Managing ChronicHealth Conditions

• I will choose behaviors to reduce my risk ofdiabetes.

• I will recognize ways to manage chronic healthconditions.

Over 17 million people in the United States have diabetes, which isa , or a recurring and persistent condition that affects a person’s health. More than 90 million people in the United States live with a chronic health condition.

Writing About Managing Diabetes Suppose your friend is alwayshungry yet is losing weight. He or she is unusually thirsty and frequentlyuses the restroom. Your friend is often tired. He or she also sometimescomplains of blurred vision. After reading the information on diabetes onpage 523, write an entry in your health journal about what you wouldencourage your friend to do.

LESSON 48 • Managing Chronic Health Conditions 523(tt)CORBIS, Photodisc/Getty Images

Many people who have diabetes are not being treated. In this part of

the lesson, you will learn how people who have diabetes manage

their condition, and how you can reduce your risk of diabetes.

What to Know AboutDiabetesA person develops diabetes when thepancreas fails to produce enoughinsulin. is a hormone thatregulates the blood sugar level.Diabetes disrupts metabolism, therate at which food is converted intoenergy in body cells. is asimple sugar that is the main sourceof energy for the body. If there is notenough insulin, or if the body does notuse the insulin, glucose levels buildup in the blood. The excess glucoseoverflows into urine and passes out ofthe body. Because glucose is the mainsource of energy, the body loses itssource of fuel even though the bloodcontains large amounts of glucose.

There are three types of dia-betes: insulin-dependent, non-insulindependent, and gestational diabetes.

Insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM) Diabetes in which thebody does not produce insulin isinsulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(IDDM), or type I diabetes. It is consid-ered to be an autoimmune disease. An

is a diseasethat results when the immune systemproduces antibodies that turn againstthe body’s own cells. In IDDM, theimmune system attacks and destroyscells that produce insulin. IDDM occursmost often in children, appears sud-denly, and progresses quickly.

The buildup of sugar inthe blood and the loss of sugar in theurine cause the following symptons:increased thirst, frequent urination,constant hunger, weight loss, blurredvision, and extreme tiredness. Peoplewith IDDM may need daily injectionsof insulin and a special diet.

Non–insulin-dependent diabetes melli-tus (NIDDM) A type of diabetes inwhich either the body does not pro-duce enough insulin, or the body can-not properly use insulin that isproduced is called non–insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus(NIDDM), or type II diabetes.NIDDM appears most often in adultsover age 40.

Symptoms include feeling tired,frequent urination, unusual thirst,weight loss, blurred vision, frequentinfections, and slow healing of sores.NIDDM often can be treated throughweight loss, diet, physical activity,and oral medications.

Gestational diabetes Diabetes thatoccurs in some females during preg-nancy is gestational diabetes. As inNIDDM, insulin might be produced,but the body does not respond nor-mally to it. Gestational diabetes usu-ally is treated with diet and usuallydisappears after the birth of the baby.

1. What is diabetes?

2. What is thedifference betweenIDDM and NIDDM?

ManagingDiabetesPeople who have dia-betes must managetheir disease by con-trolling their bloodglucose levels withdiet, exercise, and/ormedication.

Monitoring blood glu-cose levels Blood test-

ing kits are available that allowdiabetics to test their own blood

glucose levels. People who have dia-betes may test their glucose level sev-eral times a day. In this way, they cansee how their body responds to meals,exercise, and insulin shots or oral med-ication. Research shows that people

who manage their blood sugar levelshave a reduced risk of developing com-plications from diabetes.

Methods of treatment People whohave IDDM need daily injections ofinsulin to keep their blood glucoselevels safe. Insulin injections must bebalanced with meals and daily activ-ities. Many people who have NIDDMare able to control their diabetes withdiet and exercise exclusively. Somepeople who have NIDDM may needoral medication or insulin injectionsto lower blood glucose levels. Peoplewho have diabetes should have aphysician monitor the disease andcheck for complications. Diabetes canlead to blindness, heart disease,stroke, kidney failure, nerve damage,and premature death.

