1 Microbiology receives almost any clinical specimen, including swabs, feces, urine, blood, sputum, cerebrospinal fluid, synovial fluid, as well as possible infected tissue. 2  The work here is mainly concerned with cultures, to look for suspected pathogens which, if found, are further identified based on biochemical tests.
There is no cure for diabetes. Neither type 1 (juvenile onset or insulin-requiring) diabetes or type 2 (adult-onset) diabetes ever goes away. In type 1 diabetes, patients sometimes experience what physicians have come to call a honeymoon period shortly after the disease is diagnosed.During the honeymoon period diabetes may appear to go away for a period of a few months to a year.The patient's insulin needs are minimal and some patients may actually find they can maintain normal or near normal blood glucose taking little or no insulin.t would be a mistake to assume that the diabetes has gone away, however. Basically, type 1 diabetes occurs when about 90 percent of the body's insulin-producing cells have been destroyed. At the time that type 1 diabetes is diagnosed, most patients still are producing some insulin.
But itâs not too late to turn things around. If you have it (like 79 million other Americans), your blood sugar (glucose) level is higher than it should be, but not in the diabetes range. People used to call it borderline diabetes. Normally, your body makes a hormone called insulin to help control your blood sugar.When you have prediabetes, that system doesn't work as well as it should. You might not be able to make enough insulin after eating, or your body might not respond to insulin properly.f you're overweight, your prediabetes is more likely to turn into diabetes. Losing even as little as 5% to 10% of your body weight makes a difference. 2. Exercise. Get moderate exercise for 30 minutes a day, such as cycling, swimming, or brisk walking. It helps prevent and manage diabetes, studies show.
