Type 2 Diabetes Under Stress

Published on Wednesday, 10 September 2008 05:00 from ScienceDaily

Type 2 diabetes is caused by an inability of the beta-cells in the pancreas to produce enough of the hormone insulin to meet the body's needs. Central to this is a loss of beta-cell function and mass as a result of insulin resistance (the inability of cells in the body to respond appropriately to insulin).
