    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pancreatic_beta_cell_function

    Pancreatic beta cell function (synonyms G β or, if calculated from fasting concentrations of insulin and glucose, HOMA-Beta or SPINA-GBeta) is one of the preconditions of euglycaemia, i.e. normal blood sugar regulation. It is defined as insulin secretory capacity, i.e. the maximum amount of insulin to be produced by beta cells in a given unit ...

  6. Insulin resistance - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_resistance

    Insulin is a hormone that facilitates the transport of glucose from blood into cells, thereby reducing blood glucose (blood sugar). Insulin is released by the pancreas in response to carbohydrates consumed in the diet. In states of insulin resistance, the same amount of insulin does not have the same effect on glucose transport and blood sugar ...

  7. Insulin signal transduction pathway - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Insulin_signal...

    Insulin is produced by the pancreas in a region called islets of Langerhans. In the islets of Langerhans, there are beta-cells , which are responsible for production and storage of insulin. Insulin is secreted as a response mechanism for counteracting the increasing excess amounts of glucose in the blood.

  9. Diabetes management - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Diabetes_management

    Normally, the pancreas produces insulin in response to high glucose levels in the body to bring the BG levels down. For type 1 diabetics, there will always be a need for insulin injections throughout their life, as the pancreatic beta cells of a type 1 diabetic are not capable of producing sufficient insulin. [32]
