Study Notes
- Insulin resistance is when the body's cells do not respond properly to insulin, which can lead to high blood sugar.
- Beta cell dysfunction is when the pancreas does not produce enough insulin or the insulin it produces is not effective.
- Both of these factors can contribute to the development of type 2 diabetes.
- The question is asking about the causes of type 2 diabetes, and insulin resistance and beta cell dysfunction are two of the causes mentioned.
- Great job understanding the information! Can you explain in more detail the mechanisms of these two causes?
