Insulin is what catabolises (breaks down) glucose following a high carbohydrate meal.
Diabetes has 4 types: only type 1 diabetes is related to insulin (seen in children and adolescents). It is called Insulin-Dependent Diabetes.
Diabetes is basically very high levels of glucose found in the blood (greater then 250mg/dl) after testing. Where, normal fasting ranges of glucose = 70-110mg/dl
Type 1:
If their is a severe lack of insulin in the body. Glucose is unable to be broken down by the body (by stomach juices), because glucose is "dependent" upon insulin to be broken down causing diabetes (high levels of glucose in the body).
What else can I help you with?
Which hormonal imbalances cause diabetes insipidus?
decreased Insulin level will result in increased levels of blood glucose or in other terms diabetes mellitus
What does the inability to produce insulin cause?
The inability to produce insulin is the cause of type I diabetes mellitus. Not being able to use insulin effectively causes Type II diabetes mellitus.
What can Diabetes cause?
Type 1 Diabetes is caused when insulin-making cells are destroyed in the pancreas.Type 2 diabetes is caused when there is a lack of insulin available.
Is diabetes an example of hypersecretion hyposecretion or receptor problem?
Diabetes mellitus is not caused by a hypersecretion of insulin. A person with diabetes either produces too little insulin, or a normal amount of insulin that is not recognized by other cells in the body. Diabetes is caused by a lack of effective insulin. In type 1 diabetes the pancreatic beta cells are not producing sufficient insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when insulin sensitivity in target cells has decreased, so the insulin is no longer causing glucose uptake.
When insulin is not proper working which disease cause occur?
Diabetes
Being Overweight is a Major Cause of Diabetes?
Your weight is your biggest risk factor for developing diabetes. Fat cells cause the body to release more insulin, resulting in insulin resistance.
What causes the inability to produce insulin?
The inability to produce insulin is the cause of type I Diabetes mellitus. Not being able to use insulin effectively causes Type II diabetes mellitus.
What will cause a change in plasma ketone?
When insulin levels ate decreased.
What gland scretes diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes is caused by any defect onlow or no secretion of insulin orimproper use of insulinInsulin is secreted by the gland "Pancreas". So pancreas is responsible for diabetes, it the cause is low insulin secretion (type II diabetes) or no insulin secretion (type I diabetes).Body cells is not sensitive to insulin, then diabetes type II is caused called as insulin resistance.
Do a head injury cause diabetes?
no diabetes has to do with the blood and insulin in your body and the break down of food. a head injury cant cause diabetes its impossible. maybe a concussion though
Can insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus cause chronic renal failure?
Yes
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.
