FIVE FACTS FROM THE SOURCE (Embedded): |
During pregnancy your body can produce " significant hormonal changes during pregnancy [that] can lead to blood sugar elevation in genetically predisposed individuals" which leads to gestational diabetes. |
When someone has Type 1 diabetes "the pancreas undergoes an autoimmune attack by the body itself, and is rendered incapable of making insulin". |
"In autoimmune diseases" like Type 1 diabetes "the immune system mistakenly manufactures antibodies and inflammatory cells that are directed against and cause damage to patients' own body tissues". |
When someone has Type 2 diabetes "patients can still produce insulin, but do so relatively inadequately for their body's needs, particularly in the face of insulin resistance". |
Type 2 diabetes "occurs mostly in individuals over 30 years old and the incidence increases with age". |
Summary of Source (Three-Four Sentences of the Who, What, Where, Why, and How in your own words. NO OPINION):
Credibility of Source:
Author or Site: Who is the author? What training have they had? If there is no author, examine the site. What is the purpose of the site? Who funds the site?
The purpose of the site is to inform readers about the different types of diabetes. The MedicineNet, Inc funds the site.
Attachment: Does the author or site have anything to gain from writing this, or is it simply informative? For example, is it a cigarette business posting an article about the benefit of cigarettes, or is it a scientific community unaffiliated with the cigarette business?
The author has nothing to gain from this this site it is only to inform people about diabetes.
Bias: Do you detect a bias (a favoring of either side) in the author's writing?
I do not detect a bias because there is no positive/negative side to diabetes it is only discussing the different types.
References: Does the author cite references in the writing? If so, do these add or take away from the credibility?
The author does not cite references in the writing.
Use of Source: How will you use this source in your project?
