Insulin is a hypoglycemic hormone and the only hypoglycemic hormone in the body. Insulin is also a anabolic hormone, which can promote the synthesis of protein, fat and glycogen.
Insulin mainly promotes the metabolism of protein, fat, water, salt and electrolyte in the body, converts blood sugar into energy, provides energy in the body, and maintains metabolic balance in the body. When human insulin secretion is insufficient or insulin resistance occurs, blood sugar in the body will rise, so exogenous insulin is needed to lower blood sugar, provide energy in the body, and keep the blood sugar level in the body normal. Insulin is divided into human insulin, animal insulin and insulin analogues.
When the effect of insulin is relatively or absolutely insufficient due to various reasons, abnormal glucose metabolism will occur, leading to an increase in blood sugar. A large amount of glucose in patients with severe hyperglycemia is excreted with urine, and the body breaks down fat to provide energy, so patients will have symptoms such as thirst, overeating and emaciation.
After using insulin, patients will gain weight, and the possible reasons include the following:
1, blood sugar is controlled, and patients with hyperglycemia will have symptoms of overeating and emaciation. After blood sugar control, the carbohydrates you eat can be fully utilized. If you don't reduce your food intake, you will gain weight.
2, the role of insulin, insulin can promote the synthesis of glycogen, protein and fat, the use of insulin can easily lead to weight gain in patients.
3, diet, exercise factors Diabetes diet, exercise therapy should run through the whole process of diabetes treatment, especially if blood sugar is controlled, if you do not reduce your food intake, you will get fat.
