Document Summary
Glycolysis when there is plenty of sugar in the diet, insulin is secreted, the cells take up the glucose from the circulation and create energy through the glycolytic pathway that is influenced by insulin. When there is no food insulin will fade out, glycolysis will go to a minimum. Diabetes predisposes to a number of diseases; cornea clouding, heart disease, stroke, renal failure, etc. Type 2 beta cells get fatigued from too much insulin being produced. Hyperosmolar state general disturbance in the input-output of fluids as well as electrolyte content that is high in the blood. T lymphocytes exist when there is inflammation, inflammatory response is provoked and destroys the beta cells in the pancreas. Years of autoimmune destruction of beta cells somatic mutation. Measure glucose levels in the blood (appears high in the fasting state) Oral glucose tolerance test high after drinking, after one hour, the.
