ANATOMY

Detailed explanation-1: -Type 2 diabetes is mainly the result of two problems: Cells in muscle, fat and the liver become resistant to insulin As a result, the cells don’t take in enough sugar. The pancreas can’t make enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels within a healthy range.

Detailed explanation-2: -Most people who develop type 2 diabetes first have insulin resistance, a condition in which the body’s cells use insulin less efficiently than normal. As insulin resistance develops, more and more insulin is needed to keep blood sugar levels in the normal range.

Detailed explanation-3: -Type 2 diabetes is characterized by a combination of peripheral insulin resistance and inadequate insulin secretion by pancreatic beta cells.

Detailed explanation-4: -Type 2 diabetes is also called type 2 diabetes mellitus and adult-onset diabetes. That’s because it used to start almost always in middle-and late-adulthood.

Detailed explanation-5: -Over time, though, insulin resistance tends to get worse, and the pancreatic beta cells that make insulin can wear out. Eventually, the pancreas no longer produces enough insulin to overcome the cells’ resistance. The result is higher blood glucose levels, and ultimately prediabetes or type 2 diabetes.
