kompoz [17]1 year ago

The <u>beta</u> cells of pancreatic islets produce insulin.

A beta cell's primary job is to create and secrete insulin, the hormone in charge of controlling blood glucose levels. Beta cells swiftly react by secreting part of their stored insulin and increasing the secretion of the hormone when blood glucose levels start to rise (for instance, after digestion).

Normally, it takes around 10 minutes for this fast reaction to a blood glucose surge. However, in persons with diabetes, these cells are either unable to produce enough insulin for blood sugar regulation or are targeted and destroyed by the immune system (type 1 diabetes) ( type 2 diabetes ).

Helga [31]

<u>A temporary worsening of the condition</u> indicate that the client is in cholinergic crisis.

An edrophonium injection makes the client in cholinergic crisis temporarily worse. An improvement in the weakness indicates myasthenia crisis. Muscle spasms are not associated with this test.

The main test for myasthenia gravis is a blood test to look for a type of antibody (produced by the immune system) that stops signals being sent between the nerves and muscles. A high level of these antibodies usually means you have myasthenia gravis.

Flaccid paralysis worsens the paralysis caused by cholinergic crisis but strengthens the muscle response in the case of myasthenia gravis.
