Can you be over medicated with insulin?
Insulin is for type I diabetus mellitus; of course overmedication is possible and is very dangerous.
Is type 2 diabetes known as insulin-dependent diabetes?
No. Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent or juvenile onset diabetes. The causes of type 2 diabetes can either be a lack of insulin sensitivity or insulin production problem. Some people with type 2 diabetes take insulin, but it is not known as insulin-dependent diabetes.
Can low blood sugars lead to diabetes?
High insulin levels occur in an attempt to counter high levels of sugar. Type II diabetes is caused by insulin receptors on cells not having much of a response to insulin. Hence, more insulin is released in an attempt to lower the blood sugar levels. This is why high insulin levels are a symptom of Type II diabetes, not a cause.

Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
What hormone is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes?
Insulin is the hormone that is imbalanced in type 2 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, insulin resistance results in the production of increased, but ineffective, insulin.
What is the density of insulin?
Insulin is a type of hormone which is created by beta cells in the pancreas. Insulin is critical in the process of metabolism. The density of insulin is not listed.
The disease in which there is an insulin deficiency is?
Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is where your pancreas doesn't work pretty much at all, and type 2 is when you are over weight and don't exercise and you have to take small amounts of insulin or pills to keep it under control.
What is the difference between a Type-1 diabetic and an insulin-dependent diabetic?
Type-1 diabetics are generally insulin-dependent, but not all insulin-dependent diabetics are type-1. Type-1 refers to how the patient contracted diabetes -- by having their pancreatic beta cells stop producing insulin, usually due to an autoimmune disorder. Type-2 diabetics became diabetic through a combination of genetic and lifestyle problems that reduced insulin production and/or increased insulin resistance. Type-2 diabetics usually begin treatment with diet changes and oral medications that increase insulin production or reduce resistance, rather than taking injections of actual insulin. But a Type-2 diabetic may become insulin-dependent over time, if treatment isn't effective. The high blood sugar can attack the pancreas (through oxidative stress and amyloidosis), reducing insulin production until even oral medications are no longer adequate.
What is difference between allegra require a prescription while Claritin can be bought over the counter you believe they are in the same drug category and contain similar ingredients?
Claritin (loratadine) and Allegra (fexofenadine) are both in the 2nd generation antihistamine category, so you are correct - they are both in the same drug category. Loratadine, however, has applied and has bee approved by the FDA for over the counter sales while fexofenadine has not. This is why you can buy Claritin, but not Allegra, over the counter. It is all a matter of approval, not drug type.
