

harm your circulatory system and your urinary system. It harms your circulatory because the sugar stays in your blood instead of going through the receptors into your cells to make energy. It also harms your kidneys because your kidneys are under pressure trying to balance out all the sugar.

TreatmentDiabetes Mellitus is treated by

injecting synthetic insulin into your body to replace the insulin not being produced by the pancreas.

Treatment EffectsBy injecting synthetic insulin into

your body, you may have a low blood sugar level which will cause you to have low sugar in your cells so you won’t have as much energy.
