2.1 what is diabetes By Christian Noelker

What is diabetes? Diabetes is too much sugar in the blood cause the cells cant take it in

Type 1 Type 1 diabetes is the metabolic disease where the body's inability to produce the hormone insulin which leads to elevated levels of glucose in the blood.

Type 2 In type 2 your body rejects the insulin effects or doesn’t produce enough to keep homeostais

How is glucose tolerance testing used to diagnose diabetes? Glucose tolerance testing is used to diagnose diabetes by seeing if your cells pick up the glucose

How does the development of Type 1 and Type 2 diabetes relate to how the body produces and uses insulin? Type 1 and type 2 relate to how the body produces insulin because they both have to do with the body not making insulin or not picking up the glucose

What is the relationship between insulin and glucose? Glucose is a simple sugar that powers your body's cells while insulin lets the glucose into a cell

How does insulin assist with the movement of glucose into body cells? Insulin signals the glut 4 transporter to bring the glucose through the cell wall and into the nucleolus

What is homeostasis? Homeostasis is the ability to maintain a stable environment (the human body).

What does feedback refer to in the human body? Feedback refers to keeping your body in constant homeostasis. In a negative feedback loop the output reduces the original stimuli and positive feedback add to the original stimuli

How does the body regulate the level of blood glucose? When blood sugar drops too low, the insulin levels drop and pancreas cells release glucagon, which causes the liver to make stored glycogen back into glucose and release into the blood.
