Insulin is a hormone, produced by the pancreas, that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels by allowing cells to absorb glucose for energy.
Here's a more detailed explanation:
What it is:
Insulin is a peptide hormone, meaning it's a protein chain, produced by the beta cells of the pancreas.
What it does:
Regulates blood sugar: Insulin helps move glucose from the bloodstream into the body's cells, where it can be used for energy or stored for later use.
Lowers blood sugar levels: When blood glucose levels rise, the pancreas releases insulin, which signals cells to take up glucose, thus lowering blood sugar.
Essential for metabolism: Insulin is vital for the body's metabolism, ensuring that glucose is properly utilized and stored.
Diabetes and Insulin:
In diabetes, the pancreas either doesn't produce enough insulin, or the body doesn't respond normally to the insulin that is produced, leading to high blood sugar levels. People with diabetes often need to take insulin injections or use other methods to manage their blood sugar levels.
Types of Insulin:
There are different types of insulin available, including rapid-acting, short-acting, intermediate-acting, and long-acting insulins, each with varying onset and duration of action.
Insulin Resistance:
In some cases, the body can become resistant to insulin, meaning the cells don't respond as well to insulin's signals, leading to a buildup of glucose in the bloodstream.
Insulin in Blood Test:
A blood test can measure the amount of insulin in the blood, which can help diagnose conditions like diabetes and assess how well the body is using insulin.
