Blood Glucose control Academic Essay

2000 words, just 50 words introduction as simply about glucose definition and glucose intolerants.

Objective: Look at how quickly blood glucose changes occur following the ingestion of 75g of glucose. Also calculate BMI and estimate percentage body fat using bioelectrical impedance.

Methods: it will be written as scientific methodology from the lab procedure, as given in following:
You will work in pairs, with one person volunteering to be the participant for the experiment. You should all prepare to be a participant by refraining from eating or drinking (except small amounts of water) for around 5 hours prior to the laboratory session i.e. stop eating and drinking (except water) by 09.00hrs for an afternoon laboratory practical session.

The tasks that will be carried out during the experiment are:
Participant has a baseline fingerprick blood sample and glucose concentration is measured. Calculate the amount of drink(Lucozade) required to provide 75g CHO as glucose/simple sugars. Participant then drinks the sugar solution provided. Thirty minutes after drinking the sugar solution the participant has another fingerprick sample taken and glucose concentration is measured. Start the body composition measurements on your participant – body mass and height. Sixty minutes after drinking the sugar solution the participant has another fingerprick sample taken and glucose concentration is measured. Ninety minutes after drinking the sugar solution the participant has a further fingerprick sample taken and glucose concentration is measured. Two hours after drinking the sugar solution the participant has a final fingerprick sample taken and glucose concentration is measured.

Protocol for taking a finger prick blood sample:
1. Wipe the site with a dry wipe to remove any traces of sweat.
2. Using a lancet device, prick the site. If the lancet device has settings the next to highest setting should be used first. If enough blood comes out then you can decide to continue using this setting or back off one setting. If this fails to produce enough blood then the next prick can be performed at the highest setting.
3. Wipe the first bit of blood away with a tissue.
4. Place the test strip into the glucose analyzer.
5. Gently squeeze the finger to assist blood flow.
6. Draw the blood drop either directly onto the side of the test strips. When enough blood has been drawn there will be a beep from the glucose analyzer.
7. Any subsequent blood flow should be stemmed by pressing a tissue over the sampling site. 8. After completion of sampling, the tissue should be kept in place until bleeding stops.

Results: (result is the most important part of the projects)
Written from the attached table (Excel sheet) as description of the findings, it should present what the
results are, referring to any two Tables or Figures, maximum of: two Tables; or two Figures, Considering:
– The change in blood glucose concentration over time,
– If there is a relationship between blood glucose concentration after 120 minutes and BMI or body fat

Discussion: briefly describe the physiological response you have observed and discuss the results you have obtained.

Reference: At lest 4 new scientific papers or health organizations, that published work at any point in practical report.
