 DIABETES
(Recall all you know)
READ ALOUD
 Exercise 1
 From ancient times diabetes, also called, sugar
diabetes, has been a dreaded disease. It is caused by
partial inability of the cells to use glucose. Unused
sugar remains in the blood and is excreted in the
urine.
 Unable to fully make use of sugar for energy, the
diabetic loses weight and becomes weak. Blood
circulation is poor. The blood clots extremely slowly.
Minor infection flares up into serious illnesses. Slow
healing of wounds may lead to tissue death or
gangrene.

 Saddam Hussein, a Sunni Muslim had always seen
himself as a great leader of the Arab world. In his eyes,
Kuwait’s repeated refusals to give in to Iraqi demands was
seen as a defiance and a personal attack on him.

Saddam Hussein was also worried that there would be an

uprising in Iraq against him, especially by the Shi’a
Muslims, who formed the majority in Iraq. The Iran-Iraq war
had left the Iraqi economy and country devastated.
Although Saddam Hussein claimed that the war with iran
had been a success, it did not appear so to his people.
Prices of basic necessities were extremely high and the
people were unhappy with him. Moreover, the Iraqi
government had built up a large army numbering a million
personnel during the war. Saddam Hussein feared that the
Iraqi army would turn against him if the situation in Iraq did
not improve.

 The Infant mortality rate refers to the number of deaths of
children under the age of one per 1000 live births in a
year.

 In the DCs, the availability of good sanitation facilities and

healthcare systems, and the easy accessibility of
hospitals and doctors have contributed to lower infant
mortality rates compared to those of LDCs. The infant
mortality rate in Singapore, for example, is one of the
lowest in the world at only about 2 per 1000 live births. In
some LDCs the occurrence of shortage and drought may
create a shortage of food, resulting in more babies dying
from famine and malnutrition. Poorly nourished people are
also more vulnerable to life-threatening diseases. For
example, in Ethopia, the infant mortality rate is at a high of
100 per 1000 live births.
