Dietary therapy for Insulinoma ferret -2
[Proposal on a diet] 1 Characteristic of insulinoma is written above. To reduce making too much insulin, you need to give energy(sugar) slowly and constantly into the blood. For doing this, it is proposed to use protein which is made into energy inside ferret*s body instead of giving them sugar. If you see the table of nutrition written on package of your ferret*s dried food, you can find it can not be add up to 100%. It is supposed to be carbonhydrate (sugar). Didn*t you think it is strange that you see wheat on ingredient and not seeing carbonhydrate on table of nutrition? To reduce the amount of carbonhydrate, you need to elect the dried food with high protein, but if you do so, the amount of fat will increase. So, we advise you to add protein as supplements. 2 To make energy by time release, it is said to be effective to feed your ferret little by little, several times a day. Snacks must be chosen carefully, also. With the thought written above, snacks made of protein might be good. Be careful to chose snacks which are less in carbonhydrate. 3 If your ferret is old enough to be called senior, you might want to reduce the amount of protein. One of the reason to do so, is digesting protein*s effect on the kidney. Nitrogen in amino acid which compose protein is digested through kidney into urine to go outside of the body. This is ammonia and have effect on kidney when nitrogen changes into ammonia. That is why when your ferret get older, and think about the problem of the kidney, you might want to reduce the amount of protein, though this does not agree to what was written above. 4 Fructose, which is a kind of sugar that does not need insulin to digest, can be used. If insulin is not needed, it is not created, but the glucose level can be increased. We advise you to use protein and fructose in parallel.[information] Let*s think why the attack of hypoglycaemia.Insulinoma is a disease which causes low blood level, but also sudden increase of glucose level may cause insulinoma. This is because when the glucose level increases, brain gives pracreas an order to make insulin to lower the glucose level, and this too much insulin makes cells to absorb glucose, and manage hypoglycaemia. To prevent this, use protein enriched food that is made into glucose by time release, and feed them several times a day which can also make glucose by time release.49. Some people uses sugar for insulinoma, risks are written above. In emergency, you may use gum-syrup or sugar water, but be careful that there are risks like written above.50. Conclusions[Using sugar has a risk to cause an attack of hypoglycaemia, because it suddenly increases glucose which cause to make too much insulin.]51. (point1)52. Carbonhydrate is a important nutrition from the point of view of *human*. Carbonhydrate made of carbon and hydrogen are in many kind of forms and most of the time, it can not be digested because the structure of carbonhydrate is a unity of so many atoms.53. (point2)54. On the other hand, sugar such as glucose is a unity of less atoms, and easily absorbed though intestinal wall as energy. This structure of glucose which is a unity of less atoms, is related to how it is easily absorbed by intestines.55. (point3)56. On the other hand, rice get sweet when you bite. This is because starch(carbonhydrate) changes into glucose using enzyme of saliva. This is the reason of the time to feel hungry is longer if you eat rice, because it takes time to change starch into glucose, little by little. But sugar, which can make energy also, is absorbed quickly, that glucose increases quickly and the body has to work so much at one time. Starch is slowly absorbed and made into glucose that body can work slowly and calmly. Japanese eat agricultural product from the ancient time and need more time to absorb so that their intestines get longer. On the other hand, since ferret*s intestines are very short, they can not absorb and make energy by time release using different kind of nutrition of digesting time. Ferret*s source of calories are protein and fat.57. (point4)58. Sugar which is a connection of two saccharides is easily absorbed though intestines to blood. This makes sudden increase of glucose. This is why sugar can be used as *medicine like usage* at emergency attack of hypoglycaemia.59. (point5)60. Then, what happens when you use sugar? The worst effect of sugar is increasing glucose suddenly. This sudden increase of glucose makes too much insulin. This effect is good effect on one side, but bad effect on one side, also.Insulinoma is a situation, that a tumor in pracreas where it makes insulin and pracreas begins to make too much insulin.61. Inconsistent physiology function occurs, which can be true and false.62. With the condition that there are glucose, brain gives an order to a part of the pracreas where it makes insulin *There comes glucose. Make insulin for cells to absorb*. According to the amount of glucose, more and more orders are transmitted, and more and more insulin are made. Then, glucose will be absorbed to the cells with lots of insulin. If this absorbance is done slowly and continuously, it is not a problem, but absorbance of sugar is done quickly with too much insulin, so that continuous absorbance is unable, because it is done with too much insulin, absorbance is done suddenly, and there are no source of glucose(carbonhydrate etc) left. Even if there are time difference giving them sugar, too much insulin are made every time and absorb suddenly, then same thing happens and hypoglycaemia will occure.63. [Conclusion] 64. Ingestion of sugar increases glucose temporarily, makes too much insulin that causes attack of hypoglycaemia.Same thing happens with human children also. 2 litters of juice contain 15 sticks of sugar. This sugar cause sudden increase of glucose, and then it decreases suddenly. This causes hypoglycaemia and children become lazy, aggressive, and feel restless. This has become a big social problem.65. There are also problems of young people becoming hyperglycaemia. This is because young people drink too much juice and pracreas has to work so much to make insulin, too much work of pracreas makes it overwork that it breaks. This is hyperglycaemia. Fructose is good for hyperglycaemia also, that it does not need insulin to absorb.66. *NARUHESO Fructose* is absorbed by cells without insulin. It does not cause sudden increase or decrease of glucose, it is absorbed by the cell slowly and continuously.67. Since sudden increase or decrease of glucose makes brain disorder, using fructose with adjustment for the aim of not to make brain disorder is useful.
