Detailed explanation-1: -Diabetes is a condition that happens when your blood sugar (glucose) is too high. It develops when your pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin or any at all, or when your body isn’t responding to the effects of insulin properly. Diabetes affects people of all ages.
Detailed explanation-2: -If your pancreas isn’t working the way it should, or your body can’t use the insulin it makes, your blood sugar levels get too high, and you get diabetes. There is a connection between diabetes and other conditions of the pancreas, like pancreatitis or pancreatic cancer.
Detailed explanation-3: -“Anything that damages your pancreas can [cause it to] not make enough insulin, ” said Dr. Setiawan. The result of this damage can be a rare kind of diabetes sometimes called pancreatogenic diabetes or type 3c diabetes.
Detailed explanation-4: -The main function of the pancreas is to maintain healthy blood sugar levels. It is a large gland located behind the stomach. It produces insulin, glucagon, and other hormones. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or when the body does not use insulin properly (called insulin resistance).
Detailed explanation-5: -In type 2 diabetes, the pancreas makes insulin, but the cells don’t respond to it as they should. This is called insulin resistance. When glucose can’t get into cells, the blood sugar level rises. Then the pancreas works harder to make even more insulin.
