Question
Chapter 19, Problem 43RA
Summary Introduction
To review:
The percentage of the normal two-hour level of blood glucose in type II diabetes in two hours following glucose ingestion.
Introduction:
The blood glucose levels are regulated by insulin and glucagon hormones secreted by the pancreatic cells. Insulin regulates the increased blood glucose levels whereas glucagon raises the low blood glucose levels. High blood glucose levels results in a severe condition known as diabetes, which affects the functioning of different processes of the body.

- The hormones insulin and glucagon play an important role in the regulation of plasma glucose. b) People with Type II diabetes mellitus can manage their condition (maintain adequate glycaemic control) through use of oral hypoglycaemic drugs. Provide a rationale for how two hypoglycaemic drugs, with different mechanisms of action, can both work to lower blood glucose levels in Type II diabetes.arrow_forwardDiscuss the differences between type 1 and type 2 diabetes and explain the reasons for the sign/symptoms seen in diabetes. ANSWER SHOULD INCLUDE: Type 1 - causes ,incidence Type 2 - cause, incidence Lack of insulin to blood glucose levels rise ( hyperglycaemia e.g. 20mmol/or more); glucose can not move into cells to provide energy for metabolic reactions. Link to symptoms, e.g. tiredness, hunger. Glucose excreted in urine ( exceeds renal threshold). Link to polyuria,thirst,dehydration - protein broken down to form more glucose (gluconeogenesis): provides energy to cells. -Link Fats broken down to FFA and glycerol for glucose production (gluconeogenesis).
