The best was to lower your glucose level in the short term is to lower your carb intake. This means cutting your intake of all items with carbs. This means more than just cutting sugar from your diet, it means cutting starches like pasta, bread, fruit, juice, rice, potatoes, etc. Look at the labels. My basic rule of thumb is to stay away from anything that's sold in a box, and becareful of items sold in cans and bags. Also, the only liquid I drink is water, there's no need to stick another 200+ calories in my body drinking anything else. For the long term you will need to exercise. Aerobic exercise helps to strengthen your heart and lungs and inproves you metabolism. Building muscle helps to burn sugars more effeciently, so all exercise is good. Applying these principals, I brought my A1C down in 3-months from a 9.9 to a 5.5 and I've stayed in the mid 5's for the past year. And no, I have never taken any medication for my Diabetes!

Blood glucose levels are maintained by the protein insulin, which is a hormone that binds to receptor sites on cells, especially muscle cells, to facilitate diffusion of glucose into the cells. Normally, blood glucose levels are kept at normal levels in this manner.

A failure of the pancreas to make insulin, or damage to cell receptors so insulin cannot work properly are juvenile diabetes and mature onset diabetes respectively.

Eating a high protein diet low in carbohydrates is a way of externally reducing glucose levels in the blood, and of course if it is needed, injections of insulin help diabetics regulate blood glucose.

Insulin is a protein, so it must be injected and not swallowed or the stomach would break it down before it could be used.

There are also oral medications used to control blood sugar levels. These include metformin and onglyza. Some Chinese herbs are beneficial, too.

Yes. You can lower your glucose levels or at least I lowered mine. I stopped adding sugar to anything. I cut out all sweets and everything with sugar added. I dropped mine from dead to normal.

With chronic pancreatitis does amylase and lipase lab values become normal?

"Amylase serum levels will rise with chronic pancreatitis." I am currently researching the effects on serum amylase and lipase in relation pancreatitis as part of a college course I am taking. What I have learned is that the amylase level will be elevated in ACUTE pancreatitis, but will be below the "normal" range in CHRONIC pancreatitis. In addition the lipase levels "parallel" the amylase levels, but lipase is a bit slower to rise and fall. They both elevate with acute pancreatitis, and both fall below "normal" range with chronic pancreatitis. One of my best references in researching these lab values inrelation to pancreatitis is the National Institute of Health (NIH) website.

Why must animals high on the food chain eat many organisms at lower levels?

It is important for an organism to belong to a lower trophic level because the lower levels receive more energy for their food. Organisms on the higher levels also rely on all the lower levels.

Why are low levels of amylase not a serious health problem?

Hypoamylasemia (low levels of amylase) is rare. Amylase is normally found in the mouth and intestines (source pancreas), but bacteria in the colon can also break down starches. The body can also convert proteins into sugar as well so that the condition is fairly well compensated.


Is amylase found in other parts of the digestive system?

Amylase is produced by the salivary glands and pancreas.In humans, amylase is found in saliva, blood, and urine. The majority of amylase is found in the mouth, this enzyme is the chemical digestion that breaks down starch into smaller saccharides.Under normal conditions only low levels are found in the blood and urine; higher levels are found if the pancreas or salivary glands become blocked or damaged. Therefore raised levels in the blood or urine can be indicators of pancreatic diseases (such as pancreatitis).
