Answer 1

In Type II diabetes, target cells can resist the effects of insulin, too much insulin can be produced, and too little insulin can be produced.

Step-by-step explanation:

In Type II diabetes, the following can occur:

• Target cells resist the effects of insulin: This means that even though insulin is produced, the cells do not respond to it effectively and do not take up glucose from the bloodstream.
• Too much insulin is produced: In some cases, the body produces excess insulin in an attempt to compensate for the resistance, but the target cells still do not respond properly.
• Too little insulin is produced: In other cases, the body may not produce enough insulin, leading to increased blood sugar levels.
