Illustration of Type I Diabetes,defined by the insufficient production of insulin (blue triangles). Insulin works with the body to control the levels of glucose (yellow dots),which,as shown here,is in excess when insulin is insufficient. Uncontrolled glucose can then damage vital body organs and tissues. Also shown in the diagram are glucose transporters (GLUT-4),and the insulin receptors | |
