What is Diabetes??

Thanks @abigail-dantes! I always appreciate your kind words!

You nailed it though. Type 2 is when the pancreas is still producing insulin, but the the cells aren't "listening". In Type 1, the pancreas isn't producing insulin at all, or if it is, it's at an extremely low rate compared to what's needed.

I would love to write about gluconeogenesis, and everything to do with glucose metabolism! The body's ability to synthesize glucose from muscle and Amino Acids is incredible.

Thanks for the idea!

Thank you for your reply @justincottle. I got it now!
Before reading your post I thought there was no production of insulin in both types of diabetes.
Excellent!
:D

I'm glad it helped! Thanks again!
