Insulin and Diabetes: Understanding the connection

By Lydia Stone

Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays an important role in managing blood sugar levels in the body. When we eat, our bodies convert the food we consume into glucose, a kind of sugar that is used for energy. Insulin aids in the transport of glucose from the circulation to the body's cells, where it may be used for energy.

Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs when the body's ability to use and store glucose is impaired. Diabetes is classified into two types type 1 and type 2.

Type 1 diabetes is an autoimmune disease in which the body attacks and destroys the pancreatic insulin producing cells. This results in a complete lack of insulin in the body and the need for insulin replacement therapy.

Type 2 diabetes is a metabolic disorder in which the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin and is unable to use and store glucose properly.
This might be due to a variety of factors, including poor dietary and lifestyle choices, obesity, and a lack of physical activity.

Diabetes treatment consists of insulin prescription, blood sugar monitoring, and living a healthy lifestyle.This may include measures like taking insulin as directed, monitoring blood sugar levels on a regular basis, eating a balanced diet, getting regular physical activity, and decreasing stress. Diabetes patients may effectively manage their condition and reduce their risk of complications by implementing these steps and collaborating with their healthcare team.
