Facts about diabetes
Diabetes is a chronic disease that occurs either when the pancreas does
not produce enough insulin or when the body cannot effectively use the
insulin produced by the pancreas
Primary classifications:
Type 1 diabetes: Complete insulin deficiency due to destruction of beta-
cells in the pancreas
Type 2 diabetes: Characterised by some degree of insulin resistance
and insulin deficiency
Insulin:
• Facilitates uptake of blood sugar into cells
• Inhibits glucose release from the liver
