Hormone imbalances of the endocrine system

Type 2 Diabetes – Hormonal Imbalances And Diabetes!

Hormones are found throughout the body and are used as a way of regulating many different functions of the body. Despite the jokes associated with hormonal women, men can have hormonal imbalances, too. While these have to be dealt with under normal circumstances, they are especially important when the individual is a diabetic.
Why are hormone imbalances so important to diabetics? Because insulin is a hormone. Since diabetes is the result of either an insufficient production of insulin, or the available insulin not being utilized properly, this results in the most significant hormonal imbalance of them all.

....  another hormone  --  when out of balance and can have a negative effect on diabetes is vasopressin. This hormone is produced by the hypothalamus and tells the pituitary gland to release certain hormones which offer many benefits to the body. Vasopressin not only helps to regulate blood pressure, but it helps to maintain the body’s proper levels of water and electrolytes. A deficit in any of these areas can become detrimental to anyone with diabetes.

When adrenaline and noradrenaline levels are balanced, the brain and muscles receive the oxygen and glucose that they need. But an imbalance in these areas means that these systems are not working properly and the diabetic’s health suffers because of it.

Hormone imbalances of the endocrine system account for more than 6,000 known disorders.

THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE (aka costing $.10 @ garage sale today ~~~)

Description

THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE is a novel about coming of age, brotherhood, betrayal, and a man's forging of his own personal code of honor. The scene is the venerable Carolina Military Institute in Charleston, in the fall of 1966. The first black cadet has been admitted to the college, and Will McLean, a senior on the cadets' honor court, is asked to keep an eye on him. There is a rumor that a secret organization, The Ten, may be trying to run the black student off campus.
An outsider by nature, Will plays basketball for a school that prizes military prowess but belittles athletics. He riles his gung-ho, conservative roommates by daring to question the escalating Vietnam war. Off campus, though, he is less sure of himself, in his tender but uncertain romance with the haunting Annie Kate Gervais, a native of the classically beautiful Charleston — with its Federal mansions and fragrant gardens — that captivates and threatens the country boy in Will.
THE LORDS OF DISCIPLINE shows us cadets desperate to prove they are men in a regimented, cruel world — and one determined to be a man in is own way, whose search for the truth ultimately leads him and his beloved friends into tragic conflict with a corrupt system.
Right in humor and suspense, abounding in a rare honesty and generosity of feeling, and written with magnificent force of language, this novel established Pat Conroy as one of the strongest fictional voices in a generation.
