Marko Šestan and colleagues show that the hormone insulin can boost the antiviral immune system. Upon viral infection, the immune system therefore induces insulin resistance in order to increase insulin production by the pancreas, which stimulates the antiviral immune response. In lean people this is not a problem, because the pancreas easily compensates for temporary insulin resistance. But in obese people, who usually already have insulin resistance, infection may overload the ability of the pancreas to compensate, resulting in diabetes mellitus type 2.

This video is a special one and I made it specifically for World Diabetes Day, which happens every year on November 14.
Diabetes was originally diagnosed by tasting the urine of patients. In diabetics, the blood-sugar level is often extremely high and some of it spills over into the urine. So, if the urine tasted sweet, the person was likely diabetic.
This was the main way to test for diabetes for a long time, until there was a breakthrough in 1841 by Karl Trommer. From there, the technology was continually improved and today we have blood glucose meters.
I think that this technological journey is extremely interesting, and I hope that you guys agree with me after watching the video.
What I also think is cool, is that many of the breakthroughs along the way are still useful today for other applications. The Fehling’s and Benedict solutions are still routinely used in analytical chemistry, and the test strips are also useful.

Since urine formation occurs as the kidney filters the blood, the color of your urine is a great indicator of your body’s internal health system.

If you are experiencing an abnormal urine color, or you’re simply curious about the possible state of your kidney and urinary tract health, tune in for this urinary tract system breakdown.
