What happens to the insulin-secreting capacity of a type 2 diabetic
placed on insulin therapy earlier than recommended? Can the external
supply of insulin improve the functional capacity of the insulin-secreting
cells, to some extent by providing some rest to these cells? Is inhaled insulin a suitable substitute for injectable insulin?
Is there, or will there soon be, insulin in the form of a tablet?
What kind of bioreactor should be designed for insulin production?
A woman affected by type I (insulin-dependent) diabetes miscalculates and injects herself with too much insulin. She soon begins to feel confused and sluggish. She calls for medical assistance and injects herself with the glucagon her doctor prescribed for such an emergency. When an ambulance arrives, she is given dextrose ( a sugar) intravenously. How did the excess insulin cause her symptoms. How did the glucagon injection and the intravenous sugar help reverse them?
