Type II DIABETES
By: Haley Day
What is Type II Diabetes?
Type II Diabetes is where the body does not respond properly to insulin, known as insulin resistance. Although insulin can attach normally to receptors on cells certain mechanisms prevent insulin from moving glucose into the cells where it can be used. The pancreas becomes unable to produce enough insulin to overcome resistance. Eventually glucose damages beta cells and reduces insulin production.
