What is the pathophysiology of diabetes?
Can you explain the pathophysiology of diabetes to me?
Of course. Diabetes is a disease characterized by high blood sugar levels due to insulin dysfunction. Insulin is a hormone produced by the pancreas that helps regulate blood sugar levels. In type 1 diabetes, the pancreas doesn't produce enough insulin, while in type 2 diabetes, the body becomes resistant to insulin. This results in the inability of the body to regulate blood sugar levels properly and can lead to various complications.
