Q

what are the main functions of insulin

A
  • facilitates glucose uptake from blood into tissues
  • speeds oxidation of glucose within cells for energy
  • speeds conversion of glucose to glycogen to store in the muscles to prevent it converting back to glucose
  • conversion of glucose to fat in adipose tissue

Q

what happens with the increased glucose in the blood in type 1 diabetes

A

it spills over into the urine, causes excretion of large amts of urine, causes water and electrolyte loss, which signals thirst in the brain
