Azithromycin (I assume you are talking about the Z-pac form) is an antibiotic, so it really should not affect blood sugar very much. However, if you are on a Z-pac, you are being treated for a bacterial infection, and this can cause blood sugar to skyrocket.
i have a blood glucose level of 116 is that high
No. Glucose is a type of sugar and should not be taken if blood sugar is too high. This would only serve the increase blood glucose levels.
insulin is secreted in response to high blood sugar.
Well, a healthy level of blood glucose wouldn't be too high or too low. Instead, it would be in the middle between high and low. Unhealthy levels of blood glucose would be an extremely high number.
The purpose of the glucose receptors is to detect blood glucose levels. The Islets of Langerhorn dispatch alpha cells to detect low blood glucose and beta cells to detect high blood glucose levels.
Insuline and Glucagon control blood glucose. Insuline: brings down high levels of glucose. Glucagon: brings glucose levels back to normal, (brings glucose levels up).
you have high blood sugar... get that checked
Excessive diuresis withou high blood glucose levels
Pancreas detects blood glucose level by its cells called "Islets of Langerhans." When the blood glucose level is too high, it releases insulin. When it becomes too low, the pancreas then releases glucagon to elevate a low blood glucose.
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
A) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of glucagon B) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of glycogen C) Blood glucose levels that rise too high signal the release of epinephrine D) Blood glucose levels that fall too low signal the release of insulin
The blood vessel you would expect a high glucose content in after eating is the portal system.
