Oral antidiabetic agent metformin and glyburide have shown efficacy with no evidence of harm to the foetus, although long-term safety remains a concern (28.) When comparing to two, metformin was a 2.1 times higher failure rate than glyburide. Metformin works by decreasing the amount of glucose the liver makes, keeping blood sugar levels low and boosting insulin response. Although metformin does cross the placenta and enter the baby’s bloodstream, the amount is small. Studies have not found evidence to suggest that metformin harms the fetus.…

    Every three Oreo cookies consumed transports 25 grams of glucose into the body. This glucose enters into our bloodstream for support in energy and its storage. One of the main responsibilities of the endocrine system is to maintain homeostasis of blood composition by regulating ions, glucose, and amino acids that dissolve within blood plasma. Therefore, the 25 grams of glucose from the Oreos is dissolved within the bloodstream, which triggers the pancreas to aid in the consumption of the simple carbohydrates. Normal glucose concentration levels in the blood are set to be between the ranges of 70 and 110 milligrams per deciliter.…
