You will have to start testing your blood sugar levels throughout the day and give yourself shots of insulin as necessary to replace what your body is not producing. You will have to change your diet to avoid sugars, simple grains (such as white sliced bread) and alcohol (which converts into sugar when ingested) In order to live a longer and more fruitful life you should closely monitor not only your diet and insulin levels but also your weight. You should make all of your doctor's appointments and get your blood work as directed by your doctor.
If you choose to not take your disease seriously, you will develop other serious medical problems such as blindness, coma and even death.
If you want lower your risk for developing Diabetes you should commit to a lifestyle of limiting your simple sugar intake (the theory being if your pancreas doesn't have to work as hard it will last longer) and increase your fiber intake (fiber slows down the absorption of sugars)

What kind of cell is used to produce human insulin?
Human insulin is not manufactured. The insulin that humans use is derived from animals ie pig its not you can buy it from quicksave or netto
What organs do type 2 diabetes affect?
Diabetes Mellitus affects the pancreas and Diabetes Insipidus affects the kidneys. Diabetes Mellitus is a condition that causes the pancreas to produce little or no insulin. Insulin is essential to the blood as it breaks down all the unwanted sugar in the bloodstream and can be naturally produced by the pancreas or artificially produced by doctors and scientists. I am sorry as i know very little about Diabetes Insipidus. i hope i have satisfied your request. :)
What is insulin made of?
Insulin is a protein hormone made up of two peptide chains, A and B, linked together by disulfide bonds. It is produced in the pancreas by beta cells in response to an increase in blood glucose levels.
When insulin producing cells have been destroyed is it type 1 or type 2 diabetes?
the Answer is type 1 diabetes. why? its because since the insulin producing cell called "beta cell" have been destroyed. hence the pancreas do not produce insulin at all. (1). The pancreas makes little or no insulin. and inability of insulin to circulating in the bloodstream, glucose cannot enter body cells. As a result, glucose remains in the bloodstream. (2). Without insulin in the blood, the liver cannot absorb glucose. Instead, the liver releases some of the glucose it has stored into the bloodstream. and finally (3). Absence of insulin in the blood, body cells cannot accept glucose. Too much glucose builds up in the bloodstream, resulting in the medical problems associated with diabetes.
What causes pituitary gland to stop working?
The pituitary gland may stop working due to factors such as tumors, head trauma, radiation therapy, pituitary apoplexy (sudden bleeding into the pituitary gland), or genetic conditions. These conditions can disrupt hormone production and regulation, leading to pituitary dysfunction.
What causes elevated pancreas enzymes?
First, understand that a hormone is a type of enzyme. Insulin and glucagon are the two hormones in the pancreas. If you have too much glucose in your blood (i.e. eating a lot of carbohydrates like pasta, bread, fruits, milk, cake, and so on) then the hormone insulin will come out. Insulin decreases blood glucose. If you have to little glucose in your blood (i.e. exercising for a while without eating carbohydrates, not eating for days, etc.) then the hormone glucagon will come out. Glucagon increases the supply of glucose in your blood.
What happens in type one of diabetes?
Type one diabetes is when your islet cells do not produce any or do not produce enough insulin. People with type one diabetes have to take shots daily to maintain their blood sugar. That or they could get an insulin pump that does that for them.
Why is insulin associated with the maintenance of blood glucose levels?
The pancreas releases insulin to lower the level of glucose in blood, and on the other hand, for the balance, it also secretes glucagon to elevate the level of glucose. Insulin is one half of the balance mechanism for glucose levels. Too much and too little glucose has damaging effects on the body and it's cells.
Is hyperglycemia a state of total deficient pituitary gland activity?
No, hyperglycemia is high blood sugar levels. It is not caused by deficient pituitary gland activity, but can be associated with conditions such as diabetes where the body does not produce enough insulin or cannot use insulin effectively to lower blood sugar levels.
What occurs if the thyroid gland or the pancreas produces too much or too little hormone?
ok for now on when we get on this site we want the answers not your immaturetiy
Why does insulin in the blood increase after meals?
Insulin increases after meals because it is released by the pancreas in response to rising blood sugar levels after eating. Its role is to facilitate the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into cells, where it can be used for energy production or stored for later use. This helps to lower blood sugar levels back to a stable range.
What is the difference between diabetes1 and 2?
Type I diabetes is an Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus i.e. very little or no insulin is produced by the pancreas. Type II Diabetes is a non Insulin dependent Diabetes mellitus i.e. Pancreas does not make enough insulin or body does not use insulin correctly.
