|
|
insufficient amount of insulin is produced by the pancreas
|
|
|
the insulin produced is not being used effectively by the cells
|
|
|
calcium is not able to move the insulin into the cells for sugar regulation
|
|
|
no insulin is being produced by the pancreas

Detailed explanation-1: -If muscles fail to use glucose it can lead to excessive sugar levels in the blood and a condition called diabetes. Within muscle cells are stores of calcium that signal the muscle to contract. Changes in calcium levels enhance the uptake of glucose that fuel these contractions.
Detailed explanation-2: -Abnormal regulation of intracellular calcium affecting both insulin sensitivity and insulin release has been suggested as a potential mechanism to explain the putative association between calcium insufficiency and risk of diabetes (29, 30).
Detailed explanation-3: -When levels of blood sugar, or glucose, rise, it is efficiently taken up by beta-cells. Within the cells, glucose initiates a chain of molecular events that lead to calcium channel opening, allowing more calcium ions to flow into the beta-cells. Calcium ions stimulate insulin release to the blood.
