  2. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_regulation

    If the blood glucose level falls to dangerously low levels (as during very heavy exercise or lack of food for extended periods), the alpha cells of the pancreas release glucagon, a peptide hormone which travels through the blood to the liver, where it binds to glucagon receptors on the surface of liver cells and stimulates them to break down glycogen stored inside the cells into glucose (this ...

  3. Dawn phenomenon - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dawn_phenomenon

    Management of the dawn phenomenon varies by patient and thus should be done with regular assistance from a patient's physician. Some treatment options include, but are not limited to, dietary modifications, increased exercise before breakfast and during the evening, and oral anti-hyperglycemic medications if a patient's HbA1c is > 7%.

  4. Smart insulin patch - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Smart_Insulin_Patch

    It is a transdermal patch comprising glucose-sensitive microneedle-array loaded with insulin for blood glucose regulation. Once applied on the skin, the microneedles penetrate under the skin and can sense blood sugar levels. If glucose levels go up, it can promote the release of insulin, which is transported through the regional lymph and ...

  5. The Glucose Goddess supplement to reduce blood sugar spikes ...

    Once glucose enters the bloodstream, it triggers the pancreas to release a hormone called insulin, which helps the body’s cells and organs absorb the glucose to be used for energy, according to ...

  6. Amylin - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amylin

    It is co-secreted with insulin from the pancreatic β-cells in the ratio of approximately 100:1 (insulin:amylin). Amylin plays a role in glycemic regulation by slowing gastric emptying and promoting satiety, thereby preventing post-prandial spikes in blood glucose levels. IAPP is processed from an 89-residue coding sequence.

  7. Prevention of type 2 diabetes - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prevention_of_type_2_diabetes

    Numerous clinical studies have shown that resistant starch increases insulin sensitivity, independent of the glycemic response of the food [8] [9] and may reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes. [10] The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires claims that resistant starch can reduce the risk of type 2 diabetes to be qualified with a declaration ...

  8. Diabetes management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_management

    The main goal of diabetes management is to keep blood glucose (BG) levels as normal as possible. [1] If diabetes is not well controlled, further challenges to health may occur. [1] People with diabetes can measure blood sugar by various methods, such as with a BG meter or a continuous glucose monitor, which monitors over several days. [2]

  9. Reactive hypoglycemia - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Reactive_hypoglycemia

    The consequent fall in blood glucose is indicated as the reason for the "sugar crash". [4] Another cause might be hysteresis effect of insulin action, i.e., the effect of insulin is still prominent even if both plasma glucose and insulin levels were already low, causing a plasma glucose level eventually much lower than the baseline level.
