Is diabetes type 2 a disease or a disorder?
insulin resistance disorder
What kind of disorder is diabetes type 2?
Diabetes type 2 is a metabolic disorder, caused by insulin resistance in the cells of the body, combined with insufficient insulin formation. It is quite a separate disorder than diabetes type 1, which is caused by an autoimmune reaction that destroys the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas.
Does type 2 diabetes cause insulin deficiency or insulin resistance?
Insulin resistance is caused by obesity and a family history of insulin resistance. You can develop insulin resistance without these, but it's rare. Insulin resistance leads to type 2 diabetes. A type 1 diabetic can develop insulin resistance the same way anyone else does, but becoming obese and by having insulin resistance in the family. In this case, the insulin resistance and the type 1 diabetes are totally unrelated.
Which type of diabetes mellitus is an insulin resistance disorder gestational type 1 or type 2?
Diabetes type 2 has insulin resistance, while type 1 is basically an autoimmune disease where your body attacks your pancreas.
What causes excessive secretion of insulin?
Excessive secretion of insulin can be caused by conditions such as insulinoma, an insulin-secreting tumor of the pancreas, or insulin resistance in conditions like obesity or type 2 diabetes. In some cases, certain medications or hormonal imbalances can also lead to increased insulin secretion.
Insulin deficiency or resistance leads to hyperglycemia and ketoacidosis?
Diabetes Mellitus
How can insulin resistance be prevented?
Genetic factors contributing to insulin resistance cannot be changed as of the early 2000s.
What term best describes a failure of the body cells to respond to secreation of insulin?
Type one diabetes
What are the symptoms of mild insulin resistance?
In its mildest form, insulin resistance causes no symptoms, and is only recognizable on laboratory tests.
How will fat stop insulin from functioning?
obesity increases insulin resistance and thereby reduces the effectiveness of insulin.
Does fish oil help testosterone?
Yes fish oil helps in the increase of testosterone levels. First of all, there are many studies showing that fish oil combats insulin resistance. Insulin resistance is the hallmark sign of Metabolic Disorder and Metabolic Disorder is associated with decreased testosterone (and erectile dysfunction). The reason is that fish oil has long chain omega-3 fatty acids, which improve insulin response. Source(s): maxalife.com/supplements/omega-3-fish-oil; peaktestosterone.com/Testosterone_FishOil.aspx
