What are the symptoms and treatment options for a regular insulin overdose?
Symptoms of a regular insulin overdose may include confusion, sweating, shaking, rapid heartbeat, and fainting. Treatment options may include consuming sugar or carbohydrates to raise blood sugar levels, seeking medical attention for monitoring and potential administration of glucose or glucagon, and adjusting insulin dosage under medical supervision.
How can one counteract an excess of insulin in the body?
To counteract an excess of insulin in the body, one can adjust their diet to include more complex carbohydrates, fiber, and protein, and limit intake of simple sugars. Regular exercise can also help regulate insulin levels. In severe cases, medical intervention may be necessary.
Suggest why bacteria are chosen to make human insulin?
The insulin gene will be extracted from cells from an animal such as a pig, and placed into the loop of DNA in a microorganism. When the microorganism reproduces, the DNA gene will reproduce with it, and this is repeated again and again and the micro-organsms will produce insulin. Whe a sufficient amount of microorganisms have been grown, the insulin will be extracted and used in medicine
To what degree will lifestyle changes reduce the risk of diabetes associated with insulin resistance?
Lifestyle changes, such as maintaining a healthy weight, engaging in regular physical activity, and following a balanced diet, can significantly reduce the risk of developing diabetes associated with insulin resistance. These changes can help improve insulin sensitivity and lower blood sugar levels, ultimately decreasing the likelihood of developing diabetes. It is recommended to consult with a healthcare provider for personalized guidance on lifestyle modifications to reduce diabetes risk.
What are the most effective methods for preventing and treating a bug infestation, specifically focusing on termites?
The most effective methods for preventing and treating a termite infestation include regular inspections, maintaining proper ventilation and moisture control in your home, using termite-resistant materials during construction, applying chemical treatments like liquid termiticides or bait systems, and seeking professional help if an infestation is suspected.
What type insulin is used for diabetic ketoacidosis?
Regular Insulin (Humulin R)
How is diabetic ketoacidosis treated?
regular monitoring of blood glucose, administration of insulin, and lifestyle maintenance. Glucose monitoring is especially important during periods of stress, infection, and trauma when glucose concentrations typically increase
You are diabetic ll and have stopped taking your insulin now gettin psons in your tummy and liver what else can you do?
If you are experiencing pain in your abdomen and liver after stopping insulin, it's crucial to seek medical attention immediately. Managing diabetes without insulin can lead to serious complications, including hyperglycemia and diabetic ketoacidosis. Additionally, consider consulting a healthcare professional about alternative diabetes management strategies, such as dietary changes, oral medications, or other insulin options. Regular monitoring of blood sugar levels is also essential for your health.
What goes wrong in the body of a diabetic?
A diabetic cannot produce insulin - which is a natural chemical that breaks down sugars in food. The solution is to inject a synthetic form of insulin at regular intervals to maintain the body's natural balance.
What is mellitus diabetes type one?
Diabetes Type 1 is a severe form of diabetes due to absence of circulating insulin due to failure of production of insulin from the pancreas. It can lead to ketoacidosis and coma and requires regular medical attention
What classification of acidosis is diabetic ketoacidosis?
When you don't have enough insulin in your body, your body starves for energy (which normally comes from glucose, and is permitted into the cells by insulin.) In response, fat is converted by the liver into Acetoacetate and Beta-hydroxybutyric acid, known as ketone bodies. These supply energy to the body in emergencies.Normally this condition would be temporary and normal insulin production would put a quick stop to it. But in an insulin-dependent diabetic, that insulin doesn't arrive and so the ketone bodies begin building up in the blood and urine. Ketone bodies are acidic and so they affect the blood's pH balance.The body must maintain a pH balance of 7-7.25. 7 is neutral but anything lower causes an acidotic situation, meaning the blood turns acidic. Once that happens, things get worse.Symptoms include stomach tenderness, lethargy, fever, vomiting, and ketone-smelling breath. (Breath may smell like nail-polish remover, pear drops, or fruit.)An advanced symptom is Kussmaul's respirations: Characterized by short,deep, and rapid breathing. This is the mechanism the body uses in an attempt to regulate the bodys' pH balance. The body is trying to "blow out " the CO2 or carbon dioxide that has accumulated.In addition, the body continues calling out for energy that it can't get due to missing insulin, so more glucose is dumped into the blood leading to severe hyperglycemia. More ketone bodies are still being produced too. The hyperglycemia and acidosis each cause the kidneys to flush out water, leading to severe dehydration. The dehydration leads in turn to worse acidosis and hyperglycemia (since the blood is more concentrated).By now the blood's electrolytes (Potassium especially) are thrown out of balance and things get really bad. At this point treatment becomes tricky and survival rate is about 90% only if full emergency hospital treatment is at hand.If you are diabetic and think you have diabetic ketoacidosis, then1. Drink a lot of water right now.2. Take some of your regular insulin. If you have a slow-acting and a fast-acting insulin for mealtimes, take the fast one. If you have oral diabetic medications, don't take those.3. Get an ambulance now, and mention diabetic ketoacidosis emergency on the phone.More details at the Wikipedia article linked below.Dehydration and shortage of insulin and High ketone levels together over a short period of time can cause DKA. If you start vomiting and you have many of the other symptoms you are most likely going or are in DKA.Symptoms include: Acetone or fruity smelling-breath, dehydration, stomachache, fever, possible vomiting, lethargy, high and rising blood sugar, hyperventilating (see Kussmaul breathing). If you have ketone strips for your urine, you will see a high ketone level.If you think you are in DKA:1. Drink as much water as you can2. Take some of your fastest-acting insulin3. Call an ambulance and say you think you are in DKA.You mean "Diabetic Ketoacidosis", check for it on Google. There's no such thing as diabetic keratosis.
Benefits of diabetic having pancreas transplant?
They would be able to make their own insulin which means they no longer will have to control their diet or give themselves regular injections.
When is regular insulin used?
That depends on how it's given (intramuscularly, sub-cutaneously, or intravenously?), the species it's given to (cat? dog? human?), and, of course, the patient's own metabolism. This is definitely a question you should ask your doctor.
What is the relationship between fat and insulin?
Yes, weight gain can result from the use of insulin, but it is nothing that regular exercise cannot negate. On the brighter side, your reduced sugar intake (due to a diabetic diet) may counteract this on it's own. Regardless of that, exercise is still a good idea.
Can NPH and Regular insulin be mixed?
yes...because regular insulin and Isophane Insulin(NPH) is a human-made form of insulin. Insulin is a hormone produced naturally by pancreas
When mixing regular and nph insulin which do you draw up first?
Draw up the regular insulin first. You always want to go from clear to cloudy. Also, you do not want the NPH insulin mixing into the regular insulin, therefore the regular insulin should be drawn up before the NPH (long-acting) insulin.
What is the only insulin that can be given intravenously?
Regular insulin is the only insulin that can be given by IV
