After you eat, the food is broken down into glucose, the simple sugar that is the main source of energy for the body's cells. But your cells cannot use glucose without insulin, a hormone produced by the pancreas. Insulin helps the cells take in glucose and convert it to energy. When the pancreas does not make enough insulin or the body is unable to use the insulin that is present, the cells cannot use glucose. Excess glucose builds up in the bloodstream, setting the stage for diabetes.

As no one else has had a go, i will. \n\nCellulase should produce glucose, so you are needing a method to analyse the amount of glucose formed. \n\nIf you have access to a blood glucose monitor, this would be the simplest way. Otherwise, the reaction between glucose and Benedicts solution is quantitative, and you could weigh the amount of Cu2O formed.

Firstly, it should be done by a healthcare professional...either a doctor or a diabetic nurse.  It is calculated based on individual response. So it is really a guess game. You give some insulin, see what a sugar value is in several hours and adjust based on that.  After several days, you arrive at a reasonable dose.  Hope this helps, but don't try this on your own :).

that's so weird, we're doing something similar in my bio class...\n\nI would agree with you....glucose should be broken down faster...perhaps theres some error in ur results.\n\nI did the same experiment...and I had glucose produce a little more CO2 than sucrose.

Limit your carb intake. The body turns all carbs into sugar. With simple carbs; sugar, honey, syrup, etc. the body converts these quickly causing your blood sugar to spike so avoid these. Complex carbs like rice, oatmeal, beans, etc. take longer to convert so your blood sugar doesn't spike, but it will still go up. You also have to be careful not to eat too much protein. Protein won't effect your blood sugar, but will effect your kidneys which are already working overtime trying to get rid of the excess sugar. Make an appointment and talk with a dietitian. In the meantime practice portion control. That's where most of us get in trouble. 1/2 Cup is a serving of starch like corn, beans, pasta, potatoes. 1 Cup is a serving of raw veggies and 1/2 Cup cooked veggies = a serving. 1 oz. of meat = 1 serving of meat. Watch your diet and talk with a dietitian and you should be able to control your diabetes without having to go on meds. OH and always carry some hard candy with you in case your blood sugar gets too low. Good luck with this.

Contact the American Diabetes Association.  Your doctor should have pamplets and information.  There should also be information that comes with your glucometer.  Your local hospital should also have information available.

Glucose is a chemical which contains a good bit of energy. It is somewhat reactive as well. It is the sugar in grapes, the components of starch, and 1/2 of the disaacharide sucrose (table sugar). \n\nGlucose reacts with a great many proteins in the body. this quite normal and is always found. The reaction depends on the glucose concentration, and higher glucose levels result in larger numbers of them. The HB1ac blood test measures one of these reactions and uses the level measured as an estimate of the average blood glucose level for the past 3 months or so. \n\nSome of those reactions are more damaging. It's thought that these reactions are connected with the vascular damage which causes problems in eyes, kidneys, and feet. And also probably with neuropathy. \n\nHigher than normal glucose levels have been shown to associate with these complications, and diabetics who keep their glucose levles normal have complication rates very much like those of non-diabetics. Several large studies have demonstrated this for both type 1 and type 2 diabetics. There is little question any more that keeping one's glucose levels at or very near normal is well worth doing.

Gluconeogenesis is the process of the body creating sugar (glucose) from sources other than carbohydrates or glycogen (percursor to glucose... stored in the liver).  Most commonly the sources are from proteins and fats/\n\nGlycogenesis is when the body converts stored glycogen into glucose.  Glycogen is easier for the body to store than glucose, but it has to be converted to glucose before it can be used by the body.\n\nGlycolysis is the breakdown of glucose.... usually to excrete it from the body.  LYSIS= destruction or breakdown.

On a world-wide, standard-case scale, a human's blood stream should consist of roughly 10% glucose (or a bgl of 100). But this is if everyone were the same - it's a much better idea to talk to an endochronologist with a familiarty with your children's medical history. Best of luck! (I too am a diabetic.)

what kind of glucometer machine do you have?? Every machine is different. I have a One touch and I use strips and once the correct steps are followed I obtain my sugar level. No machines don't get blood into them unless inproper steps have happened.

