Type II diabetes affects the way the body uses sugar (glucose) for energy. It prevents the body from using insulin properly and, if left untreated, can lead to a significant increase in blood sugar. Over time, type II diabetes can cause serious damage to the body, especially to the nerves...
Interval training is also good for you when you're trying to reverse diabetes and insulin resistance. It improves your metabolism and mitochondrial function and at the same time increase the efficiency of calorie burning. That means, you'll be able to burn more calories and energy even when yo...
How does cell signaling cause diabetes? How do glucagon and insulin differ? What is the structure and function of insulin? What effect does insulin have on the body? How does insulin help maintain homeostasis? How does insulin regulate glucose uptake by myocytes and adipocytes? How does diabetes...
Islet of Langerhans with beta cell-secreting insulin (in red) and alpha cell-secreting glucagon (in green). Credit: CNIO It has recently been described that infection by some enteroviruses—a genus of viruses that commonly cause diseases of varying severity—could potentially trigger diabetes, alt...
Insulin therapy need not be permanent. In some cases, temporary worsening of disease is the result of glucose toxicity and insulin can be discontinued or doses reduced when disease severity subsides. On the other hand, beta-cell failure is progressive, and with long duration of diabetes, ...
Type 2 (also called adult-onset diabetes or non-insulin-dependent diabetes) occurs when the body does not respond or can't use its own insulin (insulin resistance). Type 2 occurs in 90 percent to 95 percent of diabetics and usually occurs in adults over the age of 40, most often between...
The two types of diabetes usually come with the same type of warning indicators. These signs include the following: 1. Fatigue and hunger Your body is equipped to convert the food you consume to glucose which your cells use in the form of energy. However, your cells require insulin to use...
Why does insulin cause low potassium? Exogenous insulin caninduce mild hypokalemia because it promotes the entry of K+into skeletal muscles and hepatic cellsby increasing the activity of the Na+-K+-ATPase pump[39]. The increased secretion of epinephrine due to insulin-induced hypoglycemia may also...
a condition that leads to type 2 diabetes. Your pancreas makes the hormone insulin to help cells turn blood sugar into energy. If your cells don't respond to the insulin, you have insulin resistance. If you're overweight, your body makes more TNF, which also leads to insulin resistance. ...
