Study Notes
Carbohydrates and Their Classification
- Carbohydrates are essential macronutrients in the diet.
- They exist in various sizes and structures.
- Classification of carbohydrates:
- Lactose: Disaccharide
- Fiber: Polysaccharide
- Glucose: Monosaccharide
Impact of Carbohydrates on Blood Glucose Levels
- Carbohydrates are categorized into simple and complex types.
- Simple carbohydrates, like honey, can:
- Increase blood sugar levels quickly
- Comprise monosaccharides
- Complex carbohydrates, such as beans, can:
- Increase blood sugar levels slowly
- Comprise polysaccharides
Dietary Fiber and Blood Sugar
- Honey is considered a poor source of dietary fiber.
- Legumes provide a good source of dietary fiber.
Pancreatic Cells and Hormones
- Two types of pancreatic cells:
- Alpha cells: Secrete glucagon, which increases blood glucose levels.
- Beta cells: Secrete insulin, which decreases blood glucose levels.
Diabetes Mellitus Overview
- Characterized by excessive glucose in the blood.
-
Type 2 diabetes:
- Body cells become resistant to insulin.
- Pancreas may fail in later stages.
-
Type 1 diabetes:
- Results from a decreased number of beta cells.
- Insufficient insulin production to meet bodily demands.
Insulin Injection Necessity
- A 10-year-old child with type 1 diabetes is likely to require insulin injections.
