- Diabetes - Revolution Health: Diabetes information from Revolution Health covers symptoms, causes, risks, treatments and types. Discuss diabetes issues with others in forums, blogs, personal stories and recommendation s.
- Insulin Regulation of Blood Sugar and Diabetes: This explains how blood glucose levels are regulated via the use of hormones (insulin and glucagon) secreted from the pancreas. If blood glucose levels are high, insulin is secreted (from beta-cells) and if blood glucose levels are low, glucagon is secreted (from alpha-cells).
- Type 2 diabetes: This is a very useful article because it includes a diagram of the location of the pancreas, (which is relevant to diabetes as this is where the hormones are secreted from) and a full explanation of Type 2 diabetes. This is useful in the module MB1002 in which we have just began learning about Type 2 diabetes.
- Diabetes Mellitus: This page discusses type 2 and 1 diabetes (and their presentation) as well as the genetic and and risk factors associated with this disease. This is relevant to the Metabolism (UoLMB1002-08) module in which we are studying the regulation of blood glucose levels and diabetes.
