ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -In type 2 diabetes, we believe that insulin binds to the receptor normally, but the signal is not sent into the cell, the cells do not take up glucose and the resulting high blood glucose levels cause organ damage over time.

Detailed explanation-2: -Overview. Type 1 diabetes, once known as juvenile diabetes or insulin-dependent diabetes, is a chronic condition. In this condition, the pancreas makes little or no insulin. Insulin is a hormone the body uses to allow sugar (glucose) to enter cells to produce energy.

Detailed explanation-3: -Insulin resistance happens when your body requires a high amount of insulin to manage blood glucose (also known as blood sugar). Insulin resistance is a problem found in people with prediabetes and type 2 diabetes, but it people with type 1 diabetes can become insulin resistant, too.

Detailed explanation-4: -In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas (a small gland behind the stomach) progressively reduces the amount of insulin (the hormone that regulates blood glucose levels) it produces until it stops producing any at all. If the amount of glucose in the blood is too high, it can, over time, seriously damage the body’s organs.
