I think it's because it helps to stimulate our immune system.

What if insulin was never made?
Insulin cannot cross the placenta, so if a person were to never make insulin they would probably die in utero. The normal human fetus begins making its own insulin at about day 14.
Why is the discovery of insulin by canadians so important?
The discovery of insulin made a near normal life possible for hundreds of millions of diabetics around the world.Answer:Prior to the discovery of insulin and its role in the body's use of sugar, diabetes was universally fatal. Once Banting and Best, the co-discoverers, identified insulin and its origin in the pancreas it was possible to determine if insulin from other sources control the disease. As a consequence millions of diabetics can live a normal life today. The fact that Banting and Best were Canadian is a source of pride for Canadians
What happens when a cell have too few insulin?
Insulin is a hormone that causes cells to absorb and store glucose. When the body fails to produce sufficient insulin, or the insulin is ineffective, the body cannot store glucose, and can become lethargic. Diabetes is the name for the condition where insulin is not functioning properly.
Why do you have to use insulin when you have diabetes?
Everyone has insulin and the pancreas makes it. When your body doesn't make insulin that is diabetes. Insulin is the liquid the pancreas makes so that you can break down nutritious food into energy. So with diabetes you have to get the insulin with a shot in the arm, leg, butt, or stomach.
Is it bad to seal a leaking transmission?
Absolutely not! The fluid in your transmission is vital to its performance! No fluid... no work right! So, keeping the fluid in your tanny at the proper level is most important for its survival!!
If insulin contains 3.4 percent sulfur what is the least moleculer weight of insulin?
Insulin is a hormone that regulate the homeostasis of glucose if the levels are above than normal. Insulin protein is made up of 51 amino acids, that gives the molecular weight about 5808 Da.There are disulphide linkages present between chain A and chain B of insulin protein that is provided by sulfur containing amino acid cysteine.
How long can you live without your pancreas?
as long as any normal human being, but there is a way to live, you have to live on insulin because the pancreas produces insulin, so you would have to live by the needle
Are hormones used to treat diabetes?
Diabetes is when your body does not produce the hormone insulin. So with someone with type 1 diabetes they have to do daily insulin injections. So the job of insulin is to level out your blood sugar level so yes the hormone insulin is used to treat diabetes.
Is insulin Flammable?
Insulin is peptide hormone, and is moderately reduced, so theoretically, it is flammable.
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.
What is insuline resistance?
insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas/beta cells when you eat glucose(sugar) is in the blood stream in order for your cells to use the glucose for energy or store it insulin has to "unlock the gate" to let glucose into the cell in insulin resistance your body cells don't let the insulin "unlock the gate" so the pancreas produces more insulin so you have a lot of insulin in your blood stream Type2 Diabetes - pancreas does not produce enough insulin, or the muscle cells does not able to properly utilize the insulin.
Why insulin is used?
Insulin is usually made in your body automatically; diabetes is when your body does not make enough insulin. So some people with diabetes have to take insulin to control their blood sugar.
