Question

True or False: In Type 2 Diabetes, the body isn't producing enough insulin or the insulin the body produces isn't working correctly

Answer 1

With type 2 diabetes, the body still makes insulin. But a person with type 2 diabetes doesn't respond normally to the insulin the body makes. So glucose is less able to enter the cells and do its job of supplying energy.

When glucose can't enter the cells in this way, doctors call it insulin resistance.
