What else can I help you with?
What is the scientific name for the organisms that causes diabetes?
Diabetes is not caused by an infectious organism; it is caused by a failure of the human body to secrete the correct quantities of an enzyme called insulin, which is produced in the pancreas, and more specifically, in the sections of the pancreas that are called the Isles of Langerhans.
What is the name of the hormone produced by the pancreas which creates diabetes?
homeostasis
What organs do type 2 diabetes affect?
Diabetes Mellitus affects the pancreas and Diabetes Insipidus affects the kidneys. Diabetes Mellitus is a condition that causes the pancreas to produce little or no insulin. Insulin is essential to the blood as it breaks down all the unwanted sugar in the bloodstream and can be naturally produced by the pancreas or artificially produced by doctors and scientists. I am sorry as i know very little about Diabetes Insipidus. i hope i have satisfied your request. :)
What organ of the digestive system is associated with diabetes?
The pancreas is the organ associated with diabetes in the digestive system. It plays a key role in regulating blood sugar levels by producing insulin. In people with diabetes, the pancreas either produces insufficient insulin (Type 1 diabetes) or the body becomes resistant to the insulin produced (Type 2 diabetes).
Can diabetes be cured with a organ transplant?
Yes it can. There are two types of diabetes, insulin dependant and non insulin dependant. Diabetes ends up affecting the kidney and eventually a kidney transplant will be required. Because diabetes is caused by the insulin production, in the insulin dependant diabetes, often a pancreas and kidney transplant will take place. The pancreas is where the insulin is produced. By replacing the pancreas, insulin production becomes normal and diabetes is cured.
Thyroid does it have any relationship with diabetes?
No, the thyroid gland is not related to diabetes. Diabetes is a disease relating to the production of the hormone insulin. Insulin is produced by the pancreas (and specifically, by parts of the pancreas known as the Isles of Langerhans), not by the thyroid gland, which produces a hormone called thyroxin.
Why is insulin the right treatment for diabetes?
if someone has diabetes, that means that their pancreas has stopped working. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas, and if his/her pancreas has stopped working than that is what they need. They make the fake Insulin using Insulin from the dog. They only use a certain dog, but I do not know which type, sorry.
What is type 3 diabetes and how it different from types 1 & 2?
Diabetes is a disease caused by low insulin levels. Type 1 & 2 diabetes deal with insulin produced in the pancreas. Within the past decade, researchers have discovered insulin is also produced in the brain. Type 3 diabetes corresponds with low levels of insulin produced in the brain.
What is Sulfonylurea used for?
Sulfonylurea is one of the drugs that is used to treat type 2 diabetes. It works by increasing the insulin that is produced from the pancreas so helps to reduce the effects of the diabetes on the body.
What occurs in the body with type II diabetes?
In Type II diabetes, the pancreas may produce enough insulin, however, cells have become resistant to the insulin produced and it may not work as effectively
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of what?
Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. In diabetes, this causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high.
What hormone deficiency causes diabetes mellitus?
Type 1 diabetes is caused by a deficiency of insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas that regulates blood sugar levels. This results in high blood sugar levels, leading to the symptoms of diabetes mellitus.
