Insulin resistance (syndrome X, or dysmetabolic syndrome) is a condition in what the body responds poorly to insulin.
It could be caused by inherited factors that might affect the insulin receptors, glucose transport, or signalling mechanism, could be brought on by inappropriate lifestyle, (inactivity, diet), by certain medications, medical conditions, or even by the process of aging.
Symptoms, signs, and indications are so extensive that clinical tests are usually used with conjunction of the physical indications to diagnose it. Treatment consists of necessary lifestyle changes (if applicable), medication (be sure to be aware of the common or possible side effects), and monitoring the progress.
What else can I help you with?
What term best describes a failure of the body's cells to respond to secretion of insulin?
insulin resistance
What term best describes a failure of the body cells to respond to secreation of insulin?
Type one diabetes
Is insulin production be high for a person with obesity?
Yes, individuals with obesity often have higher levels of insulin production due to insulin resistance. In this condition, the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin, prompting the pancreas to produce more of it to help regulate blood sugar levels. Over time, this can lead to elevated insulin levels in the bloodstream, contributing to further metabolic complications.
When your body destroys the pancreatic cells that produce insulin it leads to a condition?
Type 1 diabetes. This autoimmune condition causes the immune system to mistakenly attack and destroy insulin-producing beta cells in the pancreas, leading to a deficiency of insulin in the body and resulting in high blood sugar levels that require management through insulin therapy.
What food contain insulin?
No food contains insulin. Insulin is an hormone that is produced within the body. Diabetics that need to take insulin for their condition have to take it via injection.
Elevated insulin and blood sugar levels?
Elevated insulin and blood sugar levels often indicate insulin resistance, a condition where the body's cells do not respond effectively to insulin. This can lead to type 2 diabetes, as the pancreas produces more insulin to compensate, resulting in higher blood sugar levels. Factors contributing to this condition include obesity, physical inactivity, and a diet high in refined carbohydrates. Managing these levels typically involves lifestyle changes, such as improved diet and increased exercise.
Describe diabetes mellitus type 2 in your own words?
Type 2 diabetes is when the body cells do not respond appropriately when insulin is present. Also can be explained as insulin resistant or insulin dificient.
Is a condition when the body produces too much insulin even when they have not eaten?
Fasting hypoglycemia
Can bears get diabetes?
Any animal with pancreatic damage can get diabetes. The pancreas develops natural insulin to help convert fat and sugar in the body and blood (respectively) properly. If the pancreas fails, a boosting drug may be needed. If it fails completely, artificial insulin is required. I hope this bear you speak of is tame. I can't see it agreeing to taking insulin by any means voluntarily. Unless you can shoot it with an insulin dart...
What is the condition in which the pancreas does not produce and or utilize enough insulin to meet the body's needs?
Well diabetes, but another condition is pancreanitis
How does the body respond to a increase in the blood sugar concentration?
The pancreas, it releases insulin.
What is the definition of diabetes mellitus?
Diabetes mellitus is a chronic condition characterized by elevated blood sugar levels resulting from either inadequate insulin production or the body's inability to respond effectively to insulin. This can lead to various complications affecting multiple organ systems if left uncontrolled. Proper management often involves lifestyle modifications, medication, and monitoring blood sugar levels.
