Insulin

Diabetes is a condition that causes high levels of glucose (a type of sugar) in your blood. This is due to a problem with the hormone insulin, responsible for moving glucose from your bloodstream into the cells of your body for energy. With diabetes, the body either attacks insulin-producing cells, does not produce enough insulin or does not react to insulin.

Insulin is a peptide hormone that plays a crucial role in regulating blood sugar (glucose) levels in the body. It is produced by the beta cells of the pancreas, which are located in the islets of Langerhans. Insulin helps control glucose metabolism by facilitating the uptake of glucose from the bloodstream into various cells, such as muscle, liver, and adipose (fat) tissue.

When you eat food, especially carbohydrates, your body breaks down the carbohydrates into glucose, which enters the bloodstream. In response to rising blood sugar levels, the pancreas releases insulin. Insulin acts as a key that unlocks cells, allowing them to take in glucose from the bloodstream for energy production. This process helps to lower blood sugar levels.

There are two main types of diabetes: type 1 diabetes and type 2 diabetes, both of which are related to problems with insulin.

1. Type 1 Diabetes: This is an autoimmune condition in which the immune system attacks and destroys the beta cells in the pancreas, leading to little or no insulin production. People with type 1 diabetes require external insulin administration through injections or an insulin pump to survive. This type of diabetes typically develops early in life and is not related to lifestyle factors.
2. Type 2 Diabetes: This form of diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, where the body’s cells become less responsive to the effects of insulin. Initially, the pancreas tries to compensate by producing more insulin, but over time, it might not be able to keep up with the demand. Type 2 diabetes is often associated with lifestyle factors such as obesity, physical inactivity, and poor diet. It can sometimes be managed through dietary changes, exercise, oral medications, and, in some cases, insulin therapy.

Insulin can be administered through injections using syringes, insulin pens, or insulin pumps. The goal of insulin therapy is to mimic the body’s natural insulin release and maintain healthy blood sugar levels.
