List and define the 5 components of a nutritious diet.
1. Adequacy- Diet is 'adequate in correct nurtrients or getting enough of correct nutrients." 2. Balance: Correct portion—you could have an adequate amount of protein but not enough fat to go with it. 3. Calorie Control - Eating the right amount of calories for a healthy weight. 4. Moderation - All foods can fit but you don't want them everyday: I.e. don't eat chocolate cake everyday 5. Variety- You need a variety of different foods to get different nutrients.

Describe type 1 diabetes
Type 1: The pancreas produces no or very little insulin, often diagnosed in childhood, although some cases arise in adulthood. 5-10% of cases. The immune system misidentifies the protein insulin as an enemy and attacks the cells of the pancreas that produce it. The person must receive insulin from an external source to assist the cells in taking up the glucose they need from the blood stream -excessive urination and thirst, excessive hunger, weight loss with nausea, easily tiring, weakness of irritability, frequent infections of the skin, hums or urinary tract, vision disturbances; blurred vision -people diagnosed: younger people who are normal weight -causes: autoimmune disease, insulin secreting cells of the pancreas are destroyed so they can't produce insulin -consequences: lack of energy, cells are starved for glucose, ketosis occurs, complications in blood sugar -treatment: multiple daily insulin injections or use of insulin pump - monitoring: blood level before and after eating, carb counting, balance carb intake with insulin and exercise
Describe type 2 diabetes
Type 2: The pancreas makes plenty of insulin but the body's cells resist insulin's action; often diagnosed in adulthood. 90-95% of cases. The body's immune to it's own insulin causing it to produce larger and larger amounts. Blood insulin may rise abnormally high. Largely stemmed from obesity. To prevent - healthy body weight, nutritious eating habit, regular physical activity -symptoms: pain in the legs, feet or fingers, slow healing of cuts and bruises, itching, drowsiness, delivery of a high birth weight baby -Diagnose: people over 30 who are overweight and sedentary. Becominning common in overweight teens -cause: genetics, body cells are resistant to insulin so glucose isn't absorbed, overproduction of glucose, pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin - consequences: lack of enegy, complications with blood sugar -treatment: oral medication is most common -monitoring: balance carb intake with medications, insulin, and exercise, decrease calories and fat to help with weight loss
