Ngaba wakha wazibuza ukuba yintoni entliziyweni yokulawula isifo seswekile? Impendulo yi-insulin. I-insulin yincindi yencindi eveliswa ngudakada edlala indima ebalulekileyo ekulawuleni amanqanaba eswekile esegazini. Kule bhlog, siza kuphonononga ukuba yintoni i-insulin kwaye kutheni ibalulekile.

Ukubeka nje, i-insulin isebenza njengesitshixo esivula iiseli emizimbeni yethu, ivumela i-glucose (iswekile) ukuba ingene kwaye isetyenziselwe amandla. Xa sisebenzisa iicarbohydrates, ziyaqhekeka zibe yiglucose kwaye zikhutshelwe egazini. Ukusabela ekunyukeni kwamanqanaba eswekile yegazi, udakada lukhupha i-insulin, ehambisa iswekile egazini ukuya kwiiseli zethu.

Nangona kunjalo, kubantu abanesifo sikashukela, le nkqubo iphazamisekile. Kuhlobo lwe-1 d iabetes, i-pancreas ivelisa i-insulin encinci kwaye i-insulin kufuneka itofwe ngaphandle. Uhlobo lwe-2 yeswekile, kwelinye icala, lubonakaliswa kukunganyangeki kwe-insulin, impendulo yeselula ebuthathaka kwisenzo se-insulin, ekhokelela kumanqanaba aphezulu eswekile yegazi. Kuzo zombini ezi meko, ulawulo lwe-insulin lubalulekile ekugcineni amanqanaba eswekile yegazi.

Unyango lwe-insulin luhanjiswa ngeendlela ezahlukeneyo, kubandakanywa iinaliti, iipompo ze-insulin, kunye ne-insulin. Umthamo kunye nexesha le-insulin lixhomekeke kwizinto ezininzi, ezifana nokutya, ukuzivocavoca umzimba, amanqanaba oxinzelelo, kunye nempilo yonke. Ukujongwa rhoqo kumanqanaba eswekile yegazi kunokunceda ukumisela idosi efanelekileyo ye-insulin efunekayo ukugcina ulawulo lweswekile yegazi oluzinzileyo.

Ukuqonda i-insulin akupheleliselwanga kubantu abanesifo seswekile; ibalulekile kwintlalontle yomntu wonke. Ukungalingani kwi-insulin secretion kunye nesenzo kunokukhokelela kwiingxaki ezinzulu, ezifana ne-hyperglycemia, i-hypoglycemia, isifo senhliziyo, umonakalo wezintso, njl.

Ukongezelela, ukugcina indlela yokuphila enempilo kunokunceda ukukhusela okanye ukulibazisa ukuqala kohlobo lwe-2 yeswekile. Ukuzivocavoca rhoqo, ukutya okunokulinganisela okutyebileyo kwiziqhamo, imifuno, kunye nokutya okuziinkozo, kunye nobukhulu besahlulo esilinganiselweyo kunokunceda ukuphucula uvakalelo lwe-insulin kunye nempilo yonke ye-metabolic.

Isishwankathelo, i-insulin yihomoni ebalulekileyo elawula amanqanaba eswekile yegazi kwaye iqinisekisa ukusetyenziswa okufanelekileyo kwamandla eselula. Ukuqonda indima ye-insulin kubalulekile kubantu abanesifo seswekile njengoko isenza umqolo wolawulo lweswekile. Ukongeza, ukuphuhlisa imikhwa enempilo kunokukhuthaza ukusetyenziswa okusebenzayo kwe-insulin, enenzuzo kwimpilo yonke yomntu.
