How do you control your blood sugar level if you think it has taken a dip?
Diabetes mellitus, by definition, is an inability to properly process blood glucose. The untreated, out-of-control diabetic has abnormally high blood sugars, and the diabetic who wishes to keep his or her blood sugars down in the normal range uses diet, exercise, oral medications, and/or insulin to get them there. For whatever reason, sometimes the sugars dip too low, and hypoglycemia results.
How the assimilation of glucose by a non diabetic person differs from that of a person suffering from diabetes?
It's important to note that there are two types of diabetic people, literally called Type 1 and Type 2. Type 1 diabetics do not produce insulin, while Type 2 diabetics are resistant to insulin. While the reason for it is different, the commonality is that diabetic people effectively lack the insulin that normal people use to regulate their blood sugar levels. For a non-diabetic person, when their blood sugar rises their pancreas secretes insulin to help break down the glucose, and when their blood sugar is low their production of insulin slows. For a diabetic person, this system is malfunctioning, which causes them to either not produce enough insulin or not properly utilize what they have.

What. Is. Glucose tolerance test?
A glucose tolerance test helps check if someone has Diabetes. (This might be type-2, type-1, or gestational. ) The test deliberately elevates blood sugar, then monitors how quickly the pancreas can secrete insulin to bring sugar down to normal levels. The speed of lowering and the final blood sugar level after a few hours show pancreatic peak capacity. This test is needed because blood sugar level varies over time and so one reading cannot, by itself, be used to determine if a person is diabetic. The test can also determine if someone is borderline or pre-diabetic, if their final blood sugar levels are acceptable but the speed of lowering is not as good as usual.

How do the pancreatic alpha cells of type 2 diabetic contribute to high blood sugar concentration?
When the pancreatic alpha cells respond, they secrete glucagon to signal cells to break down glycogen into glucose. As cells release sugar, blood glucose concentration increases.
Does a starch affect a diabetic the same as sugar?