On 1 graph you could put age(x) and height(y).....and on another graph, you could probably put age(x) and weight(y)......I think :)

Insulin is a hormone that regulates the glucose level in blood. It is a hormone secreted by the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas that regulates the level of glucose in the blood. Deficiency in production results in diabetes mellitus.

Normal\nA blood glucose test measures the amount of a type of sugar, called glucose, in your blood. \n\nResults are usually available within 1 to 2 hours.\n\nBlood glucose  Fasting blood glucose:\n 70–99 milligrams per deciliter or less than 5.5 mmol/L\n \n2 hours after eating (postprandial):\n 70–145 mg/dL (less than 7.9 mmol/L)\n \nRandom (casual):\n 70–125 mg/dL (less than 7.0 mmol/L)\n \n\n \n\nNormal results may vary from lab to lab. Many conditions can change your blood glucose levels. Your health professional will discuss any significant abnormal results with you in relation to your symptoms and medical history. \n\nHigh values\nThe American Diabetes Association (ADA) criteria for diagnosing diabetes are met when any of the following results have been repeated on at least two different days: \nA fasting blood glucose level is 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L) or higher.\nA 2-hour oral glucose tolerance test result is 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher. For more information, see the medical test Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. \nSymptoms of diabetes are present and a random blood glucose test is 200 mg/dL (11.1 mmol/L) or higher. Symptoms of diabetes include increased thirst and frequent urination (especially at night), unexplained increase in appetite, unexplained weight loss, fatigue, erection problems, blurred vision, and tingling or numbness in the hands or feet.\nIf your fasting blood glucose level is between 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) and 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L), you are considered to have prediabetes (impaired fasting glucose), and you have an increased chance of getting diabetes. \nOther conditions that can cause high blood glucose levels include severe stress, heart attack, stroke, Cushing's syndrome, medications such as corticosteroids, cancers, or excess production of growth hormone (acromegaly). \nLow values\nA fasting glucose level below 40 mg/dL (2.2 mmol/L) in women or below 50 mg/dL (2.8 mmol/L) in men that is accompanied by symptoms of hypoglycemia may mean you have an insulinoma, a tumor that produces abnormally high amounts of insulin.\n\nLow glucose levels also may be caused by:\n\nAddison's disease. \nDecreased thyroid hormone levels (hypothyroidism). \nA tumor in the pituitary gland. \nLiver disease, such as cirrhosis. \nKidney failure. \nMalnutrition or an eating disorder, such as anorexia. \nMedications used to treat diabetes. \nWhat Affects the Test \n\nReasons you may not be able to have the test or why the results may not be helpful include:\n\nEating or drinking less than 8 hours before a fasting blood test or less than 2 hours before a 2-hour postprandial test. \nDrinking alcohol. \nIllness or emotional stress, smoking, and caffeine. \nTaking a medication, such as birth control pills, medications used to treat high blood pressure, phenytoin (Dilantin), furosemide (Lasix), triamterene (Dyrenium, Dyazide), hydrochlorothiazide (Esidrix, Hydro Par, Oretic), niacin, propranolol (Inderal), or corticosteroids (prednisone) can cause changes in your test results. Make sure that your doctor knows about any medicines you take and how often you take them.\n\nWhat To Think About \n\nOther tests are needed to accurately diagnose diabetes. A blood glucose test may not identify some people with prediabetes or early diabetes. Many experts recommend using a glucose tolerance test if the result of a fasting blood glucose test is between 100 mg/dL (5.5 mmol/L) and 126 mg/dL (7.0 mmol/L). This range is above the normal range but below the range that indicates diabetes. For more information, see the medical test Oral Glucose Tolerance Test. \nGlucose levels in urine also can be measured. Many people with diabetes have glucose in their urine. However, the level in the blood must be very high before glucose can be detected in the urine. For this reason, tests for glucose in urine are not used to diagnose or monitor diabetes. For more information, see the medical test Urine Test. \nIf you have diabetes, you will be able to
