===Pathology involving glucose===

When there is not enough glucose in your body, you start experiencing the symptoms of [[hypoglycemia]]. Because the lack of glucose inhibits your cells from operating properly, you will feel fatigued, light headed, and nauseous. In extreme cases, people can go into comas. A common disorder called [[diabetes]] is caused by your body's inability to use glucose productively. This can happen when your body doesn't produce enough [[insulin]], or you become "glucose intolerant" from lack of exercise and bad diet.

When there is insufficient glucose in your body, a person may start experiencing the symptoms of [[hypoglycemia]]. Because the lack of glucose inhibits your cells from operating properly, you will feel fatigued, light headed, and nauseous. In most cases, the sympathetic nervous system is triggered resulting in tremors, nervousness, and anxiety. In extreme cases, people can go into comas.

 

A common disorder called [[diabetes mellitus]] is caused by a defect in normal glucose homeostasis. This occurs when one's body does not generate enough [[insulin]] due to autoimmune destruction of insulin secreting Beta-cells in the pancreas, or because body cells have been rendered "insulin resistant". The latter is precipitated by obesity or a genetic factor that causes dysfunctional cell signaling when insulin binds to its plasma membrane receptor.
