| Consumption of Food with Carbohydrate does what? | -Glucose gets added into the Blood via the Small Intestine |
| How can Glucose go, without use of Hormones | -Metabolism of Cells [Some]
-Exercising [Lots] |
| How can Glucose be Stored? Where? | -Glucose can be made as Glycogen in the Liver
-Stores are full = Glucose becomes Fat/Lipid in Tissues |
| Which gland controls the Blood Sugar Level? | -Pancreases can monitor this |
| What does Insulin do?
What does Glucagon do? | -Insulin: Hormone made by the Pancreas
-This simply Removes Glucose from the Body [Turns Glucose to Glycogen]
-Glucagon: Hormone made by the Pancreas
-This simply Adds Glucose to the Body [Turns Glycogen to Glucose] |
| Explain what happens when the Blood has too much Sugar | -Pancreas notices this, and gives Insulin into the Blood stream
-Nothing happens for a bit, both Insulin and High Concentration of Glucose flows on until it either hits Muscles or the Liver
-The Liver, has the Glucose here being made into Glycogen [Stored] This is done by the Insulin
-The Result is that the Blood Sugar level Decreases |
| Explain what happens when the Blood has too Little Sugar | -Pancreas notice this, and gives Glucagon to the Blood stream
-Nothing happens for a bit, both Glucagon and the Low Concentration of Glucose flows until it hits the Liver
-The Liver, has the Glycogen stored there being broken down into Glucose. This is done by the Glucagon [Hormone]
-The Result is that the Blood Sugar level Increases |
| Why is it bad for a high Sugar Concentration | -Weight gain
-Damages the Immune System |
| What is Diabetes? | -This is simply a Condition that makes it Hard to control your Blood Sugar Level |
| Explain Type 1 Diabetes | -This type has the Pancreas not making any, or just Some Insulin. This can lead to Death if not treated right
-People with this type needs Insulin Therapy, which is simply Injections of Insulin x times of the Day
-These Injections ensure that the Glucose level down, so that it will never bee to high
-Amount of Insulin a Person needs can be factored to Exercise and Diet
-People with this type should also be limited intake of Simple Carbohydrates as it can rapidly increase Blood Sugar Level |
| Explain Type 2 Diabetes | -This type is simply the Body is Immune to Insulin. It cant respond affectively
-This can lead to a Dangerous Level of Sugar = Death
-Overweightness can increase chance of this Type, as Obesity plays in it
-This type can be managed by Healthy Diet, Exercising and trying to Lose Weight
-Drugs can also be taken, that can improve Body's Response to Insulin |
