- While insulin levels are primarily regulated by blood glucose, other factors are also able to influence insulin levels. Briefly describe the major positive and negative factors.arrow_forwardDescribe the symptoms of insulin-dependent and non-insulin-dependent diabetes mellitus and explain how these conditions are produced.arrow_forwardA 7-year-old boy is brought to the emergency department by his grandmother. She informs the staff that she is her grandson's guardian and that he is breathing heavily and smells funny. Laboratory tests confirm that the child is in DKA. During DKA, insulin counter-regulatory hormones, such as catecholamines and cortisol, increase. Profound insulin deficiency results in: 1. Decreased fat mobilization 2. Activation of glucose forming pathways in the liver 3. Increased glucose uptake 4. Activation of bicarbonate bufferingarrow_forward
- (human physiology) 1) Match the insulin types (1-3) with the plots (A-C)? Explain? 2) Oral administration (e.g. in the form of pills) of insulin and subcutaneous administration, which is more effective? Why? 3) Why are elderly, sedentary, obese and regular smokers at high risk of diabetes?arrow_forwardThe hormones insulin and glucagon play an important role in the regulation of plasma glucose. b) People with Type II diabetes mellitus can manage their condition (maintain adequate glycaemic control) through use of oral hypoglycaemic drugs. Provide a rationale for how two hypoglycaemic drugs, with different mechanisms of action, can both work to lower blood glucose levels in Type II diabetes.arrow_forwardDescribe how young people could avoid diabetes.

- A client with type 1 diabetes has been admitted to the hospital for orthopedic surgery and the care team anticipates some disruptions to the client's blood glucose levels in the days following surgery. Which insulin regimen is most likely to achieve adequate glycemic control?arrow_forwardA patient diagnosed with type 2 diabetes mellitus is admitted to the medical unit with pneumonia. The patient's oral antidiabetic medication has been discontinued and the patient is now receiving insulin for glucose control. Which of the following statements best explains the rationale for this change in medication? acute illness like pneumonia will cause increased insulin resistance b. stress-related states such as infections increase risk of hyperglycaemia c. insulin administration will help prevent hypoglycaemia during the illness d. infection has compromised beta cell function so the patient will need insulin from now onarrow_forwardExplain why the increase in insulin secretion in response toparasympathetic stimulation and gastrointestinal hormones is consistentwith the maintenance of blood glucose levels in the blood.arrow_forward
- What happens to the insulin-secreting capacity of a type 2 diabetic placed on insulin therapy earlier than recommended? Can the external supply of insulin improve the functional capacity of the insulin-secreting cells, to some extent by providing some rest to these cells? Is inhaled insulin a suitable substitute for injectable insulin? Is there, or will there soon be, insulin in the form of a tablet?arrow_forwardList 2 metabolic characteristics of type 1 diabetes and explain how they are linked to insulin deficiency.arrow_forwardDiscuss the aetiology and pathogenesis of type 2 diabetes mellitus. In your answer, make clear the term ‘insulin resistance’ by providing an example to illustrate your understanding of this occurrence. Determine whether the C-peptide test would be useful in diagnosing type 2 diabetesarrow_forward