Being a Health Advocate: Reducing the Risk of DiabetesDiabetes is not a contagious disease. You cannot catch it from someone else who has it, and youcannot get it from eating too much sugar. People who are most at risk for diabetes are females whoare over 40, overweight, and have a family history of the disease. If you are trying to convince a friendor family member to reduce his or her risk of diabetes, 1) select a health-related concern, 2) gatherreliable information, 3) identify your purpose and target audience, 4) develop a convincing and

appropriate message. Anyone can lower his or her risk fordiabetes by following two simple rules:eat nutritiously and exercise.1 To eat nutritiously, students need tofollow the Food Guide Pyramid. If youare not a healthy eater, startmaking simple changes in your diettoday to become healthier. Cut down onthe amount of soda you drink and drinkmore water instead. Eat a banana insteadof a bag of potato chips the next timeyou’re hungry. Eat a salad with your meal.

lly include

r three meals. Share

each day will help

keep you from

3 Exercise decreases blood glucoselevels and helps your bodyrespond to insulin better. TheCenters for Disease Control andPrevention (CDC) says that you can walk30 minutes a day, five times a week tomake a big difference in your health. Forsome students, that simply meanswalking to school instead of driving.4 Being active doesn’t have to be a chore. Think ofall the fun you had playing with your friendswhen you were younger. Even though you’re ateenager now, you can still have fun and exercise atthe same time: try in-line skating, dancing, or ridingyour bike. Talk to your best friend while the two of yougo on a walk. You will set the foundation for a lifetimeof good health.

Brandon WalkerLiving With Diabetes

Brandon says in this interview that, in spite o

f his diabetes, he’s the same person

he always was. Do you think students with ill

nesses or disabilities at your school

are treated differently from other students? S

hould they be? Why or why not?

Teens Talk About Health

Considering his grandmother had just been diagnosedwith diabetes, Brandon Walker’s own diagnosis took hisfamily by surprise. “Diabetes runs in families,” Brandonsaid. “But the first couple of times I got sick, the doctorsthought it was either the flu or a stomach virus.”

Football practice Brandon’s discovery that he had dia-betes is fairly typical. “I probably had it for a while,” heexplained, “but because I was playing football, the symp-toms weren’t there. When you’re really active, you cankeep your blood sugar levels down to normal. It waswhen I stopped playing football for a year that the symp-toms began to show up. I was still pretty active—using atreadmill and stuff like that—but that’s just not thesame level of physical activity as two-a-day footballpractices in August!”

Learning the truth While working one day at his job,Brandon felt sick. He had a stomachache and aheadache. “I just didn’t feel right,” he said. “I went tothe hospital, and that’s when I found out I was a dia-betic. I was really thirsty and dehydrated. I just couldn’tdrink enough. My breath smelled like nail polish, a suresign of diabetes.”

Diagnosis and treatment Brandon’s doctors explainedthat Brandon has characteristics of both type I and type IIdiabetes. It’s taken a while to get his dosage of insulin atthe right levels. He now watches what he eats, and tries tostay as active as he can. “I’ve had a couple of incidents

that really scared me,” he explained. “One time I was atthe barber shop and I was shaking from low-blood sugar. Ihadn’t even noticed, but the barber did.”

Battling human nature “Now, I’ve gotten a better idea ofwhat I can and can’t eat, so I sometimes go off my dietevery now and then,” said Brandon. “I guess it’s humannature, but I still sometimes eat stuff I’m not supposed tohave, like a little bit of candy. I only drink regularpop when I have to raise my blood sugar.”Brandon’s friends are generally helpful.Most of them are aware of what heshouldn’t eat. As for activities,Brandon said, “There’s nothing I can’tdo now that I could do before I wasdiagnosed. I can still play football. I’mthe same person I always was.”

Brandon’s advice to other young peo-ple with diabetes is simple: “Know thetype of medicine you’re using, andknow when you’re supposed totake your meds. It’s just likewith anything else—knowwhat you’re supposed tobe doing and try to doit.” There’s one morething, too: “Don’t be acouch potato.”

This part of the lesson focuses on chronic health conditions. You will learn about the

description, characteristics, and ways to manage and treat other chronic health

conditions. Having knowledge of these conditions can greatly improve a person’s

quality of life.

What to Know About Chronic Health ConditionsArthritis The painful inflammation ofthe joints is called arthritis. Arthritisaffects the muscles, tendons, and liga-ments that surround joints.

is the wearing down of themoving parts of joints. Rheumatoidarthritis is a condition in which jointsbecome deformed and may lose func-tion. Arthritis may be treated withmedications, physical therapy andphysical activity, or surgery.

Cerebral palsy A disorder of the ner-vous system that interferes withmuscle coordination is cerebralpalsy. Too much pressure on thehead during childbirth, head injury,lead poisoning, accidental injury, andcertain illnesses are possible causes.Treatments include physical therapyand physical activity, speech therapy,special devices to assist with motion,medications, or surgery.

Chronic fatigue syndrome A conditionin which recurring tiredness makes it difficult for a person to function in normal ways is chronic fatiguesyndrome (CFS). Symptoms include

headache, sore throat, low-gradefever, fatigue, and weakness. Treat-ment for CFS may include a balanceddiet, adequate rest and sleep, regularphysical activity, stress management,or the use of medications.

