Too little insulin can lead to high blood sugar levels, a condition known as hyperglycemia. This can result in symptoms such as increased thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and blurred vision. In the long term, insufficient insulin can contribute to the development of Diabetes, particularly type 1 diabetes, where the body fails to produce adequate insulin. Ultimately, chronic hyperglycemia can lead to serious complications affecting the heart, kidneys, and nerves.

How to avoid or treat a hyperglycemia?

Hyperglycemia is caused by too much carbohydrates, not enough insulin or periods of illness and stress. You can avoid it by balancing your carb to insulin ratio, and treat it with insulin.


Is diabetes an example of hypersecretion hyposecretion or receptor problem?

Diabetes mellitus is not caused by a hypersecretion of insulin. A person with diabetes either produces too little insulin, or a normal amount of insulin that is not recognized by other cells in the body. Diabetes is caused by a lack of effective insulin. In type 1 diabetes the pancreatic beta cells are not producing sufficient insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when insulin sensitivity in target cells has decreased, so the insulin is no longer causing glucose uptake.


Is hyperglycemia a state of total deficient pituitary gland activity?

No, hyperglycemia is high blood sugar levels. It is not caused by deficient pituitary gland activity, but can be associated with conditions such as diabetes where the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively to lower blood sugar levels.


What can Diabetes cause?

Insulin reaction can be caused by?

An insulin reaction, also known as hypoglycemia, can be caused by taking too much insulin, skipping meals or snacks, exercising more than usual, drinking alcohol without eating, or experiencing stress or illness. Symptoms can include feeling shaky, dizzy, confused, sweating, or having a rapid heartbeat. It is important to treat hypoglycemia promptly with fast-acting carbohydrates like glucose tablets or juice.


Why does the amount of insulin injected need to be controlled?

Monitoring of blood glucose levels should be done on a regular basis. The insulin amount should be adjusted according to the results of the testing Too much insulin will result in hypoglycemia Too little will result in hyperglycemia. Both conditions are potentially fatal.


What sudden illness results from too much or too little sugar in the person's blood?

Hypoglycemia (from too little sugar or too much insulin) is an emergency causing unconsciousness, coma, brain damage and death. It can usually be treated at home with sugar and food. Diabetic Ketoacidosis (from too little insulin) is an emergency causing lethargy, dehydration, fever, blood acidity, breathing trouble, coma, and death. Once advanced, it can only be treated in a hospital using specific fluids, insulin, and monitoring. It's not caused by too much sugar in the blood though you will generally see that at the same time. Hyperglycemia (too much sugar in the blood) is deadly in the long term, causing blindness, gangrene in limbs, heart and kidney disease, but it's not a "sudden illness" since it takes months or years to cause the worst side effects.
