Abstract

Diabetes is a disease that has become prevalent among adults and children. Raaijmakers, et al. [1] discussed how diabetes is a chronic illness that requires intense, and constant medical care. The varying types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 require different forms of care for an individual dealing with this disease. Type 1 can be developed from birth or at an early age and is brought on by the individual not being able to produce insulin to maintain one’s blood sugar levels.

Highlights

  • Diabetes is a disease that has become prevalent among adults and children

  • Results from the repeated measures ANOVA showed no main effect of time point on total cholesterol (TC), HDL, LDL or triglycerides (TRG)

  • Ten subjects with type 2 diabetes participated in the study to help determine whether glucose regulation and inflammation are positively affected by the NormaTec recovery system

Introduction

Diabetes is a disease that has become prevalent among adults and children. Raaijmakers, et al [1] discussed how diabetes is a chronic illness that requires intense, and constant medical care. The varying types of diabetes, type 1 and type 2 require different forms of care for an individual dealing with this disease. Type 1 can be developed from birth or at an early age and is brought on by the individual not being able to produce insulin to maintain one’s blood sugar levels. Type 2 is brought on by the individual being insulin resistant, causing the insulin being produced to be non-responsive by the body. Insulin is secreted by the beta cells of the islets of Langerhans inside the pancreas Wilcox [2]. If this process is disrupted, glucose will not be able to be taken into the cells and used for energy. Other cardiovascular risks may develop over time
