hormones that control blood glucose level
hormones and
glucagon
glucose
in the body can be added by
eating
carbohydrates
glucose can be removed by
metabolism
of cells and vigorous
excercise
when glucose is too high
insulin is secreted by the pancreas
glucose moves from
blood
into
liver
and
muscle cells
insulin makes liver turn glucose into
glycogen
reducing
blood glucose levels
when glucose is too low
glucagon
is secreted by
pancreas
liver turns
glycogen
into
glucose
glucose is released into blood by
liver
increasing
blood glucose levels
diabetes
affects your ability to control
blood sugar
type 1 diabetes
-pancreas produces little to no insulin
-glucose can rise to a level which can kill
-insulin
therapy
is needed and these injections remove glucose once food is digested the amount of insulin depends on diet and exercise
-carbohydrates
need to be controlled and regular
exercise
is needed
type 2 diabetes
-resistance to insulin
-glucose can rise to a dangerous level
-being
overweight
increases your chance as
obesity
is a risk factor
-carbohydrates need to be controlled
features and symptoms of type 1
-no cure
-thirst
-tiredness
-weightless
-often need to go
toilet
-under 40
features and symptoms of type
2
history
of it in your family
overweight
usually over
40
