Understanding Insulin: Its Crucial Role in Glucose Regulation and Its Connection to Type 2 Diabetes

What occurs as a result of an inadequate secretion of insulin?

Increased fat breakdown leads to ketonemia.

An inadequate secretion of insulin results in an increased concentration of glucose in the bloodstream. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that facilitates the uptake and utilization of glucose by cells. When insulin secretion is inadequate, the cells become resistant to insulin, and glucose is unable to enter the cells. This leads to an accumulation of glucose in the bloodstream, which can cause various complications such as hyperglycemia, damage to blood vessels, and nerve damage. Over time, inadequate insulin secretion can lead to the development of type 2 diabetes.
