What causes diateses?
your bodys lack of insilin
Diabetes is a disorder in which the pancreas produces too little or no?
your body dosent make enough insilin.
What if your blood sugar is higher after you take insilin?
Give the insulin some time to work (at least 30 minutes). If your sugar has not gone down I would consult your doctor as your insulin dosage may need increased.
Which system is responsible for insilin?
Insulin is made in the pancreas. While the pancreas secretes digestive enzymes, it also produces several hormones. These are called endocrine cells, so it is part of the endocrine system. Specifically, insulin is made in the beta cells of the pancreas.

your muscles take over your neuromuscular body structure therefore causing an extremley irritating rash on your insilin sack. your bodys enzymes cannot function correctly and you turn into a motionless body but can only move abdominals and gluteus maximus muscles almost similar to a worm.
What if you forget to give insilin shot to diabetic dog?
You should give it to them as soon as possible after you remember. Then monitor your pet's blood sugar using a blood meter or urine test strips. If your pet exhibits any signs of hypoglycemia or starts showing signs of diabetes take them to the vet asap. For hypoglycemia you can give your pet honey, caro syrup, or corn syrup on the way to the Vet so they won't slip into a diabetic coma. Check out the petdiabetes.com website for more information about your pet's diabetes, insulin, and monitoring their blood sugar.
What are the essentials for buying a new horse?
take someone along that knows about horses. make sure you know you want to get horses, and will not grow uninterested. i say this in the interest of the horse. i know it sounds unneeded, but get a vet to take blood. we had a horse die that we bought, possibly from insilin resistance. it was out first horse. 1/10 horses die from colic, and colic can be caused by many diseases and problems that a vet can detect. depending on what you are using the horse for, make sure the horse fits your needs. learn more about the horse. visit the horse more than once before buying. make sure the price is right. go out and see many horses before making a decision. dont let the owners sway you. tell them what you want. stay within your comfort range. don't trailer a horse any farther than you want. if you want to stay within the state, or within the city, make sure that other people know that. hope this helps
How are gm foods made?
GMOs are genetically modified organisms. In general they are made by taking DNA from a source and putting it into the cells of a target organism to produce a desired trait. More specifically, in crops a gene from a bacteria or other organism is forced into the cells of the plant to produce a desired trait. Often the trait is either resistance to a herbicide or production of a substance in the plant itself to kill insects.
