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.

Can insulin or glucagon be given in pill form?

Cannot.Both are protein hormones.So they are digested by gastric juice.


What happens if the body produces too much glucagon?

What happens if I have too much glucagon?Rare tumours of the pancreas called glucagonomas can secrete excessive quantities of glucagon. This can cause diabetes mellitus, weight loss, venous thrombosis and a characteristic skin rash. What happens if I have too little glucagon?Unusual cases of deficiency of glucagon secretion have been reported in babies. This results in severely low blood glucose which cannot be controlled without administering glucagon. Glucagon can be given by injection to restore blood glucose lowered by insulin (even in unconscious patients). It can increase glucose release from glycogen stores more than insulin can suppress it. The effect of glucagon is limited, so it is very important to eat a carbohydrate meal once the person has recovered enough to eat safely.


What happens when paratonic solutions injected?

Paratonic Solutions are injected into the body to treat conditions that can be very painful and uncomfortable. These injections are made into the skin and muscle tissues. Injections to help with chronic pain or acute pain can be very helpful in a lot of different ways. Painful conditions like arthritis or fibromyalgia can be made much less painful by injections. Also, injections can help with chronic pain issues that can come from nerve damage. The benefits of using injections to treat pain include reduced pain, faster recovery from injuries, increased mobility, and improved quality of life. Injections can also help with chronic pain issues that cannot be treated by other therapies. It’s all about the details Injections are usually done under the skin or in muscle tissue. There are two types of injections that are most commonly done. The first type is injections of a numbing agent to reduce the pain of the injection and prevent bleeding. The second types are pain medications and treatments for the pain that is being treated. Injections are usually given using a needle and a syringe. The needle goes through the skin and into the targeted area where it delivers medication or anesthetic. Most injections are done by trained professionals that know exactly how to insert the needle and inject the correct amount of medicine. After the injection is complete, the skin will close itself back up and be fine to go back to normal activities.

Injections which are not made in a vein or a muscle but just under the skin are called?

Injections just under the skin, so that you can see the needle while the medication is injected, are referred to as Intradermal. The PPD test for tuberculosis is administered this way. Injections administered into the layer below the skin are called subcutaneous. Insulin is administered this way. Injections which deliver medicine into a muscle are referred to as Intramuscular. Most immunizations are given this way, as are most antibiotic injections. Injections which deliver medicine directly into the bloodstream are referred to as Intravenous.


How is the diet for type 1 diabetes different from the diet for someone without diabetes?

It depends, because if you are on 2 injections a day then it means you would have to cut down on carbohydrate and sugar and do extra injections with a "rapid" which is a fast acting substance, if you are on 4 injections a day, then you basically have the same diet but you have to "carbohydrate count" where you work out how many carbs you eat at each meal, and depending on what the ration your G.P has given you, you then work out how many units of insulin to inject. e.g my ratio at lunch is 1:10 and lets say i have a sandwich of 40 carbs, i will have 4 units of rapid insulin (other diabetics may have a different insulin).

What are insulin injections?

When given properly, they are relatively painless injections of supplemental insulin that need to be added to your bloodstream to maintain a safe and steady blood glucose (blood sugar) level. They are necessary because most or all of the insulin your pancreas produces is "destroyed" by your immune system when you have diabetes. ALWAYS use a new syringe for each injection for the obvious danger of infection, but a syringe is also the least painful (if at all) with its FIRST use. It's all downhill after that, like a new knife or razor blades.


What types of insulin can be given intravenously?

ONLY REGULAR insulin can be given IV.Rapid-insulin analogs (insulin aspart, insulin lispro and insulin glulisine) may also be administered intravenously for glycemic control in selected clinical situations under appropriate medical supervision.


How do you give an injection for diabetes?

Pills (primarily for Type Two Diabetes) and injections (Type One). The daily injections can be replaced by the insertion of an insulin pump which meters an omn demand continuous supply of insulin just like a pancreas. Work on Inhalation Systems for insulin are under development. Modern medical treatments include the replacement of the insulin producing cells by the injection of pancreatic cells into the body either as free living cells or in "cage"
