COLLOCATIONS FROM CORPUS
■ ADJECTIVE
human
▪
If human insulin does not cause a problem with hypoglycaemia awareness, what does?
▪
But our results argue against any systematic adverse effect of human insulin .
▪
The concern comes after a reported increase in deaths of diabetic patients, most relying on genetically engineered human insulin .
▪
There have been few controlled prospective studies of the effect of transferring to human insulin on the clinical presentation of hypoglycaemia.
▪
If insulin is required a convenient regime is to use a highly purified porcine or human short-acting insulin subcutaneously.
▪
Responses to hypoglycaemia in a laboratory setting have been reported to be different in patients taking human and animal insulin .
▪
Any trend towards human insulin might increase if the price were to decrease below that of porcine insulin.
■ NOUN
concentration
▪
The increase in the serum insulin concentration after steroid treatment may reflect increased energy intake or induction of insulin resistance.
▪
Achieved plasma glucose and insulin concentrations were determined as the mean of the 50, 55, and 60 minute samples.
▪
Six subjects did not consent to a glucose tolerance test and tolerance was determined from fasting plasma glucose and insulin concentrations .
▪
There were no significant differences between the median serum IGFBP-1 and insulin concentrations in well grown compared with stunted patients.
▪
Plasma insulin concentration was measured in duplicate by radioimmunoassay with a charcoal absorption step to separate bound from free insulin.
injection
▪
Only recently has the importance of the timing of insulin injections in relation to meals become fully realised.
▪
Both foot amputations and insulin injections are treatments for diabetes, but only the latter is specific to the disease process.
▪
Therapeutically, this resistance can often be overcome by insulin injections .
▪
Also, about 15 percent of the patients on 400 milligrams were able to stop insulin injections altogether.
▪
Diabetics have to eat regularly if their illness is to be kept under control with insulin injections .
▪
People with Type 1 diabetes must closely monitor their blood sugar and take daily insulin injections .
▪
All patients gave themselves two or more insulin injections daily.
porcine
▪
In the abstract they stated that there were 88 episodes of hypoglycaemia with human and 132 with porcine insulin .
▪
Any trend towards human insulin might increase if the price were to decrease below that of porcine insulin.
▪
Their results are compatible with a 37% smaller or greater adrenaline response with human insulin compared with porcine insulin.
▪
These differences were always in the same direction - more pronounced hormonal responses and more reporting of symptoms with porcine insulin .
▪
This test was also used to compare total hormonal responses to human and porcine insulin in the clamp studies.
resistance
▪
The increase in the serum insulin concentration after steroid treatment may reflect increased energy intake or induction of insulin resistance .
▪
This is the first treatment designed to specifically target insulin resistance , which is a precursor to diabetes.
▪
Challenging the orthodoxy of insulin resistance .
▪
In a vicious cycle, weight gain increases insulin resistance increases weight gain.
▪
This concept of selective insulin resistance is not new and has been well demonstrated in animal models.
▪
All that concentrated sugar can be dangerous for a person who has insulin resistance , and is at risk for diabetes.
▪
And for about 25 percent of people, weight gain increases insulin resistance , and can lead to diabetes.
▪
In most cases, the insulin resistance is due to obesity, especially the accumulation of too much fat within the abdomen.
sensitivity
▪
The drug also improved the insulin sensitivity of the subjects, which could improve their overall health.
■ VERB
produce
▪
People who have type 2 diabetes do not produce enough insulin , or their bodies can not properly use the hormone.
▪
In type 2, the pancreas produces some insulin , but it is not used very well.
take
▪
She was a diabetic and hadn't taken any insulin with her.
▪
People with Type 1 diabetes must closely monitor their blood sugar and take daily insulin injections.
▪
This applies to patients taking short-acting insulin to cover meals and snacks.
▪
Responses to hypoglycaemia in a laboratory setting have been reported to be different in patients taking human and animal insulin .
▪
In patients taking insulin this may mean deliberately inducing hypoglycaemia under controlled circumstances.
EXAMPLES FROM CORPUS
▪
Also, about 15 percent of the patients on 400 milligrams were able to stop insulin injections altogether.
▪
But our results argue against any systematic adverse effect of human insulin .
▪
Case 3 - An insulin dependent diabetic woman aged 74 gave a history of nausea for one week and poor diabetic control.
▪
In 1918 insulin was still unknown.
▪
In a vicious cycle, weight gain increases insulin resistance increases weight gain.
▪
In most situations this seems to be a direct effect of insulin on the hepatic production of IGFBP-1.
▪
Tests revealed that he had abnormally high levels of insulin in his blood, which could only have been injected.
▪
The assay is particularly useful in patients with circulating insulin antibodies or in those being treated with insulin.
