What causes the pacreas to stop making or producing insulin?
Cali195877
Diabetes Mellitus is a metabolic disorder in which there is an absence or insufficient production of insulin. Two major classifications of diabetes are Type I or insulin-dependent mellitus (IDDM) and Type II, non-insulin dependent mellitus (NIDDM). Though many Type II diabetics use insulin but may still retain some degree of pancreatic function.

Can you get so many insulin injections that your Diabetes is cured?
No. Diabetes is not cured by using insulin injections. You are giving yourself insulin injections because your body cannot produce enough insulin itself; therefore, if you were not to take the insulin injections you would have further detrimental complications. Once your body stops making insulin, it never "starts" making it again.
What can Diabetes cause?
Type 1 Diabetes is caused when insulin-making cells are destroyed in the pancreas.Type 2 diabetes is caused when there is a lack of insulin available.
What is the process of making human insulin with bacteria?
Human insulin is made with bacteria through recombinant DNA. It introduces a copy of human insulin DNA to a host cell, which then produces human insulin.
Is there anything to help replace insulin?
Insulin is a natural substance! It is made by your pancreas. If your pancreas is not making enough insulin to keep you alive, then you need to inject more insulin. There is nothing else except insulin that you can use.
How does diabietis two affect you?
It means that your body is not producing enough insulin which means that when food is broken down, insulin isn't distributing glucose (sugar) to cells and parts of the body properly, making your blood glucose level too high or low. This can cause other health complications, and if left too long it can even cause a coma.
What if insulin was never made?
Insulin cannot cross the placenta, so if a person were to never make insulin they would probably die in utero. The normal human fetus begins making its own insulin at about day 14.
Is insulin a nutrient food source?
No you do not need to intake insulin if you do not have a certain disease in which your body does not receive insulin, such as diabtes. If you do not have diabetes then your body should be already making insulin.so no it is not a food source.(:
Is saving energy an act of producing energy?
No, saving is not the same as producing. Saving means taking what's already there and making it go further. Producing means actually making energy.
How can bacteria be used to help people that are diabetic?
Scientists have put some bacteria to work making medicines and other substances. The first medicine-producing bacteria were made in the 1970s. By manipulating the bacteria's genetic material, scientists engineered bacteria to produce human insulin. Although healthy people can make their own insulin, those with some types of diabetes cannot. Many people with diabetes need to take insulin daily. Thanks to bacteria's fast rate of reproduction, large number of insulin-making bacteria can be grown in huge vats. The human inlusin they produce is then perified and made into medicine. CREDITS FROM: NORTH CAROLINA 8TH GRADE PRENTICE HALL SCIENCE EXPLORER Pg.225
How does the pancreas control blood glucose levels?
Blood levels of glucagon and insulin are controlled by islets of Langerhans in the pancreas, in which some of the islet cells, called alpha cells, secrete the hormone glucagon and other islet cells, called beta cells, secret insulin.
How does the body work and regulate insulin and glycagon?
The body regulates insulin by either not making it in the pancreas or making it. It filters Glycogen (glucose) by either filtering your blood in the liver and removing it if there is too much or making it. You get it from eating sugar. Hope this helps =)
