What is the difference between diabetic coma and insulin reaction?
Diabetic coma is a result of too much sugar in the blood (hyperglycemia) due to a lack of sufficient insulin production. Patients with severe diabetes take insulin injections to help suppliment their body's inability to produce enough insulin. Insulin Shock is a result of too much insulin being released into the bloodstream, wich metabolizes whatever sugars ARE in the body sometimes resulting in an extremely decreased blood sugar level (hypoglycemia). These patients generally need to be given something sweet like OJ or a candy to help jolt sugar levels in the blood.
What occurs in the living part of the water cycle?
much water is taken up by the roots of plants
What to do when blood sugar suddenly drops?
Either a high cellular sensitivity to insulin or too much insulin in the blood.
Why does insulin in the blood increase after meals?
Insulin controlls how the glucose injested is turned into fat. It also controls how much is removed to be turned into glycogen in the liver and muscles. It controls the amount of glucose transported to cells and respiration. Therefore, when we eat our pancreas supplies more insulin to be able to cope with the levels of sugar that we take in after meal times.Diabetics can produce too much insulin or too little insulin. Insulin injections need to be taken before meal times (consult a doctor) for diabetics in order to get the sugar to the cells. If the insulin is not administrated then the body will use reserves of glucose from the fat and muscles to respire and grow etc.
Why is human insulin preferable to animal insulin?

You have a 3ml syringe and need to give 0.05cc of insulin How much do i draw up in units?
only use a insulin syringe for insulin. insulin MUST be correct.
How does insulin lower the blood glucose level if it is too high?
Insulin enables the sugar to get out of the blood and into the cells where it is needed for the cells to function. If you don't have insulin because the pancreas is not producing it (as in diabetes) then the sugar will not be able to get into the cells, therefore there will be a high concentration in the blood. On the other hand, if you are diabetic and you take too much insulin, then too much sugar will go into the cells and there will not be enough sugar left in the blood.
Is insulin or glucose bigger?
An insulin molecule is much bigger than a glucose molecule.
What is hypersecretion of insulin?
when insulin is secreted in a high amount than normal. too much insulin= low blood sugar.
