The body releases insulin after a high-carbohydrate meal to help regulate blood sugar levels. Insulin helps transport glucose from the bloodstream into the cells for energy production or storage. This process prevents blood sugar levels from rising too high, which can be harmful to the body.
What else can I help you with?
How is insulin secreted in the body?
Insulin is secreted by the pancreas in response to high levels of glucose in the blood. When you eat, your blood sugar levels rise, triggering the release of insulin. Insulin helps to regulate blood sugar by allowing cells to take in glucose for energy or storage.
What hormone is secreted when blood glucose is high?
Insulin is the hormone that is secreted when blood glucose levels are high. Insulin helps to lower blood glucose levels by signaling cells to take up glucose from the bloodstream for energy or storage.
What organ releases insulin into the duodenum?
The pancreas releases insulin into the bloodstream, not directly into the duodenum. Insulin is released in response to high blood sugar levels to regulate glucose metabolism throughout the body.
How does the body regulate blood glucose levels?
The body maintains blood glucose levels through a balance of insulin and glucagon hormones. When blood sugar is high, insulin is released to promote glucose uptake by cells and storage in the liver. On the other hand, when blood sugar is low, glucagon is released to stimulate the liver to release stored glucose into the bloodstream.
When does the body primarily use carbohydrates for fuel?
The body primarily uses carbohydrates for fuel during high-intensity activities or exercise that require quick energy, such as sprinting or weightlifting.
What causes high insulin levels What are the side effects of high insulin levels?
High insulin levels are usually caused by eating too much high glycemic carbohydrates, those carbohydrates that raise blood sugar rapidly. The body produces insulin to clear the blood of glucose. Also can be caused by high copper levels and high cortisol levels - can be from stress of the mind or body.
What is a good diet for someone who has a high insulin level?
Low carbohydrates
Can a diabetic eat beans?
of course, they just need to inject insulin if there are a high amount of carbohydrates in.
Why is insulin released?
Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to high blood sugar levels, especially after a meal. Insulin helps to move glucose from the blood into cells, where it is used for energy or stored for later use in the form of glycogen or fat.
Do people get diabetes by eating/drinking to much food/drinks with sugar?
Yes. Type II diabetes is caused mainly by a diet that is high in refined carbohydrates and sugar because the body produces more insulin causing it to resistant to insulin.
Why should you regulate blood sugar?
Your body regulates blood sugar. It is only if you have too much sugar (and carbohydrates break down into sugar) that the body can not keep up, does it become a problem. When you eat large amounts of sugar or carbohydrates, it requires the body to continuously produce high levels of insulin to keep that sugar level down. (Insulin's job is to push sugar out of the bloodstream into the cells where it is used for energy.) Eventually the cells in their body becomes insensitive to the effects of the insulin (insulin resistance). To handle this problem of insulin resistance their body begins to produce even higher levels of insulin. This continues until their pancreas reaches the maximum amount of insulin it can produce, and when the insulin resistance increases again, their blood sugar begins to rise out of control. The result is type 2 diabetes! Type 2 diabetes is actually an extreme case of insulin resistance. It is then that you have to regulate your blood sugar via diet, excerise and give you body some help to make the body's cells sensitive again to the insulin.
Predict when you would expect to find high levels of insulin in a person's blood and when you would expect to find high levels of glucagon in a person's blood?
after eating carbohydrates of certain kinds like whole wheat the carbs are said to break into sugars and the body responds by increasing insulin so after eating whole wheat bread.
What is the most immediate response to a high level of blood sugar in a human increase?
The release of insulin
In addition to taking insulin how can one treat Diabetes?
Diet is critical to anyone with diabetes. Taking insulin allows the person to control their blood sugar but if they are overloading their body with foods that are high in sugar and carbohydrates they are going to have a very difficult time maintaining a proper blood sugar level even with the insulin.
How is insulin secreted in the body?

How much insulin should you take if blood sugar is 241?
However much your body needs your diabetic nurse or doctor should be able to tell you how much this is. It's all depends on how your body works and your insulin levels are usually affected by you weight
What is the body's response to insulin?
The purpose of the drug insulin is to lower the body's glucose level, which is too high or insulin would not be given. The glucose level must be checked constantly until it is down to acceptable number.
