How many syllables are in the word insulin?
The word insulin has three syllables. (in-su-lin)
Why would you do a 2 hour postprandial test?
A 2-hour postprandial test is performed to evaluate how the body responds to glucose after a meal, helping to diagnose conditions like diabetes or insulin resistance. By measuring blood sugar levels two hours after eating, healthcare providers can assess how effectively the body processes carbohydrates. This test can provide valuable insights into an individual's metabolic health and guide treatment decisions. It is particularly useful for monitoring individuals at risk for developing diabetes or for those already diagnosed.
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.
What is a normal level of glucose in a fasting blood sugar test used to diagnose insulin resistance?
A normal fasting glucose level is typically under 100 mg/dL. Levels between 100-125 mg/dL indicate prediabetes, while levels higher than 126 mg/dL may suggest diabetes. Insulin resistance can be assessed by measuring fasting insulin levels or with a glucose tolerance test.
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
Should insulin be taken when fasting for blood test?
doody
How can insulin resistance be prevented?
Genetic factors contributing to insulin resistance cannot be changed as of the early 2000s.
What term best describes a failure of the body cells to respond to secreation of insulin?
Type one diabetes
What are the symptoms of mild insulin resistance?
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.
How will fat stop insulin from functioning?
obesity increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces the effectiveness of insulin.
