Glycogen is the type of carbohydrate which our body uses for storage. It is normally stored in muscles. It is important as a 'reserve' source of energy for our body. When the blood glucose level decreases, insulin converts glycogen into glucose so as to bring it to the normal blood glucose level.
oxygen and glucose
The liver will bring the sugar/glucose back into the blood
you can eat a small snack or eat glucose tablets to raise it.
No, there is not. You have to give yourself an insulin shot.
If a diabetic goes into a coma, their blood glucose level would likely be very high, potentially above 600 mg/dL. This condition is known as diabetic ketoacidosis (DKA) and requires immediate medical attention to bring the blood glucose level back to a normal range.
Some people feel slightly sick or nauseated if they have not eaten on time. It's very common. Also, otherwise healthy people can have temporary drops in blood glucose. Eating a balanced meal helps bring blood sugar back within normal range.
A high blood sugar level (hyperglycemia) is when the level of glucose in your blood sugar is too high, for example if i tested my blood sugar (I have diabetes) and i was 15.7 I would have to take a correction dose to bring it down to its normal range of between 4-10 (I person without diabetes should be in the range of 4-7)
Hormones in general are produced by glands. There are different kinds of hormones in your body released by different glands. An example is insulin. This specific hormone is released by your pancreas when your blood glucose goes up in order to bring it back to normal again. If your body does not produce this hormone then this means that you are diabetic.
The pancreas produces insulin which allows the glucose to enter the cells to fuel them. Also the insulin sends the body into fat building mode and some of the glucose is used up by being stored away as fat.
You are NEVER to put anything directly into an artery except for arterial monitoring devices, administering medications of any kind directly to an artery can cause death. Administering medications and IV fluids, glucose, etc to the vein allows time for the fluids to be absorbed on a cellular level before getting to the heart as veins bring deoxygenated blood back to the heart at a slower rate than arteries that bring oxygenated blood from the heart to the tissues.
Blood glucose monitoring is the main tool you have to check your diabetes control. This check tells you your blood glucose level at any one time. Keeping a log of your results is vital. When you bring this record to your health care provider, you have a good picture of your body's response to your diabetes care plan.
