Peptic Ulcers 
Peptic ulcers occur when the protective mucous lining in the stomach is exposed to HCI and pepsin. This exposure destroys the cell membrane. When the lesion is created there is an increase in blood flow and acid secretions, which causes multiple tissue to burn. Ulcer's are typically linked to Heliobacter pulori which is a bacteria. Diet, stress and other factors may also play a role in the development. 






 

Diabetes 
 

Diabetes is a disease where the body cannot produce insulin or cannot produce adequate amounts of insulin. Insulin controls the amount of glucose in the blood. When someone has high blood sugar levels, damage to their organs, blood vessels and nerves can occur. The body needs insulin to use sugar as an energy source. In the pancreas, the beta cells release insulin when someone's blood sugar is too high, to neutralize the blood sugar level.
