Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Type 2 diabetes is characterized by insulin resistance, which means that the body's cells are less responsive to insulin's actions, resulting in high levels of glucose in the blood. This differs from type 1 diabetes, which is characterized by a lack of insulin production. Glucagon is a hormone that raises blood sugar levels and is not directly related to type 2 diabetes. Hypoglycemia is a condition of low blood sugar, which is the opposite of what occurs in type 2 diabetes.
