What causes high blood sugar diabetes type 2?
I'm confused if it a. b. insulin deficiency Hyperinsulinemia and insulin resistance. I think it hypoinsulinemia and insulin resistance, but this is not an option. Can someone explain whether please, but why would you take more insulin if you have too much blood and the problem is that you are resistant. I try Just understand, do you doubt it.
insufficient production of insulin (either absolutely or relative to the body needs), production of insulin defective (which is rare), or the inability of cells to use insulin properly and efficiently leads to hyperglycemia and diabetes. This latter condition affects most cells of muscle and adipose tissue, and results in a condition called insulin resistance. This is the main problem of type 2 diabetes. The absolute lack of insulin, usually secondary to a destructive process affecting beta cells producing insulin in the pancreas, is the main disease of type 1 diabetes. In type 2 diabetes, there is also a steady decline beta cells that adds to the process of high blood glucose. Essentially, if someone is insulin resistant, the body can, in some able to increase insulin production and overcome the resistance level. After time, if production decreases and insulin can be released as vigorously, hyperglycemia develops. Glucose is a simple sugar in food. Glucose is an essential nutrient that provides energy for the proper functioning of body cells. Carbohydrates are broken down in the small intestine and the glucose in digested food are then absorbed by intestinal cells into the bloodstream and is transported by blood to every cell in the body where it is used. However, glucose can not enter the cells alone and needs insulin to facilitate its transport into cells. Without insulin, cells become starved of energy glucose despite the presence of glucose in the blood in abundance. In some types of diabetes, the inability of cells to use glucose gives rise to the ironic situation of "starvation in the midst of plenty." Abundance, glucose is not used unnecessarily excreted in urine. Insulin is a hormone that is produced by specialized cells (beta cells) of the pancreas. (The pancreas is an organ located deep in the abdomen behind the stomach.) In addition to help glucose enter the cells, insulin is also important to regulate the level of glucose in the blood. After a meal, blood sugar level up. In response to blood glucose rises, the pancreas releases more insulin in normal the blood to help glucose enter cells and decrease the blood sugar after a meal. When blood sugar is low, the release of insulin the pancreas is denied. It is important to note that even fasting is a small constant release of insulin that fluctuates a bit, and helps maintain a stable blood sugar during fasting. In normal individuals, such a control system can keep blood sugar in a tightly controlled range. As noted above, patients with diabetes, insulin is either absent, relatively insufficient for the needs of the organization, or not used properly by the body. All these factors lead to high levels of glucose in the blood (hyperglycemia). Tin
