The pancreas is supposed to make insulin, glucagon, and enzymes. When you become a diabetic, either the pancreas stops making insulin, or the cells in the body are unable to use insulin. If the pancreas stops making insulin, that is type one Diabetes, and if the body cannot use insulin, that is type two diabetes. While it is possible to cause type one diabetes with alcohol abuse, both forms of diabetes are often a result of an immune response. Type one diabetes is usually childhood onset, and a virus or the immune system attacks the pancreas. Type two diabetes is often acquired through bad diet. You might get so much fat and plaques from the fat that the body mistakes it for invaders. So the body ends up targeting insulin receptors.

Can one live with partial pancreas?
The pancreas is what produces insulin in your body. Insulin is a chemical in your body that breaks down the sugars in the food you eat. A persons pancreas can shut down or not work properly, this is commonly associated with Diabetes. Diabetes is a health problem where the pancreas has either shut down or does not produce enough insulin to break down all the sugars. So the answer is yes, but you'd have to live on insulin shots or pills.
Diabetes mellitus is a disorder of what?
Diabetes mellitus occurs when the pancreas doesn't make enough or any of the hormone insulin, or when the insulin produced doesn't work effectively. In diabetes, this causes the level of glucose in the blood to be too high.
What occurs in the body with type II diabetes?
In Type II diabetes, the pancreas may produce enough insulin, however, cells have become resistant to the insulin produced and it may not work as effectively
How does the body usually control the temperature and sugar and blood levels?

How does the body work and regulate insulin and glycagon?
The body regulates insulin by either not making it in the pancreas or making it. It filters Glycogen (glucose) by either filtering your blood in the liver and removing it if there is too much or making it. You get it from eating sugar. Hope this helps =)
The disease in which there is an insulin deficiency is?
Diabetes. Type 1 diabetes is where your pancreas doesn't work pretty much at all, and type 2 is when you are over weight and don't exercise and you have to take small amounts of insulin or pills to keep it under control.
How do exenatides work?
Exenatide mimics incretins, which are hormones that promote the release of insulin from the pancreas when glucose is present. It also lowers the secretion of glucagon during episodes of hyperglycemia.
How do you get help for Polycycstic Ovarian Syndrome?
PCOS is connected to insulin resistance. When a person eats a lot of sugar or carbohydrates (which is basically a long chain of glucose molecules hooked together), the body had to work hard to handle the sugar by producing insulin. Eventually the cells in their body becomes insensitive to the effects of the insulin (insulin resistance). To handle this problem of insulin resistance their body begins to produce even higher levels of insulin. This continues until their pancreas reaches the maximum amount of insulin it can produce, and when the insulin resistance increases again, their blood sugar begins to rise out of control. This effects the glands as they are a communication system on to the other and effects the ovaries. You can read more at www.mcvitamins.com/pcos.htm
How does insulin affect the way cells work?
It effects the bodies ability to cope with sugar. When diabetics start taking synthetic insulin, the pancreas stops producing it on its' own and will never produce it in the same way again. That person will then always rely on injections and synthetic chemicals.
