When insulin is released, it facilitates the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into the body's cells, particularly muscle and fat cells, where it can be used for energy or stored as glycogen. This process helps to lower blood sugar levels after eating. Additionally, insulin promotes the storage of fats and proteins, playing a crucial role in overall metabolism and energy balance. Therefore, insulin is essential for regulating blood sugar and maintaining metabolic health.

How can genetic technology allow us to create human insulin using bacteria?

We are able to "splice" genes from one organism into the DNA of another to give it traits we want. In this case, we put the gene for insulin into the DNA of a bacterium, which causes it to produce insulin, which we can use.

What is the use for an insulin syringe?

The insulin syringe is marked in units of insulin. In the US most (I don't know if there is any other still distributed in US) insulin is U-100. U-100 will have 100 units per mL.So if you take 50 units of U-100 insulin, you are taking 1/2 mL. The syringe makes iteasy to take the number of units you need, with the needle made so the insulin won't clog in it, yet glide in easily into the skin. The insulin syringe is made to deliver the insulin dose just under the skin (subcutaneous) NOT into the muscle.


Does chocolate make us fat?

It certainly contributes to the problem if you eat too much. It is probably the sugar in chocolate that hurts us more than the fat in chocolate. Sugar causes the insulin levels to rise, and then the insulin gets busy story excess blood sugar as fat. Eat less sweet and higher cocoa chocolate. It is delicious but a little less likely to cause a binge; at least that's true for me.
