Type I diabetes
The type I diabetes is often referred to as the juvenile or the insulin-dependent diabetes. According to Rheem G., (2013) Type 1 diabetes is basically an auto-immune disease where the cells responsible for producing insulin in the pancreas are attacked by the immune system and the person has no control over this. Type 1 diabetes renders the patient dependent on lifelong injection of insulin into the body to help manage the blood glucose levels. It occurs predominantly among children and young adults, yet the Type 2 diabetes is predominant among the ages of 40 years and above. The victims of Type 1 diabetes are usually of normal weight or thin. Here, the body produces no insulin or too little to be of significant function for the body and the onset is usually observed to be sudden.
There are three cardinal signs of this type of diabetes which can develop quite fast in the victims of this diabetes, these are; Polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia. Polyuria is the need to urinate frequently and when one does so it is in large volumes. This is due to the fact that the type I diabetes patents will feel thirsty and take a lot of water hence the need to urinate all the time and in large volumes, it is said that the amount urine is often above 2 liters per day. Polydipsia refers to increased thirst in the type I diabetes patients accompanied by high...
The high levels of sugar in the blood makes the patient feel thirsty hence tends to take in a lot of water. Polyphagia is the constant urge that the type I diabetes patient will have to keep eating and this appetite is accompanied by frequent hunger. The only significant management of type I diabetes mellitus is the use of insulin injections since this is what lacks in the body to enable the utilization of the glucose in the blood (Diabetes Digital Media, 2014).
These three above are the major signs though there are other signs that are associated with diabetes mellitus such as numbness in feet, pain in the feet and general fatigue as well as blurred vision. The patient may also experience recurrent and at times severe infections. The patient may also experience loss of consciousness or severe nausea and vomiting. Among the female patients there may occur vaginal yeast infection (Mayo Clinic, 2014). It is indicated that genetic factors play a big role in the cause of diabetes and t some extent there are environmental factors such as viruses that may trigger the disease.

Balance Classes, Home Raising a second set of kids after I'd thought I could retire from that has been a challenge since the accident but we're learning to work through it and it's getting easier the longer we go on, as the children and all of us grow through the loss of their parents, and I learn how to do everything faster.

The attention on cases of impairment has generally been reduced, but this is expected to increase with the more emphasis placed on financial analysis and audits, a need generated by the contemporaneous economic crisis (Wayman, 2009). As an addition then, there have been developed complementary regulations. IFRS 3 for instance, states that while amortisation tests will not be conducted, impairments tests will still be performed. IAS 39 states that

balance sheet would be recognized at historical cost? The balance sheet presents a list of the firms' long- and short-term assets and liabilities.
