Answer: When blood glucose levels rise beyond the normal level (hyperglycaemia), an insulin injection is needed.

Explanation: This applies to insulin-dependent diabetes, i.e. Type I, where the medical diagnosis is insulin insufficiency. The situation with Type II diabetes is less straightforward.

Insulin is required to enable glucose to be distributed as required, taken up by cells as they need it. Glucose is constantly produced. Without insulin, little glucose is removed from the blood, and the blood glucose concentration rises. The symptoms of this hyperglycaemia include unusual thirst, frequent urination and tiredness. Unless very high levels are reached this may not be severe enough to be noticed, which is why diabetics monitor their blood glucose levels - to avoid those severe episodes. If their blood glucose exceeds normal levels, an insulin injection is needed

What happens in your body to cause you to get a fever?
andriy [413]

The presence of a fever is usually related to stimulation of the body's immune response. Fever can support the immune system's attempt to gain advantage over infectious agents, such as viruses and bacteria, and it makes the body less favorable as a host for replicating viruses and bacteria, which are temperature sensitive. Infectious agents are not the only causes of fever, however. Amphetamine abuse and alcohol withdrawal can both elicit high temperatures, for example. And environmental fevers--such as those associated with heat stroke and related illnesses--can also occur.

The hypothalamus, which sits at the base of the brain, acts as the body's thermostat. It is triggered by floating biochemical substances called pyrogens, which flow from sites where the immune system has identified potential trouble to the hypothalamus via the bloodstream. Some pyrogens are produced by body tissue; many pathogens also produce pyrogens. When the hypothalamus detects them, it tells the body to generate and retain more heat, thus producing a fever. Children typically get higher and quicker fevers, reflecting the effects of the pyrogens upon an inexperienced immune system.
