Research how treatment of diabetes has developed including use of human insulin produced by bacteria, current research into pancreas cell transplants and stem cell research (links with 4.3.3.9 Stem cells). 4.3.1.5 cont. Type 1 diabetes is a disorder in which the pancreas fails to produce sufficient insulin. It is characterised by uncontrolled high blood glucose levels and is normally treated with insulin injections. In Type 2 diabetes the body cells no longer respond to insulin produced by the pancreas. A carbohydrate controlled diet and an exercise regime are common treatments. Obesity is a risk factor for Type 2 diabetes. Explain the effects, treatment and problems associated with Type 1 diabetes. Interpret glucose tolerance test results. Evaluate modern methods of treating diabetes. Explain the cause, treatment and problems associated with Type 2 diabetes. Compare the causes, and treatments of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes. 1 Discuss the causes, treatment and problems associated with Type 2 diabetes. Compare Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes and present the information in a suitable format. Watch a video animation about Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes.
