What else can I help you with?
Does insulin raise blood sugar?
No. Insulin helps you REGULATE your blood sugar levels. BUT it depends on how you use it. If you give to little insulin you might go high. Yet if you give to much insulin your blood sugar might go low.
What to do when blood sugar suddenly drops?
Either a high cellular sensitivity to insulin or too much insulin in the blood.
How insulin keep you healthy?
insulin is a hormone that controls your blood sugar levels. without insulin, your blood sugar levels could be too high or too low.
Why does the body release insulin after a meal high in carbohydrates?
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.
Does lack of insulin result in high blood sugar levels?
Yes, insulin is responsible for regulating blood sugar levels by allowing cells to take in glucose for energy. Without enough insulin, the body cannot properly control blood sugar levels, leading to high blood sugar levels, known as hyperglycemia.
Is secreted in response to high blood sugar levels?
insulin
When blood sugar is high the pancreas produces what hormone?
Insulin
Why would insulin not bring down a high sugar reading?
It depends on the cause of the high blood sugar. If the patient has type II diabetes, their blood sugar may remain high after an insulin injection because their cells are insulin resistant. Often, these patients will be placed on a drug that increases insulin sensitivity, such as Metformin.
An example of the maintenance of homeostasis in humans is the action of glucagon and insulin in regulating the?
An example of the maintenance of homeostasis in humans is the action of glucagon and insulin in regulating blood sugar levels. When blood sugar levels are high, insulin is released to help cells take up glucose for energy. Conversely, when blood sugar levels are low, glucagon is released to stimulate the liver to release stored glucose into the blood.
Which hormone is normally secreted in response to high blood sugar?
Insulin.
What is the treatment for high blood sugar levels in diabetic patients?
Insulin
Can low blood sugars lead to diabetes?
High insulin levels occur in an attempt to counter high levels of sugar. Type II diabetes is caused by insulin receptors on cells not having much of a response to insulin. Hence, more insulin is released in an attempt to lower the blood sugar levels. This is why high insulin levels are a symptom of Type II diabetes, not a cause.
