Signs and symptoms of strep throat can include: 1  Throat pain that usually comes on quickly. 2  Painful swallowing. 3  Red and swollen tonsils, sometimes with white patches or streaks of pus.

Insulin Routines. 1  Insulin is required for people with type 1 diabetes and sometimes necessary for people with type 2 diabetes. 2  Syringe is the most common form of insulin delivery, but there are other options, including insulin pens and pumps.
Points to Remember. 1  Insulin is a hormone that helps cells throughout the body absorb glucose and use it for energy. Insulin resistance is a condition in which the body produces insulin but does not use it effectively. 2  Insulin resistance increases the risk of developing type 2 diabetes and prediabetes. Prediabetes usually occurs in people who already have insulin resistance. Although insulin resistance alone does not cause type 2 diabetes, it often sets the stage for the disease by placing a high demand on the insulin-producing beta cells. In prediabetes, the beta cells can no longer produce enough insulin to overcome insulin resistance, causing blood glucose levels to rise above the normal range. Once a person has prediabetes, continued loss of beta cell function usually leads to type 2 diabetes. People with type 2 diabetes have high blood glucose.
