Why cant you mix insulin into food instead of injecting?
Mixing insulin into food would alter its effectiveness, as the digestive process breaks down insulin before it can enter the bloodstream to regulate blood sugar. Insulin injections deliver the hormone directly into the bloodstream for immediate absorption and effectiveness. Mixing insulin into food would not provide the same controlled and reliable blood sugar management as injections.
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 would your arm have a lump after injecting steroids?
Injecting to fast
What osmotic effect would injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution have?
Injecting a patient with a 10 percent saline solution would create an osmotic effect by drawing water from the cells into the bloodstream to help balance the concentration of solutes. This can lead to an increase in blood volume and blood pressure due to the additional solutes. The osmotic effect can also affect the hydration status of the patient's cells and tissues.
What would happen if you inject your insulin in the neck?
You'd have a high probability of injecting it into the bloodstream accidentally, meaning it would have a much faster action (onset) and a much shorter duration than usual. This could be very dangerous since you could experience hypoglycemic shock even with your normal dose. Any place you inject insulin regularly will begin to build up a local blob of fat (lipohypertrophy) and you don't really want that in your neck either. And finally, there are delicate and vital structures in your neck, closely packed together, that you don't want to accidentally jab with a needle.
Why do diabetics receive insulin subcutaneously by infection rather than orally?
[Because it gets in your system faster than having to take a pill and wait for the pill to dissolve.] Although this is probably also true, I think the main reason is that insulin is a protein molecule, which mean if you took it in pill-form your digestive system would break it down before it had a chance to be absorbed and get to work.
How might these results be different if this individual was not able to produce sufficient levels of insulin?
C) The maximum level of blood glucose would be higher.
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?
Human insulin is preferable to animal insulin because it is made through genetic engineering, ensuring higher purity and reducing the risk of allergic reactions. Additionally, human insulin closely mimics the natural insulin produced by the human body, which leads to more predictable and consistent results in managing diabetes. Lastly, human insulin is now more widely available and cost-effective compared to animal-derived insulin.
Is it harmful to take insulin if you don't need it?
Your pancreas knows how much insulin it needs to secrete if you take additional insulin insulin receptors in fat cells will become less responsive to it, so your pancreas will need to secrete more for the same effect. This process is the begining of type 2 diabetes. You would need to take additional insulin for a few weeks without any break for this to occure.
How would a doctor know the pancreas is damaged?
the amount of insulin in her blood is wrong
Why does your body not absorb insulin?
When in the human body (organs Pancreas+liver) is unable to produce insulin, then it leads to a condition called diabetes when the blood sugar level increases to damage many functional organs including metabolic problems. Insulin is then injected in the human body for metabolic function.
Which procedure would most likely provide valid results in a test to determine if drug A would be effective in treating cancer white mice?
Injecting 1 mL of drug A into 100 white mice with cancer and 1 mL of distilled water into another group of 100 white mice with cancer
