The similarities between the two are: Both are used to improve performance and appearance, most are ineffective and expensive, and many are dangerous. The differences between them are: Drugs undergo stringent government testing and are approved by the FDA. Supplements are marketed without any testing for safety or effectiveness and the FDA can take action against unsafe supplements after they are on the market.

Drugs and supplements are similar in that both have an effect on the nervous system and that both are psychoactive substances. They are different in that drugs are often necessary to help someone overcome an illness, while supplements are optional and not necessary.

Savatey [412]

Answer:

Insulin causes hypoglycemia by :

1) Increasing the uptake of glucose from the blood by the liver and muscle.

2) Increase glycogen synthesis by liver and muscle.

3) Increased utilization of glucose by increasing glycolysis.

4) Increased uptake of glucose from the blood by adipose tissue converting it into fats.

Explanation:

Excess insulin or other diabetes medications may cause the blood sugar level to drop too low, causing hypoglycemia. Insulin regulates how the body uses and stores glucose and fat. Insulin decreases the blood sugar levels by increaing their transport in the cells and causing its breakdown too.

Hypoglycemia causes dizziness weakness hunger trembling palpitations. Excess hypoglycemia may damage the brain causing seizures and loss of conciousness.
