Insulin is necessary for the body to process nutrients (carbohydrates, fats and proteins), and its absence cause high sugar levels in the blood.
Patient was instructed on diabetes. There are 2 types of diabetes. Type I diabetes, the pancreas stops making insulin altogether. Type II diabetes, the body still makes some insulin but it doesn't make enough, or the body can't use it properly.
Patient was instructed on type II diabetes. Some people with type II diabetes can get blood sugar control through diabetes pills. These people do produce some insulin. But it is not enough to keep their blood sugar under control. Type II diabetes can often be controlled by weight loss, sensitive eating, and pills that improve the insulin supply or help it work better.
