In type 2 diabetes is alpha cell secretion of glucagon is... Why?
Increased. Bc of the loss of amylin secretion (which blocks glucagon secretion) most
people with diabetes produce extra glucagon when they eat
Fluctuating. glucagon levels vary widely in type 2 diabetes due to irregular amylin
secretion
Unchanged. the presence of amylin has no impact on glucagon secretion in type 2
diabetes
Decreased. due to the increase in amylin secretion, glucagon production is reduced in
individuals with type 2 diabetes

Benefits and possible side effects of Aloe
decreased
-type 1 make none (bc no beta cell fxn)

May slow carb absorption from it's fiber content;
can decrease FBS, TG's, LDL and A1C
Accelerates defecation (cathartic)
Increased. Bc of the loss of amylin secretion (which blocks glucagon secretion) most
people with diabetes produce extra glucagon when they eat
