THORAX ABDOMEN AND PELVIS

Detailed explanation-1: -Excess cortisol can counteract the effects of insulin, causing insulin resistance. Acromegaly: This is a rare but serious condition that happens when you have high levels of growth hormone (GH). High levels of GH can cause increased production of glucose, which can lead to insulin resistance.

Detailed explanation-2: -The link between the gut and the pancreas These messages are chemicals called peptides. The best known gut peptide controlling insulin is called GLP1 (Glucagon Like Peptide 1). GLP1 ‘speaks’ to the pancreas after glucose enters the gut, telling it to produce insulin at the right time.

Detailed explanation-3: -In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but the cells don’t respond to it as they should. This is called insulin resistance. When glucose can’t get into cells, the blood sugar level rises. Then the pancreas works harder to make even more insulin.

Detailed explanation-4: -Hyperinsulinemia (hi-pur-in-suh-lih-NEE-me-uh) means the amount of insulin in the blood is higher than what’s considered healthy. On its own, hyperinsulinemia isn’t diabetes. But hyperinsulinemia often is associated with type 2 diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that the pancreas makes.
