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.
And people with no genetic history in their family do get type 2. Much research is under way attempting to make sense of this, but it's a hard problem. There is no cure for type 1 diabetes, type 2 diabetes can go into remission after weight loss , gastric bypass or banding. Type 2 diabetes is a complex metabolic disorder linked to obesity, it develops over time, with the body becoming progressively less able to control blood sugar levels. Some patients, who have had âgastric bandingâ, show a reversal of diabetes. Other patients have shown a dramatic improvement of glucose tolerance.
