Epigenetics of diabetes Type 2 apoptosis in cells upregulating this gene and renal complications when DAG binds to the product of the UNC13B gene. The production of fat hinders the ability for muscles and other cells in the body to respond properly to glucose and insulin, furthering the complications involved with diabetes. Increased levels of fat in the body and blood raises blood pressure, increases cholesterol, and causes arteriosclerosis; all of which are severely dangerous vascular complications for patients suffering from diabetes and can lead to death.
