This body system involves 9-10 different parts of the body, these are: hypothalamus, pituitary gland, pineal gland, thyroid/parathyroid glands, thymus, pancreas, adrenal glands, ovaries (in women) and testicles (in men). The glands within the endocrine system secrete hormones into the blood stream. This enables the hormones to travel to different body systems. The glands within the endocrine system are structures that make and secrete hormones. The endocrine system: • Creates hormones that influence mood, growth, development, metabolism, organs and reproduction. • Influence hormone release. • Direct produced hormonesto the body’s bloodstream • Hormones have the ability to alter body activity by increasing or decreasing some of the body functions, with the idea of maintaining homeostasis. Type 1 Diabetes(Mellitus) Type 1 Diabetes is an autoimmune disease where the immune system will attack beta cells (in the pancreas) that produce insulin. This prevents insulin from being produced adequately in order to regulate blood glucose levels. Type 1 Diabetes often occurs when the body is unable to produce enough insulin – which controls blood glucose levels. To keep blood glucose levels at the appropriate level, an individual with Type 1 Diabetes needs to take daily insulin. Type 1 Diabetes primarily occurs in children and adolescents, but continues into adulthood as it is a lifelong physiological disorder. Type 1 Diabetes can come with an array of signs and symptoms that can occur quickly in children but slower in adults. Some signs and symptoms include: • Polydipsia/Polyuria – this is where an individual with Type 1 Diabetes will become thirstier than normal and having to use the bathroom more than usual. Both these symptoms are an indication of having a high blood glucose level. As the kidneys try to get rid of excess of blood sugar, it will cause an individual to need to urinate more often to try get rid of excess blood sugar. • Fatigue – often a result of having too high (hyperglycaemia) or too low (hypoglycaemia) blood sugar levels. Tiredness is an imbalance of blood glucose and the circulation of insulin. • Weight loss – insufficient insulin stops the body receiving glucose from the blood. This causes the body to start burning fat in order to get energy, which results in weight loss. • Cuts and Grazes that aren’t healing • Hypoglycaemia – occurs when blood sugar becomes too low. This is when an individual will not have enough carbohydrates in their previous meal, haven’t eaten in a while, do lots of exercise and take too much insulin. Some signs of a hypo include, sweating, feeling hungry, struggling to concentrate, feeling shaky and being anxious/irritable.
