Insulin resistance is when your tissues no longer adequately respond to insulin to lower blood glucose levels. Glucose is the sugar molecule your body uses for energy. Insulin is produced by beta ...
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 ...
When they’re destroyed, the pancreas can no longer make insulin and blood sugar rises. Type 1 diabetes only makes up about five to ten percent of diabetes diagnoses. It can take months or years ...

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 ...
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.

Type 1 diabetes, also described as insulin dependent diabetes, is an autoimmune disease that destroys insulin-producing cells in the pancreas, preventing the body from producing enough insulin. It ...
