This will result too much glucose being taken up by storage cells (in the liver) and so not enough for the cell to make energy to function properly. As a result tissue may receive damage and the brain may start to malfunction.
The excess insulin causes the body's cells to accept too much glucose from the blood, faster than it can be replenished from food. This means that the blood will shortly contain too little sugar to sustain the brain's constant need for fuel.
This condition, with too little sugar in the blood to sustain the brain, is called Hypoglycemia, and it leads quickly to irritability, stupor, unconsciousness, and then if untreated, death by brain insult.
Fortunately it's extremely easy to treat if detected -- simply eating sugar or corn syrup (or if the victim is unconscious, smearing syrup on any mucous membrane, like gums) is generally enough to quickly raise blood sugar. If the insulin overdose was large, continual treatment and further doses of food and sugar will be required until most of the insulin is used up.
An overdose of insulin may not lead to hypoglycemia in some cases. If the body detects dropping blood sugar in time, it may signal the liver to release large amounts of stored glycogen from the liver, which fills the bloodstream with glucose. This saves the victim from hypoglycemic shock but can easily induce the opposite -- hyperglycemia (too much blood sugar). This "rebound" effect was first documented by Dr. Michael Somogyi in 1938 and is known as "Somogyi's phenomenon".
Your blood sugar drops. Assuming you are a diabetic, which would be the only reason you would take insulin, your blood sugar would go down. If you aren't a diabetic and you are taking insulin this could drop your blood sugar to dangerous levels. Causing you to pass out.
hello is there controlled by the pancreas because when youre diabetic youre pancreas doesnt work as well so you have to inject insulin hope this helps :)
Glucose levels
Insulin and glucagon.
Magnesium helps to maintain normal blood sugar levels. Deficiency of Magnesium can lead to insulin resistance or deficeincy of insulin. Both insulin resistance and insulin deficiency can lead to diabetes.
Sugar levels in a diabetic child can be controlled by diet and medication. Insulin and insulin substitutes may be used to keep levels in safe ranges.
Insulin
Your blood sugar drops. Assuming you are a diabetic, which would be the only reason you would take insulin, your blood sugar would go down. If you aren't a diabetic and you are taking insulin this could drop your blood sugar to dangerous levels. Causing you to pass out.
Insulin reduces blood sugar. Taking too much insulin will drastically lower the body's blood sugar. Your body needs this glucose for fuel, and without it, it cannot function. A person with low blood sugar will start to have symptoms such as shaking, confusion, sweating, hunger, lightheadedness, and eventually will lose consciousness if their blood sugar does not rise. If their blood sugar drops too low, and is not treated, the person will die.
a dangerous drop in blood sugar levels
Diabetic meals are significant to people that are diabetic or pre-diabetic and would need to eat these certain types of foods to help control their insulin levels. You can find diabetic meal ideas at http://www.diabeticlifestyle.com/
the blood sugar levels would go very high...
insulin regulates the sugar levels in a diabetic,preventing them from becoming ill and entering into a coma,called hypoglycemia
To keep sugar levels under control.
They get realy sick
Hi!! Yes. Diabetes is a chronic condition of elevated blood glucose levels. Diabetes is caused due to Insulin deficiency or Insulin resistance or both. We require insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal. Once you have insulin resistance or deficiency you require anti diabetic medicines or Insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal.
It means they have high blood sugar levels over a prolonged period.
