Science in medicine How does blood glucose control with insulin save lives in intensive care ?Berghe, Greet Van Den
There remains uncertainty concerning the use of continuous blood glucose monitoring (CBGM) systems in the assessment and management of diabetes control. We examined 42 consecutive patients who attended a district hospital over a two-year period and had CBGM performed to determine if the data obtaine...
High Blood Sugar What are the dangers of high blood sugar? Glucose is precious fuel for all the cells in your body when it's present at normal levels. But it can behave like a slow-acting poison. High sugar levels slowly make cells in your pancreas less able to make insulin. The organ...

Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas, an endocrine organ. The signal for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose. Which means more the glucose in blood, more insulin will be secreted. Although there is always a low level of insulin ...
when blood glucose levels are low, the secretion of insulin is inhibited. If insulin is not functioning properly, or can no longer be produced the result is a condition called diabetes. Diabetes comes in 2 forms, Type I and Type II; type I is a congenital condition while type II is acqu...
LPS–TLR4 binding not only triggers inflammatory conditions, but also inhibits insulin-stimulated IRS1 phosphorylation and impairs glucose homeostasis control [61]. To confirm the LPS–TLR4 role in insulin resistance, recent evidence has revealed that NLRP3 activation represents an essential mechanism ...

When blood glucose rises, GLUT2 transporters carry glucose into the β cells, where it is immediately converted to glucose 6-phosphate by glucokinase and enters glycolysis. B. With the higher rate of glucose catabolism, 2 [ATP] increases, causing the closing of ATP-gated K + channels in th...
“1800 rule.” If you take 30 units daily of the short-acting insulin, divide that into 1800. The result is 60, which means that you have an insulin sensitivity level of 1:60. One unit of short-acting insulin will decrease the amount of sugar in your blood by about 60 milligrams per...
