Understanding glucose and insulin.

Glucose is a molecule and its level increases after food intake. Insulin is a hormone that regulates the glucose level in the blood. It induces taking into by the related cells and to provide energy for the body. Increased glucose level trigger the production of insulin by the pancreas keep the sugar at normal level in the blood.

Importance and causes of insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance is defined as a decrease in the sensitivity of cells to insulin. Essential cells could not reach the glucose so the glucose level could not be maintained. Therefore, the pancreas has to produce much more insulin in response to decreased insulin sensitivity for glucose homeostasis.

There are many reasons which trigger the insulin resistance. A sedentary lifestyle, excessive amount of fat in the body and high sugar/carbohydrate diet are among the main reasons.

Be aware of the importance of insulin resistance.

Insulin resistance is an very important metabolic disorder that affects the large part of the world population. So its early diagnosis have a major role for prevention or avoid of progress. There are several methods to assess insulin resistance like Homeostasis Model Assessment (HOMA), Quantitative Insulin Sensitivity Check Index (QUICKI), Adipose Tissue Insulin Resistance Index (Adipo-IR) and etc. All these models designed with insulin or glucose like metabolites measurements.

Kazelnut's biosensor technology.

The Kazelnut’s device is an easy to use electrochemial biosensor which measures the insulin and glucose level with the small volume of blood. This technology allows to monitoring your glucose metabolism disorder at home and very fast. It gives the opportunity for regular measurements to discover your insulin metabolism pattern in the context of your lifestyle and eating behaviours.
