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

leonid [27]
Digestion, Absorption, Circulation, Diffusion, Synthesis. 

Digestion begins as soon as you put food in your mouth and begin chewing it, so it is the first step. Absorption happens when food is converted into substances that can be absorbed by your GI tract. Circulation is where those nutrients are circulated in your lymphatic and circulatory system (blood). Diffusion moves oxygen through your blood stream where it gets diffused. S<span>ynthesis converts nutrients that have been diffused and absorbed in your blood. </span>
