If you inject a diabetic shot by mistake would you be diabetic?
You do not become diabetic by injecting yourself with insulin; your body naturally produces insulin. You become diabetic when your pancreas stops working well (or stops working at all.) However, you could lapse into a coma and die if there is too much insulin in your body. Do NOT inject insulin into yourself or anyone else unless told by a doctor to do so.
How does pancreas know to give off insulin?
When it detects the sugar in your blood. The sugar has to pass through your pancreas and it lets insulin out depending on how much sugar there is.
What body part produces insulin so that cells can use sugar?
An organ called the pancreas is responsible for producing insulin. The beta cells found in the islets of Langerhans that are inside the pancreas, specifically carry out the production process.
Why does the pancreas does not work even it gets insulin?
The pancreas is supposed to make insulin, glucagon, and enzymes. When you become a diabetic, either the pancreas stops making insulin, or the cells in the body are unable to use insulin. If the pancreas stops making insulin, that is type one diabetes, and if the body cannot use insulin, that is type two diabetes. While it is possible to cause type one diabetes with alcohol abuse, both forms of diabetes are often a result of an immune response. Type one diabetes is usually childhood onset, and a virus or the immune system attacks the pancreas. Type two diabetes is often acquired through bad diet. You might get so much fat and plaques from the fat that the body mistakes it for invaders. So the body ends up targeting insulin receptors.
Hormone responsible for diabetes?
If the body does not have enough insulin, then one can get diabetes. If the cells can not use the insulin the body has very well, then one can get diabetes. If one has diabetes, then the doctor might say to use insulin. If the body has too much insulin, then the cells store energy in the cells as fat. When a person is overweight, that is one of the main symptoms of diabetes. If the body and cells use insulin well to control blood sugar level, then the person is not diabetic.
How does eating too much affect the pancreas?
Eating too much can cause a large intake of sugars. The pancreas is an organ that makes insulin, to keep the sugar level under control. If there is too much sugar, the pancreas can fail to make enough insulin. The chronic condition of a failing pancreas is known as Diabetes.
What part of the body make insulin?
The pancreas makes insulin. The liver works in conjunction with the pancreas to keep insulin-glucose ratios in balance. But since the pancreas is damaged, the liver often over-compensates during illness and releases too much glucagon, which upsets the precarious glucose-insulin balance that persons with diabetes must manage every day.
What controls how much sugar is in the blood?
The pancreas inject insulin to control the sugar.
What kind of cell is used to produce human insulin?
Human insulin is not manufactured. The insulin that humans use is derived from animals ie pig its not you can buy it from quicksave or netto
What if you have to much insulin resistance?
Then it's called Type II diabetes, the pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly utilize the insulin.
How much is six units of insulin for a diabetic?
It depends on the type of insulin and also the diabetic. It varies greatly on long acting insulin and short acting insulin. For short acting insulin you need to find out the insulin to carbohydrate ratio for a diabetic first. Using a sliding scale you need to determine the blood sugar of the diabetic and also how many carbohydrates they have ingested. Whether or not it is a Type 1 or Type 2 diabetic will also affect the outcome. For an average sized adult with type 1 diabetes, they would need to consume approximately 60-85 grams of carbohydrates, but again it depends on the individual greatly.
How does alcohol increase insulin sensitivity?
Alcohol can increase insulin sensitivity because it can affect the way that the pancreas works. Over time, too much alcohol can keep the pancreas from working at all, leading to diabetes.
