Help! What are the causes and symptoms of hypersecretion and hyposecretion of insulin?

Hyposecretion of Anti-Diuretic Hormone - Diabetes insipidus

Due to decreased production of anti-diuretic hormone in the supraoptic nucleus of the hypothalamus. Often associated with a head injury.

Symptoms: Excessive diuresis and thirst (polyuria and polydipsia).

Hyposecretion of Growth hormone - Pituitary dwarfism

Due to decreased production of growth hormone from the somatotropic cells of the anterior pituitary. Generally due to a nonmalignant adenoma of the non-somatotropic tissue of the anterior pituitary.

Symptoms:

1. Pronounced hypoglycemia.

2. In Lorain dwarfism:

a. arrested sexual development

b. stunted growth

c. normal intelligence

3. In Frolich's dwarfism:

a. arrested sexual development

b. stunted growth

c. mental retardation

Hypersecretion of growth hormone - Giantism and Acromegaly

Pituitary giantism is due to overproduction of growth hormone during childhood. Usually caused by an adenoma of the somatotropic cells.

Symptoms: Excessive growth, hyperglycemia, diabetes mellitus, osteoporosis and high basal metabolic rate (BMR).

Acromegaly excessive appositional growth of the skeleton resulting in thickening of the digits and facial features ("lantern jaw" and protruding brow ridges). Increase in height does not occur since at the time of the onset of acromegaly the epiphyseal plates have calcified. Except for growth in height, symptoms are the same as those for giantism.

Hyposecretion of thymus or absence of gland

DiGeorge syndrome occurs in children born without a thymus gland. As a result, there is a lack of thymosin production. Thymosin is needed to stimulate the differentiation of T lymphocytes.

Symptoms:

1. Little or no immune response.

2. Inability to resist bacterial, viral or fungal infections.

3. A lack of cancer cell surveillance.

4. Inability to reject foreign tissues.

Hyposecretion of thyroid hormone

Myxedema occurs in the adult due to low thyroxine production. This can be produced by an adenoma of non-thyrotropic cells in the anterior pituitary, low iodine in the diet or autoimmune destruction of the thyroid (Hashimoto's thyroiditis).

Symptoms:

1. Low BMR and lower body temperature.

2. Increased fat deposition and lethargy

3. Low blood pressure, heart rate and respiratory rate

4. Goiter due to low levels of iodine in blood.

Cretinism is due to hypothyroidism in infants or children. In addition to the symptoms seen in myxedema, the patient exhibits stunted growth, mental deficiency and immature sexual development.

Hypersecretion of thyroid hormone

Overproduction of thyroid hormone can be due to adenoma of the thyrotropic cells of the anterior pituitary, a thyroid tumor or an autoimmune reaction to TSH receptors on thyrotropic cells (Graves' disease).

Symptoms:

1. High BMR and high body temperature with profuse sweating.

2. Increased appetite with weight loss.

3. Increased heart rate, blood pressure and respiratory rate.

4. Muscular tremor and nervousness

5. Cardiac arrhythmias.

6. Toxic goiter and exophthalmia (Graves' disease).

Hypersecretion of parathyroid hormone

An excess of parathyroid hormone production is due to a tumor of the parathyroid gland.

Symptoms:

1. High blood calcium.

2. Decalcification of bone which leads to fractures (osteitis fibrosa cystica).

3. Cardiac arrhythmias.

4. Tetany in skeletal muscles.

Hyposecretion of parathyroid hormone

The non-function of the parathyroid glands produces below normal levels of calcium in the blood.

Symptoms:

1. Spontaneous nerve depolarization causing muscular spasms, twitches and convulsions.

2. Trousseau sign - Cuffing the arm leads to irreversible flexion of fingers.

3. Chvostek sign - Tapping the facial nerve branches at the lower margin of the jaw produces contractions of facial muscles.

Hyposecretion of insulin - Diabetes mellitus

Due to a lack of insulin from nonfunctioning beta cells of the pancreatic islets. There are two primary forms of this disease:

1. Type I or juvenile onset diabetes mellitus generally occurs in people younger than 20 years (insulin dependent diabetes). This is the consequence of an autoimmune destruction of islet beta cells.

2. Type II or late onset diabetes mellitus usually occurs in people who are over the age of 40 and overweight. In many cases, diet and exercise can reverse symptoms.

Symptoms:

1. Hyperglycemia

2. Polyuria, polydipsia and polyphagia.

3. Ketoacidosis which can lead to diabetic coma and death.

Hypersecretion of insulin - hyperinsulinism

A tumor of the islet beta cells will cause an overproduction of insulin. This will produce a pronounced hypoglycemia. There is a very low incidence of this condition.

Symptoms:

1. Anxiety and sweating.

2. Body tremors

3. Elevated body temperature

4. Disorientation

4. The pat

Type 2 diabetes, usually referred to as adult onset, is when your body produces insulin but can not use it properly. This type can be treated successfully with the right diet and exercise in most circumstances. If blood sugars are not kept under control at some point insulin will probably be integrated / oral medications are also available.

People with diabetes can live long, happy lives but must be diligent in their care and make sure you see your endocrinologist on a regular basis.

Forget anything you have ever been told about Diabetes. And get this - it has nothing to do with insulin, exercise, diet or anything else you've heard in the past. It's all based on latest breakthrough research that Big Pharma is going Stir Crazy to hide from you. Visit here : https://tinyurl.im/aH2Cm to find out what all the fuss is about.

Hypothyroidism, or low thyroid function, is a silent epidemic, according to many functional medicine doctors. How to cure hypothyroidism naturally https://tr.im/jt1A7

People can suffer for years with symptoms that our conventional medical system frequently doesn’t know how to treat because complaints seem scattered or vague and often there is no pill for the ill(s).

What’s worse, in most cases, hypothyroidism isn’t rooted in a thyroid problem in the first place. It’s rooted in an immune system gone awry, but most doctors don’t test for the antibodies that show the presence of autoimmunity.

Hyposecretion Of Antidiuretic Hormone

There is a lot of stuff on the internet that is basically fat-shaming diabetics for causing their own diabetes with their bad diet and lack of exercise and general lack of moral fibre. A lot of this stuff is written by non-doctors, often with a supplement or diet or training plan to sell that they claim will completely cure diabetes if only people stick to it.

I read this interesting book https://tr.im/CsFn4 that gave me a lot of useful tips about my disease and also a different perspective on the best therapeutical approach. I think you should read it too. 

I hope it helps

Diabetes Symptoms:

Severe pain in calf muscles [below knee joints], reeling sensation after heavy lunch/dinner, unhealed wounds/injuries/gum infections, excessive thirst/hunger, excessive urination and above all tensions add to the chief symptoms of diabetes. However, we can reduce it. Learn more:
