Hyperinsulinemia



Introduction

Hyperinsulinemia, present in people with Type II Diabetes mellitus or insulin-resistance where excess levels of circulating insulin in blood. Chronic exposure tp hyperinsulinemia results in the oxidation/damage of insulin-receptors, tissues, hence, become insensitive to insulin action.

Insulin also suppresses glucagon. In HHNS, no ketoacidosis is present even when blood sugars reach 600 mg/dl.

Causes

  • Type II Diabetes mellitus
  • insulin-resistance
  • neoplasm, pancreatic cancer
