I have chosen to write about Diabetes Mellitus Type 1. In Type 1 Diabetes the langerhan cells that produce insulin are destroyed by an autoimmune process. This means that the pancreas produce little to no insulin. Insulin is required to move glucose into the cells for energy. Without insulin, glucose builds up in the blood and causes adverse effects such as impaired circlation.(Author last name, year). Common labs to diagnosis Type 1 Diabetes are a HGB AIC. This lab tests the average amount of glucose in the blood over the past 2-3 months and can give insight into the function of the pancreas. A client with Type 1 Diabetes may have a genetic disposition or a history of a viral illness. On assessment of a client with Type 1 Diabetes the client may report subjective findings of polyuria, polydipsia, and polyphagia. Objective findings may be decreased sensation, slow healing wounds, and changes in vision.Module 09 Assignment – Impaired Immune System Care Map
