Study Notes
- Anemia is a condition in which the body has fewer red blood cells than normal.
- Anemia can be caused by a lack of iron, which is needed to make red blood cells.
- Anemia symptoms include feeling tired all the time and not breathing well.
- Asthma is a condition in which the tubes inside the lungs swell up and get narrow. This makes it harder to breathe.
- People with diabetes have trouble making insulin. Without insulin, glucose is locked out of the cells, and the amount of glucose in the blood gets higher than normal.
- Treatment for diabetes includes measuring the blood glucose several times a day and using insulin inhalers to help patients breathe during asthma attacks.
- Insulin is needed to allow the circulatory system to transport insulin to all of the body's cells and unlock the cell membranes so that glucose can move in and out.
- This process allows the body to use glucose for energy.
- People with diabetes need to take insulin to maintain blood sugar levels.
- There are a variety of foods that can be eaten to manage blood sugar levels, and people with diabetes can also adjust their diet to control the level of glucose in their blood.
