Insulin is a key regulator of the body's metabolism, without this the body can not function properly.
- With having Type 2 diabetes, the body does not respond properly to the insulin that is being released, this condition is known as insulin resistance. The insulin in your body attaches normally to receptors located on the liver and muscle cells . Overtime the pancreas (which produces insulin) begins to not be able to create enough to overcome resistance. The primary goal for diabetics is to regulate their blood glucose (sugar) levels.
