PATHOLOGY

Detailed explanation-1: -Insulin works in tandem with glucagon, another hormone produced by the pancreas. While insulin’s role is to lower blood sugar levels if needed, glucagon’s role is to raise blood sugar levels if they fall too low.

Detailed explanation-2: -Type 2 diabetes occurs when the pancreas, a large gland behind the stomach, can’t produce enough insulin to control your blood glucose level, or when the cells in your body don’t respond properly to the insulin that is produced. This means your blood glucose levels may become very high, and is known as hyperglycaemia.

Detailed explanation-3: -Hyperinsulinemia (hi-pur-in-suh-lih-NEE-me-uh) means the amount of insulin in the blood is higher than what’s considered healthy. On its own, hyperinsulinemia isn’t diabetes. But hyperinsulinemia often is associated with type 2 diabetes. Insulin is a hormone that the pancreas makes.
