If one has diabetes mellitus, glucose can NOT enter cells right

If one has diabetes mellitus, glucose can NOT enter cells right?
If one has diabetes melliyus, glucose can NOT enter cells right? Instead it accumulates in the blood plasma.. which of these statements WOULD BE TRUE? 1. The concentration of the plasma would decrease 2. The osmotic presure will stay the same. 3. Water would move out of the tissues into plamsa... 4 Tissue cells would swell.... In my opinion.... 1 would be the true answer because the concentration of the glucose wouldnt be able to absorb into the cells due to such a high concentration right???Energy of cells would come to a stop. BUT,for number 3... ( yes i skipped 2) for 3,during high levels of glucose isnt energy immobilized... Glucose is a larger molecule wouldnt it need facilitated diffusion to be transported across a cells membrane? and my answer for #4 would be.. Im thinking this would cause a cell to burst (hemolysis) and cause severe damage to many organs and organ systems..this is why i think this would be true as well I wonder if there is more than one answer

Number 3 is right! The plasma concentration would increase with the glycated hemaglobin circulating in it. Water would move into the blood (out of the cells) to try to dilute it. This is what causes the dehydration of diabetes. Tissue cells shrink.

Type 1 diabetes mostly depends on insulin so deficiency of insulin blood glucose level increase and cause type 1 diabetes mellitus . after meals the tryacyglycerides of lipids increases in blood and it effects on glucose metabolism it is low in refines carbohydrate and fat .

I hope that I never develop the condition. It is a difficult condition to live with. More people need to change their lifestyles to try to prevent it from happening to them.

do your homework by reading the book. you won't always have people to give you the answers...sometimes you have to dig to find treasure...
3 :
1. I n starvation, there is a decrease in the synthesis of one of the fatty acid synthesizing enzymes called "acetyl-CoA carboxylase" and therefore a decrease in the synthesis of lipids. The starving person breaks down lipids for use as an energy source. 2. In diabetes, t here is an increase in the fatty acid synthesizing enzyme (acetly Co A carboxylase) and an increase in fatty acid synthesis. The circulating blood glucose is not used for energy and the increase lipid synthesis is metabolized instead. The body acts as though it is starving in diabetics. The end result for both the diabetic and the person who is starving is a condition that is known as "ketoacidosis" which is an accumulation of keton bodies in the blood stream. This is a rather simple explanation of lipid metabolism, without using reaction pathways, which can get quite complicated. Hope this answers your question.

I am assuming you are talking about the right side... This would be highly individualistic I might add.. But I think I can probably take a shot at it... Without checking the medical journal, I would assume it is blood pressure / atherosclerosis related. Meaning, in most patients with advanced atherosclerosis, their systolic pressure is rather high. Because the right side is supplied with blood first, then injury / bruising would probably appear first simply because it is getting better blood supply.. I must note that this not scientific based, but rather just my late night thoughts... I am also free to change my mind in the morning... :)

in diabetes mellitus, glycosuria occures because the concentration of glucose in the glomerular filtrate excee?

1 :
Glycosuria may occur when the osmotic gradient in the blood exceeds that in Bowman's Capsule in the glomerular apparatus of the nephron which is the functional unit of the kidneys. Before drawing conclusions however bear in mind that there is no correlation between blood glucose and urine glucose levels. There are simply too many variables for urine glucose levels to be useful. Physicians have not checked urine glucose in diabetics since the 1980s. I wish you the very best of health and in all things may God bless.

Why is hyperglycemia a symptom of diabetes mellitus

why is hyperglycemia a symptom of diabetes mellitus?
Funny thing is I already knew all this, nice answers though ;)

1 :
Because persistent hyperglycemia is diabetes mellitus. They are synonymous.
2 :
Hyperglycemia is increased sugar in the blood system. The pancreas produces insulin to lower the amount/ level of sugar in the body. When a person has diabetes, their pancreas either cannot make insulin at all, or cannot make adequate insulin to lower the amount of sugar in the blood system. Careful monitoring of diet and increase in activity can help a person maintain normal blood sugar levels without the need for insulin. Those with diabetes may also have symptoms of hypoglycemia, when blood sugar levels fall too low. Close monitoring of blood sugar levels is very important- as major organs can be destroyed by high blood sugar; such as the eyes and kidneys, to name a few.
3 :
Because, hyper means high, glycemia means sugar. Diabetes mellitis is the medical disorder which chararacterizes hyperglycemia, resulting from secretion or action of the hormone insulin.
4 :
Liv, in diabetes mellitus the beta cells of the pancreas don't 1) produce enough insulin, 2) produce any insulin or 3) produce a usable insulin. Insulin regulates the levels of glucose in the blood. If there is no insulin production, as in Type I, or little insulin production or insulin that cannot be used (such as with central obesity--fat is insulin resistant), as in Type II, then there is nothing to regulate and lower glucose levels in the blood. A higher than normal level of glucose is called hyperglycemia. That is why hyperglycemia is a symptom of IDDM Insulin dependent diabetes mellitus) and NIDDM (Non-insulin dependent diabetes mellitus). I tried to keep it simple.
5 :
Because the insulin that carries glucose in our blood is either not enough or not functioning at all so the glucose stays in our blood. That's why when you take your blood sugar it's above the normal average called hyperglycemia.
