Evidence supporting the use of: Insulin
For the body system: Glandular System
Synopsis
Source of validity: Scientific
Rating (out of 5): 5
Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that plays a critical role in regulating blood glucose levels. Its use to support the glandular system, specifically the pancreas, is strongly justified by scientific evidence. Insulin therapy is the cornerstone of treatment for individuals with type 1 diabetes, in whom pancreatic beta cells fail to produce sufficient insulin. It is also used in some cases of type 2 diabetes when endogenous insulin production is insufficient or when oral medications are not effective. The role of insulin in the glandular system is well established through decades of clinical research and practice. Insulin directly replaces or supplements the hormonal function of pancreatic beta cells, thereby supporting the normal endocrine (glandular) function of glucose metabolism. There is no significant tradition of using insulin before its discovery and isolation in the early 20th century; its use is based on clear scientific understanding of the pathophysiology of diabetes and the mechanisms of hormonal regulation by the pancreas. Randomized controlled trials, observational studies, and clinical guidelines universally support insulin’s use for glandular (endocrine) dysfunction related to diabetes, making it one of the most scientifically validated interventions in endocrinology.
