Insulin
Insulin is a hormone, produced by the pancreas. It regulates the metabolism of carbohydrates, among other things. It is produced in response to an increase in blood glucose concentration after eating a meal.
Glucose is a simple sugar, obtained by the persistence of complex carbohydrates (sugars), which are one of the components of food. Glucose is absorbed and transported with the blood into the body. However, in order for it to enter the cell, insulin is needed.
Insulin can be supplemented if deficient, but always under the supervision of a doctor.
Blood insulin levels
In the body, insulin has numerous important functions. One of them is to regulate the rate at which glucose is consumed by human tissues, insulin lowers blood glucose levels. Another function of this hormone is to promote the conversion of carbohydrates into fats and the synthesis of proteins.
Deficiencies or deficiencies of insulin can lead to the development of type II diabetes.
Indications for testing insulin levels?
Insulin concentration measurement is performed:
- to assess the body's insulin sensitivity and confirm insulin resistance,
- in the diagnosis of hypoglycemia (hypoglycemia), or low blood glucose levels;
- helpfully in the diagnosis of insulinoma (a tumor arising from pancreatic islet cells);
Check the next tab to see who is at high risk for insulin resistance.
