Answer 9

Cells in muscle, fat and the liver become resistant to insulin, because of this the cells do not take in enough sugar

Question 10

type 2 process step 2

Answer 10

Pancreas doesn’t make enough insulin to keep blood sugar levels within a healthy rang

Question 11

Insulin resistance

Answer 11

A lot of blood sugar enters bloodstream→ pancreas pumps high levels of insulin→ cells stop responding to insulin→ blood sugar stays high which causes pancreas to release more insulin → as result pancreas cannot keep up and blood sugars keep increasing
