How many syllables are in the word insulin?
The word insulin has three syllables. (in-su-lin)
How are bacteria used to treat people with diabetes?
bacteria itself is not the treatment. we use the bacteria to produce insulin, we do so by inserting the gene into their plasmids and trigger them to produce the insulin. the insulin is extracted and used.
How do you convert units to cc?
It depends on the type of insulin being used: For 100U insulin, 1 unit = 1/100 or 0.01 cc. For 40U insulin, 1 unit = 1/40 or 0.025 cc.
What are the names of regular insulin?
There are several different names for regular insulin, depending on the maker. The one constant is that all of them contain the letter "R" for "regular," in their name. For instance, one maker of insulin called all their insulins Novolin. The "regular" insulin is "Novolin R," their NPH is called "Novolin N," etc.
How many cc does a insulen needle hold?
I think that you are referring to the insulin syringe,not the needle. The standard insulin syringe holds one cc, divided into 100ths, which is equal to one UNIT of insulin. It is imperative that you are using a U100 insulin solution with a U100 syringe. If you don't, the incorrect dosage could be catastrophic. There are some smaller insulin syringes that only hold 0.5 cc (making them half the size of the 1cc). They are STILL marked properly for U100 insulin even though they are smaller in size. Hope that this helps!!clkfrau1@aol.com
What is a normal level of glucose in a fasting blood sugar test used to diagnose insulin resistance?
A normal level should be below 100 mg/dL, 100 to 125 mg/dL is evidence of insulin resistance (prediabetic), 126 mg/dL is considered diabetic.
How Insulin resistance is?
The two most common screening tests are the fasting blood sugar test and glucose tolerance test.
How is insulin resistance diagnosed?
The two most common screening tests are the fasting blood sugar test and glucose tolerance test.
Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
What is the constellation of symptoms called metabolic syndrome or insulin resistance syndrome linked to insulin resistance?
The symptoms are excess weight around the waistline, high levels of serum triglycerides, low levels of HDL (good cholesterol), high blood pressure, high fasting blood glucose levels.
Describe a glucose tolerance test used to diagnose insulin resistance?
After 10 to 16 hours of drinking nothing but water blood is drawn. Then a glucose drink (75 grams glucose) is taken and blood drawn again at the half hour and every 6 hours.
Insulin deficiency or resistance leads to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis?
Diabetes Mellitus
How can insulin resistance be prevented?
Genetic factors contributing to insulin resistance cannot be changed as of the early 2000s.
Should insulin be taken when fasting for blood test?
doody
What are the symptoms of mild insulin resistance?
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.
What is the body chemistry associated with insulin resistance?
High blood sugar from food stimulates the pancreas to secrete insulin into the blood. However, in insulin resistance, the insulin is secreted but is only partially absorbed by the tissues.
How will fat stop insulin from functioning?
obesity increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces the effectiveness of insulin.
