what is diabetes ?

By
Diabetes is a disease in which your blood glucose, or blood sugar, levels are too high. Glucose comes from the foods you eat.
       
Diabetes causes
  • The body is cells do not respond properly to insulin 
  • Insulin  production is inadequate.

Type 1 diabetes

The body does not produce insulin.Some people may refer to this type as insulin-dependent diabetes. People usually develop type 1 diabetes before their 40th year, often in early adulthood or teenage years.
Approximately 10% of all diabetes cases are type 1.
Symptoms include excessive excretion of urine (polyuria), thirst (polydipsia), constant hunger, weight loss, vision changes, and fatigue. These symptoms may occur suddenly.
Treatment
Patients with type 1 diabetes will need to take insulin injections for the rest of their life.

Type 2 diabetes

The body does not produce enough insulin for proper function, or the cells in the body do not reaction to insulin ( insulin resistance ). Approximately 90% of  all cases of diabetes worldwide are type 2.
Symptoms may be similar to those of type 1 diabetes, but are often less marked. As a result, the disease may be diagnosed several years after onset, once complications have already arisen.
Until recently, this type of diabetes was seen only in adults but it is now also occurring increasingly frequently in children.
Treatment
Some people may be able to control their type 2 diabetes symptoms by:
  • Losing weight 
  • Following a healthy diet 
  • Doing plenty of exercise 
  • Monitoring their blood glucose levels.

Gestational diabetes

Gestational diabetes is hyperglycaemia with blood glucose values above normal but below those diagnostic of diabetes, occurring during pregnancy.
Women with gestational diabetes are at an increased risk of complications during pregnancy and at delivery. They and their children are also at increased risk of type 2 diabetes in the future.
Gestational diabetes is diagnosed through prenatal screening, rather than through reported symptoms.
Laboratory diagnosis

The A1C test for diabetes allows doctors to see glucose levels over a two- to three-month period. It's used to monitor blood sugar levels as well 

The fasting plasma glucose test (FPG) is the preferred method of screening for diabetes. ... A normal fasting blood glucose level is fewer than 100 milligrams per deciliter or mg/dL. ... A doctor will diagnose you with diabetes when the fasting blood glucose shoots above 126 mg/dL and when ...

MacConkey Agar

By
MacConkey Agar MacConkey agar  is a selective and differential media used for the isolation and differentiation of non-fastidious gram-negative rods, particularly members of the family Enterobacteriaceae . Composition MacConkey agar is used for the isolation of gram-negative enteric bacteria and the differentiation of lactose fermenting from lactose non-fermenting gram-negative bacteria.  Pancreatic digest of gelatin  and  peptones (meat and casein)  provide the essential nutrients, vitamins and nitrogenous factors required for growth of microorganisms.  Lactose monohydrate  is the fermentable source of carbohydrate. The selective action of this medium is attributed to  crystal violet  and  bile salts,  which are inhibitory to most species of gram-positive bacteria.  Sodium chloride  maintains the osmotic balance in the medium. ...

Triple Sugar Iron Test

By
The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) Test  To determine the ability of an organism to ferment glucose, lactose, and sucrose, and their ability to produce hydrogen sulfide. Principle The Triple Sugar Iron (TSI) test is a microbiological test named for its ability to test a microorganism’s ability to ferment sugars and to produce hydrogen sulfide. An agar slant of a special medium with multiple sugars constituting a pH-sensitive dye (phenol red), 1% lactose, 1% sucrose, 0.1% glucose, as well as sodium thiosulfate and ferrous sulfate or ferrous ammonium sulfate is used for carrying out the test.  . Due to the building of acid during fermentation, the pH falls. The acid base indicator Phenol red. is incorporated for detecting carbohydrate fermentation that is indicated by the change in color of the carbohydrate medium from orange red to yellow in the pres...
