insulin
What precautions are associated with insulin?
.Insulin is not recommended during breast feeding because either low or high doses of insulin may inhibit milk production. Insulin administered orally is destroyed in the GI tract, and represents no risk to the newborn.
What are some Insulin Resistance Symptoms?
Insulin resistance symptoms are linked to diseases such as obesity and type 2 diabetes. Some symptoms include high blood pressure, abnormal cholesterol levels and impaired glucose tolerance.
How is diabetes cause by obesity?
Insulin resistance is not a disease, but is a condition where the body has a lower response to insulin. As a result, the body produces larger quantities of insulin in order to maintain glucose levels in the blood. This conditions can be treated by either lifestyle changes or medication.
What is the medical term meaning condition associated with abnormal insulin secretion and sensitivity?
The medical term for a condition associated with abnormal insulin secretion and sensitivity is "insulin resistance." This condition can lead to high blood sugar levels and often precedes the development of type 2 diabetes. It is commonly seen in individuals with obesity and sedentary lifestyles.
Is sugar a stimulant?
Not necessarily. Sugar is not a stimulant by itself, however, it causes the production of insulin. Insulin is a hormone vital to regulating the amount of energy in your body. Therefore, a high insulin level will results in effects mimicking a moderate stimulant. However, this obviously would take a large amount of sugar.
What to do when blood sugar suddenly drops?
Either a high cellular sensitivity to insulin or too much insulin in the blood.
What is the antidiabetics help to control high blood sugar by reducing glucose production in the liver and by increasing insulin-dependent glucose uptake in muscle cells?
Biguanides
Can obesity lead to type 2 diabetes?
There are two different things people mean by "type-one" diabetes. Sometimes they mean "juvenile (genetic) diabetes" (which is insulin-dependent). Other times they mean insulin-dependent diabetes in general, including type-two diabetes that has deteriorated until insulin injections are required. In the second case, yes, it's possible for obesity to lead to insulin resistance which leads to diabetes, which in turn deteriorates until insulin is absolutely required. In the first case, no, juvenile diabetes appears in children from genetic causes.
Do you need insulin if blood sugar is high from stress?
If you are diabetic, hypoglycemic or hyperglycemic if there is an emergency where you have a higher amount of either you are supposed to fight it with the opposite. (ei: too much glucose: administer insulin, too much insulin: administer glucose tablets). Therefore in this case if you know a person has high blood sugar and you need to act fast, yes administer insulin if you are a trained professional, if not contact one immediately. Also note that if you are unsure about whether the person has high blood sugar a common sign is fruity breath.
What hormone is secreted when blood glucose is high?
insulin is secreted in response to high blood sugar.
