Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Children with type-2 diabetes still produce insulin, but their bodies cannot effectively use it. This is known as insulin resistance, which causes high blood sugar levels. The immune system is not involved in the development of type-2 diabetes, and the liver does not remove all glucose from the bloodstream. Sensitivity to sugar does not explain the development of this condition.
