Which hormone is released from the pancreas when blood glucose is elevated above a normal range?
insulin
Is diabetes mellitus a chronic condition of elevated blood glucose levels?
Hi!! Yes. Diabetes is a chronic condition of elevated blood glucose levels. Diabetes is caused due to Insulin deficiency or Insulin resistance or both. We require insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal. Once you have insulin resistance or deficiency you require anti diabetic medicines or Insulin to keep blood glucose levels normal.
What concentration of glucose causes glycosylation?
Hemoglobin is glycosylated at any concentration, even normal blood sugar levels. This is why there is a "normal" hemoglobin A1c range. The problem comes when there is an elevated blood glucose. The problem is with the elevated blood glucose, not that there is an elevated Hgb A1c. The A1c is only a marker and a way for physicians to measure the average blood glucose over the past 120 days.
What is the normal glucose level in human urine sample?
I'm just wondering the normal count for glucose at my age. I'm a 50 year old woman
Why is it possible to detect between a diabetic and a normal person by testing the urine?
Diabetics may have elevated levels of glucose in their urine due to their body's inability to properly regulate blood sugar levels. Detecting glucose in urine can be a simple and quick way to screen for diabetes. Normal individuals typically do not have glucose in their urine.
What causes the concentration of blood glucose to return to normal?
The concentration of blood glucose returns to normal primarily through the actions of insulin and glucagon, hormones produced by the pancreas. After a meal, insulin is released, facilitating the uptake of glucose by cells for energy or storage as glycogen in the liver and muscles. Conversely, when blood glucose levels drop, glucagon stimulates the liver to release stored glucose back into the bloodstream. This delicate balance between insulin and glucagon helps maintain homeostasis in blood glucose levels.
What is is a glucose?
Normal glucose is 90-110 mg/dl
What are glucose test results?
Glucose test results indicate the amount of sugar (glucose) in the blood. Normal fasting glucose levels are typically between 70-100 mg/dL. Elevated levels may indicate diabetes or pre-diabetes, while low levels may indicate hypoglycemia.
Is borderline diabetes also known as type 2?
No, borderline diabetes is termed prediabetes or impaired glucose tolerance. It indicates that your body, for whatever reason (most commonly insulin resistance or inadequate secretion of insulin) has elevated levels of glucose that does not qualify as "diabetic" levels. This may progress to diabetes in time, or the glucose levels may return to normal.
Explain how the blood sugar gets back to normal from being low?
Your blood sugar will become low once you are fasting, and when that happens the alpha cells of the islets of Langerhans will allow glucogen to be release. Glucogen promotes the conversions of glycogen to glucose, which is released into the blood. As glycogen is converted to glucose in the liver the blood sugar level returns to normal.
What is a normal range of glucose fluctuation?
It is normal for glucose levels to fluctuate a little bit throughout the day. Your glucose levels should increase after you eat then drop down again. It is not normal for your glucose levels to fluctuate widely throughout the day. A normal range is approximately 70-125 mg/dL.
Is 257 glucose reading is normal?
No! 257 is not normal! 100 to90 is normal
