  2. Blood sugar level - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_level

    In blood-glucose levels, insulin lowers the concentration of glucose in the blood. The lower blood-glucose level (a product of the insulin secretion) triggers glucagon to be secreted, and repeats the cycle. [23] In order for blood glucose to be kept stable, modifications to insulin, glucagon, epinephrine and cortisol are made.

  3. Homeostatic model assessment - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Homeostatic_model_assessment

    IR is insulin resistance and %β is the β-cell function (more precisely, an index for glucose tolerance, i.e. a measure for the ability to counteract the glucose load). Insulin is given in μU/mL. [7] Glucose and insulin are both during fasting. [2] This model correlated well with estimates using the euglycemic clamp method (r = 0.88). [2]

  4. Disposition index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Disposition_index

    Simultaneous fasting measurements of insulin and glucose in conjunction with mathematical modelling (SPINA) [9] If clamp investigations are used the disposition index is defined as the product of the area under the insulin response curve ( A U C Δ I n s u l i n {\displaystyle AUC_{\Delta Insulin}} ) and the insulin sensitivity index ( ISI ...

  5. What Is Diabetes: Risk Factors & Treatment - AOL

    Diabetes is a condition that causes blood sugar levels to become higher than normal. This is due to problems with how the body makes or uses insulin, the hormone that manages blood sugar (glucose ...

  6. Blood sugar regulation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blood_sugar_regulation

    Diabetes mellitus type 1 is caused by insufficient or non-existent production of insulin, while type 2 is primarily due to a decreased response to insulin in the tissues of the body (insulin resistance). Both types of diabetes, if untreated, result in too much glucose remaining in the blood (hyperglycemia) and many of the same complications.

  7. Insulin resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_resistance

    Insulin is a hormone that facilitates the transport of glucose from blood into cells, thereby reducing blood glucose (blood sugar). Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to carbohydrates consumed in the diet. In states of insulin resistance, the same amount of insulin does not have the same effect on glucose transport and blood sugar ...

  8. Insulin index - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_index

    In the table below, glycemic and insulin scores show the increase in the blood concentration of each. The Insulin Index is not the same as a glycemic index (GI), which is based exclusively on the digestible carbohydrate content of food, and represents a comparison of foods in amounts with equal digestible carbohydrate content (typically 50 g).

    Plasma glucose (fasting) 3.8, [14] 4.0 [5] 6.0, [5] 6.1 [176] mmol/L: See also glycated hemoglobin (in hematology) 65, [15] 70, [14] 72 [177] 100, [176] 110 [23] mg/dL Full blood glucose (fasting) 3.3 [5] 5.6 [5] mmol/L 60 [177] 100 [177] mg/dL Random glucose: 3.9 [178] 7.8 [178] mmol/L 70 [179] 140 [179] mg/dL Lactate (Venous) 4.5 [23] 19.8 ...
