31
Stimulation of insulin secretion
**Occurs through glucose-stimulated insulin secretion (GSIS)**
•When blood glucose levels rise, glucose molecules are transported into pancreatic beta cells via glucose
transporters (GLUT2).
• Inside the beta cells, glucose undergoes metabolism through glycolysis, leading to an increase in intracellular
ATP levels.
• This rise in ATP levels triggers the closure of ATP-sensitive potassium channels (KATP channels), depolarising
the cell membrane and leading to the opening of voltage-gated calcium channels.
• The influx of calcium ions (Ca2+) triggers the exocytosis of insulin-containing vesicles, releasing insulin into the
bloodstream, thus promoting the uptake and storage of glucose by cells throughout the body.
32
Autonomic NS regulation of insulin secretion
Sympathetic —> inhibits secretion when low blood glucose levels
Parasympathetic —> stimulated secretion in response to high plasma glucose
33

**Accountability**
*Be open and accountable in all practices, providing clear and honest communication; be culturally sensitive.*
144
Levels of intervention
**Primordial**
*Prevention of risk factors; focuses on preventing the development of risk factors themselves*
**Primary**
*Prevention of disease in high-risk individuals; aims to reduce the incidence of disease*

145
Ottawa Charter
**Strengthen community action**
*Empower communities to take collective responsibility for health.*
**Develop personal skills**
*Enhance individual abilities to make informed health decisions.*
**Create supportive environments**
*Establish environments that promote and sustain health.*
**Reorient health services**
*Shift health services towards prevention and health promotion.*
**Build healthy public policy**
*Advocate for government policies that prioritise health and well-being.*
146
Ethical Approaches
**Consequentialism**
*When making ethical decisions, the main thing to do is to weigh the consequences.*
**Utilitarianism**
*A branch of consequentialism in which an individual attempts to effectuate the greatest good to the greatest number.*
**Deontology**
*Consequences alone do not determine rightness; instead, the rightness of a Deontology action is determined by the action itself and whether it conforms to a moral rule
(e.g. don’t tell lies, don’t steal, keep promises).*
**Virtue Ethics**
*Character, not actions, is the focus of ethics; try and attain a perfect balance of characteristics, such as empathy, depending on the situation.*
147
Paternalism
**The doctor is in total control; opacity is present in communication to keep spirits up**
To be paternalistic (fatherly) is to act for another’s good without regard for their preferences or wishes; it is not
necessarily against their wishes, but without regard for them.
