Why don't people's cells starve from lack of glucose while they are fasting​

GenaCL600 [577]2 years ago

Answer:


Fasting can definitely raise blood glucose. This is due to the effect of insulin falling and the rising counter-regulatory hormones including increased sympathetic tone, noradrenaline, cortisol and growth hormone, in addition to glucagon. These all have the effect of pushing glucose from liver storage into the blood. This is normal. If you are not eating, you want to use some stored glucose. The question is this – if you are not eating, and your blood glucose went up, where did that glucose come from? It can only have come from your own body (liver). So, it’s a natural phenomenon, and the fasting now allows your body to use some of the glucose for energy.

Combining TCAs with warfarin creates a risk for bleeding, which should be addressed in the nursing care plan. There is no known interaction between TCAs and calcium supplements or bisphosphonates that would create a risk for hypocalcemia. TCAs do not heighten the risk of gastroesophageal reflux. TCAs can affect blood pressure, but this is unrelated to any known drug-drug interactions.
