Illustration of insulin and glucose production in Type 2 diabetes. Insulin (purple triangles) is produced by islet cells in the pancreas,and acts in unison with glucose (red dots) to regulate energy in the body's cells. In Type 2 Diabetes,as shown here,the body develops high blood glucose levels due to insulin resistance or relative insulin deficiency. Also shown in the diagram are glucose transporters (GLUT-4),and the insulin receptors | |
