Reply to How does the body get rid of excess insulin? by [deleted]

Insulin has a lifetime of about 5-6 minutes in the bloodstream - it is degraded by the insulin-sensitive tissues and also by the liver.

If somebody has insulin resistance or type 2 diabetes, they have hyperinsulinemia. This is because their body is constantly producing excess insulin because their liver is producing excess glucose.

Reply to comment by OverJohn in If an object is placed at the end of of a VERY long bar that is connected to an axel, Could rotating the bar close to the axel make the object at the other move extremely fast (like light speed)? by Swade060504

Nice explanation. If an object (like a very long steel rod) could be infinitely rigid, you could communicate information faster than the speed of light, which is obviously not gonna happen.