Cystic fibrosis A condition in whichlarge amounts of thick mucus are pro-duced, affecting the lungs and pan-creas, is It is causedby an abnormal gene in the body. Signsand symptoms of cystic fibrosis includecoughing, wheezing, difficulty breath-ing, vomiting, and constipation.Treatments may include physical ther-apy, dietary changes, vitamins, med-ications, and the use of oxygen to helpwith breathing.

Down syndrome A genetic disorderin which a child is born with an extrachromosome in each cell is calledDown syndrome. Children bornwith Down syndrome have a mentaldisability and a slightly flattenedface with upward, slanting eyes.Surgery is sometimes used to correctheart defects and other problems.

Epilepsy A disorder in which abnor-mal electrical activity in the braincauses a temporary loss of control ofthe mind and body is A per-son with epilepsy may have a seizure.Petit mal is a small seizure in whicha person loses consciousness for a fewseconds. Grand mal is a majorseizure in which a person may haveconvulsions. During a convulsion, thebody stiffens and twitching mayoccur. People who are having majorseizures can be helped by removal ofobjects that may injure them. Do notplace anything in the mouth.

Although people of any age can getepilepsy, it primarily affects children,teens, and young adults. Epilepsy canbe caused by a head injury, a braintumor, stroke, poisoning, or an infec-tion. Heredity also plays a role insome cases of epilepsy. Medication isused to control seizures. Adequaterest and sleep are important, alongwith regular physical activity.Surgery in the treatment for epilepsyis often a last resort.

Hemophilia An inherited condition inwhich blood does not clot normally is

A minor injury to a per-son with hemophilia can lead touncontrolled bleeding. Spontaneousbleeding also occurs. Hemophiliaoccurs almost exclusively in males.Treatment for a person with hemo-philia includes maintaining goodphysical and dental health status,avoiding injuries that can causebleeding, learning how to managebleeding when cut or scraped, learn-ing how to recognize emergency situ-ations, and blood transfusions, ifnecessary.

Migraine headache Severe head painthat is caused by the dilation of bloodvessels in the brain is a migraineheadache. The symptoms mayinclude severe throbbing, blurredvision, nausea, and vomiting.

Treatments for migraines includemedications to reduce pain, rest andrelaxation, stress management, andmanagement of conditions that maylead to headaches.

Multiple sclerosis A disease in whichthe protective covering of nervefibers in the brain and spinal cordare destroyed is

People who have MS experi-ence tingling and numbness in thebody and may feel tired and dizzy.There is no cure for MS. MS is morecommon in young adults. Treatmentfor MS includes physical therapy tostrengthen muscles, medications,avoidance of stress and extreme tem-peratures, psychological counseling,and support from family and friends.

Muscular dystrophy A genetic diseasein which the muscles progressivelydeteriorate is muscular dystrophy.There is no cure. Treatment includesphysical therapy and physical activ-ity, weight management, surgery insome cases, and canes and wheel-chairs to improve mobility.

Narcolepsy A chronic sleep disorderin which people are excessively sleepy,even after adequate nighttime sleep,is called People whohave narcolepsy often become drowsyand fall asleep in inappropriate situa-tions. The cause of narcolepsy isunknown. Although there is no cure,there is treatment. Medication is usedto control sleepiness. A person whohas narcolepsy needs adequate restand sleep and the support of familymembers and friends.

Parkinson’s disease A brain disorderthat causes muscle tremors, stiffness,and weakness is Parkinson’s dis-ease. Signs and symptoms includerigid posture, slow movement, fixedfacial expression, and a shufflingwalk. The intellect is not affecteduntil late in the disease, althoughspeech is slow.

Themost common sym-ptom is a burningpain in the abdomen.There may be upsetstomach, back pain,and bleeding. A pepticulcer is caused by abacterial infection,which is treated withan antibiotic. Bleed-ing ulcers requireemergency treatment.It is recommended

that a person with an ulcer avoid cigarettes, alcohol, aspirin, and caffeinated beverages.

Sickle-cell anemia An inherited blooddisease in which the red blood cells carry less oxygen is

Sickle-cell anemia occursprimarily in African-Americans.

The red blood cells of people whohave sickle-cell anemia are sickle-shaped and are fragile and easilydestroyed. The sickle-shaped cells donot easily pass through tiny bloodvessels. Symptoms include fatigue,headache, and shortness of breath.Children who have sickle-cell anemiaare at increased risk for developingpneumonia and other infections.There is no cure. Treatment includesimmunization against communicablediseases, oxygen therapy, antibiotics,medications, and fluids to preventdehydration during physical activity,sickness, and hot weather.

Systemic lupus erythematosus (SLE) Acondition in which connective tissuebecomes inflamed is systemic lupuserythematosus (SLE). SLE affectsthe skin, kidneys, joints, muscles, andcentral nervous system.
