also be given to prediabetic patients to prevent them from developing chronic diabetes. Metformin stimulates insulin production and therefore decreases blood sugar levels. Usually patients are discouraged to get insulin injections such as diabetes type 1 patients as by injecting insulin into the system, it could discourage the insulin production, eventually causing insulin production to

It coordinates body activities like growth, development, and metabolism via secreting hormones. The two types are lipid- or water-soluble. The former permeates the plasma membrane and binds to their target receptors within cells, whereas the latter must bind to receptors in the plasma membrane. It occurs when there is insufficient production of insulin via pancreatic beta cells. For example, providing insulin is the pharmacologic intervention. The hormones (calcitonin and parathyroid) are responsible

Diabetes is a devastating disease that causes chronic problems globally. Diabetes comes in different forms; type 1 diabetes is caused from the pancreas inability to produce insulin. Insulin is a hormone that acts as a key that opens the cell to allow sugar inside to process into energy. Type 2 diabetes is caused from an insulin resistance, the cell becomes misshapen from an increase in adipose tissue that will not allow the key insulin to open the cell and allow glucose inside. This causes the glucose
