Diabetes and Stress Effects
[ send me this paper ]
A 15 page paper discussing the effects of stress on diabetes. Stress has been linked to a variety of diseases for many years. It has been relatively recently, however, that it has been linked to diabetes in terms of having direct effect on diabetics� blood glucose levels and their ability to manage fluctuations. The purpose here is to provide an overview of the disease and stress, and provide literature support of how stress and diabetes interact. While the full effect of stress on diabetes is not totally clear, it is extremely clear that stress negatively affects progress of the disease and individuals� ability to control their conditions. While it is reasonable to assume that stress also may affect onset of the disease in those genetically predisposed to it, that possibility has not yet been proven. Bibliography lists 13 sources.

Diabetes Mellitus
[ send me this paper ]
15 pages in length. No one is safe from developing diabetes mellitus. In America, one person succumbs to the fatal aspects of the disease every three minutes; sixteen million Americans have been diagnosed, while another five point four million will continue on with their lives without knowing they have the disease. Leading to fatal kidney failure, adult blindness, nerve damage and limb amputations, diabetes is truly a silent killer. Additionally, heart attacks stokes occur two to four times more often in those with diabetes than in those without it. Those who have caught their disease in time can still count on dying an average of fifteen years earlier than what is otherwise expected. Infants who are born from mothers with diabetes are two to three times more likely to die than their disease-free counterparts. Ninety-eight billion dollars is spent every year in the United States in order to treat diabetes. Medicare, which foots a significant amount of that annual bill, pays out no less than one of every five dollars to support those with the disease. Bibliography lists 18 sources.
