Document Summary

This module will cover type 1 and type 2 diabetes, as well as briefly addressing gestational diabetes. Learning about the disease of diabetes requires you to have a basic understanding of the anatomy and physiology of the pancreas, liver, and the regular hormonal influences on these organs. I will cover the basics of the anatomy and physiology as it relates to diabetes mellitus. This includes glucose, fat, and protein metabolism, pancreas, hormones of the endocrine pancreas, glucose regulating hormones, the action of insulin on cells. I have included some recommended readings from the school of nursing"s science textbooks. There is a lot of content in this module. Some of should be a review from previous science courses and some of it will be new or add on to previous learning. The overall aim of this module is to provide the basic science content related to diabetes so that you are then able to apply it into clinical practice.
