Diabetes (or also known as “high blood sugar” disease) Did you know that one of the diseases I study is type 2 diabetes? Type 2 diabetes falls within the general diabetes category, however, is not the only type of diabetes that humans get. Other types of diabetes include: Type 1 diabetes (this is an autoimmune disease - a condition where your immune system mistakenly attacks your body), Gestational diabetes (diabetes you get during pregnancy, which could sometimes also be type 2 diabetes during pregnancy), Monogenic diabetes, or diabetes that is caused by a single gene defect or mutation (type 1 and type 2 are polygenic (poly=many, genic=genetic or related to genes), which they are related to a change, or defect, in multiple genes). Neonatal diabetes mellitus (NDM) and maturity-onset diabetes of the young (MODY) are the two main forms of monogenic diabetes. NDM occurs in newborns and young infants. MODY is much more common than NDM and usually first occurs in adolescence or early adulthood. Today we’re going to go over type 2 diabetes, because it’s the most common type of diabetes, but we’ll cover other types of diabetes in later Science Sunday posts. We’re still in the middle of Heart Health Month, and I’m not sure if you are aware, but type 2 diabetes is a risk factor for heart disease. In fact, among people with diabetes, the most common causes of death are heart disease and stroke. There are other conditions that can result from having diabetes, though. They include: kidney disease eye problems dental disease nerve damage foot problems heart disease stroke Perhaps you’ve read all of this and thought to yourself, okay, that’s great, but I still don’t really understand what diabetes is! Well, the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Disease has a great way to describe it, so I’m going to summarize their explanation here! Diabetes is a disease that happens when your blood sugar is too high. The sugar in your blood is your main source of energy and comes from the food you eat. Continued in the comments and full post in on what blog! #scicomm

This library is one of my favorite spaces in the house. A quiet Saturday morning, means I get time to read! What books are you reading lately? I need recommendations. Also, I read a fascinating article this week titled "Nearly 1 in 3 American workers run out of money before payday—even those earning over $100,000". I'll share the link in stories, but prompted me to ask, would you like to see more money-smarts articles on Chic in Academia? Instagram and Facebook are rampant with accounts trying to get you to spend money, but I feel like fewer are balanced with also teaching you to spend wisely, within your means, and and fully disclosing what is attainable with household budgets. Anyway, it's a topic I've become very interested in the past 5-10 years. Happy to share what I read and what I've learned if you'd like! Finally, need art/pictures/something to fill that wall by the lamp. Suggestions??? Happy Saturday, y'all! #saturday #library #reading #books #money #moneysmart
