Insulin is a hormone that causes cells to absorb and store glucose. When the body fails to produce sufficient insulin, or the insulin is ineffective, the body cannot store glucose, and can become lethargic. Diabetes is the name for the condition where insulin is not functioning properly.
When a cell has too little insulin, it can lead to high blood sugar levels because insulin helps cells absorb glucose from the bloodstream. This can result in symptoms such as excessive thirst, frequent urination, fatigue, and weight loss. Over time, consistently high blood sugar levels can damage organs and lead to complications like nerve damage, cardiovascular disease, and kidney problems.
When a person can no longer produce insulin (or enough insulin) they have diabetes. Specifically Type 1 diabetes is the inability to make insulin.
Insulin helps control the blood sugar. So when a body can't produce insulin the level of blood sugar rises above normal.
When a cell has too little insulin, or it is unable to use the insulin it does get, it is unable to utilize the glucose in the blood, and it starves.

What happens if to much water is in a cell?
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.
What happens to living organisms if cell division is not controlled?
Cancer happens if the cells divide too fast.
What happens if the particle is too large to get across the membrane?
The cell use something called a protein channel that helps larger particles across the cell membrane.
What happens to the cell membrane when a cell becomes to large?
When a cell becomes too large, the cell membrane may not be able to efficiently transport nutrients and waste materials due to its limited surface area relative to the cell volume. This can lead to difficulties in maintaining cell functions and may result in cell death.
Why do you not inject insulin into a mussle?
It takes affect too fast and causes hypoglycemia.
What happens if you eat too many or too few carloies?
Too many and you can gain weight. Too few and you can lose weight.
What happens if to much water is in a cell?
Too much water inside a cell will cause it to burst.
What to do when blood sugar suddenly drops?
Either a high cellular sensitivity to insulin or too much insulin in the blood.
How insulin keep you healthy?
insulin is a hormone that controls your blood sugar levels. without insulin, your blood sugar levels could be too high or too low.
What happens to living organisms if cell division is not controlled?
Cancer happens if the cells divide too fast.
How does insulin lower the blood glucose level if it is too high?
Insulin enables the sugar to get out of the blood and into the cells where it is needed for the cells to function. If you don't have insulin because the pancreas is not producing it (as in diabetes) then the sugar will not be able to get into the cells, therefore there will be a high concentration in the blood. On the other hand, if you are diabetic and you take too much insulin, then too much sugar will go into the cells and there will not be enough sugar left in the blood.
What happens when the rate of synthesesing glycogen is high?
When the synthesizing glycogen is high in the human body it means that you have hypoglycemia. Hypoglycemia is when you have too much insulin in your system.
What is hypersecretion of insulin?
when insulin is secreted in a high amount than normal. too much insulin= low blood sugar.
What does nick Jonas never leave home without?
Considering his diabetes, usually insulin. But there are probably other things too, like a cell phone or a wallet.
If using a tuberculin syringe instead of insulin syringe-how much insulin should i draw up?
Do not use a TB syringe for your insulin. The standard these days is for insulin to be 100 units per mL, which would seem to measure the same, but the syringes are calibrated differently and they are not always equivalent. There's a high likelihood you'll take too much or too little, and this deficit or excess can really add up if you're taking insulin a few times per day. If you're not sure, take your insulin and your syringes to your doctor, a local urgent care, or maybe a pharmacy and get help from a professional; it's too easy to overdose or underdose if you don't understand your medication.
Too much urine indicate too much insulin?
too little ADH
What happens during meiosis that ultimately results in a defect characterized by the deletion of chromosomes?
Nondisjunction occurs in too many cells or too few cells causing defects
