The cause of this resistance to insulin is unknown, although a reduction in the number of insulin receptors may be the problem.

No, it used to be called insulin-dependent diabetes.


Is type 2 diabetes known as insulin-dependent diabetes?

No. Type 1 diabetes is known as insulin-dependent or juvenile onset diabetes. The causes of type 2 diabetes can either be a lack of insulin sensitivity or insulin production problem. Some people with type 2 diabetes take insulin, but it is not known as insulin-dependent diabetes.

How does diabetes affect homeostasis?

It affects the pancreas. The pancreas is supposed to make insulin, and receptors in the cells in the body are supposed to store glucose in response to the insulin. So if you have diabetes, either the pancreas is not making enough insulin (type 1) or the cells cannot use the insulin (type 2).


What can Diabetes cause?

Type 1 Diabetes is caused when insulin-making cells are destroyed in the pancreas.Type 2 diabetes is caused when there is a lack of insulin available.


What Diseases caused due to deficiency of insulin?

Diseases caused by insulin deficiency include type 1 diabetes, where the body cannot produce insulin, leading to high blood sugar levels; and type 2 diabetes, where the body becomes resistant to the effects of insulin, also resulting in elevated blood sugar levels and potential long-term complications like heart disease and kidney damage. Insulin is crucial for regulating blood sugar levels and its deficiency can have serious consequences on overall health.


Can diabetes be cured with a organ transplant?

Yes it can. There are two types of diabetes, insulin dependant and non insulin dependant. Diabetes ends up affecting the kidney and eventually a kidney transplant will be required. Because diabetes is caused by the insulin production, in the insulin dependant diabetes, often a pancreas and kidney transplant will take place. The pancreas is where the insulin is produced. By replacing the pancreas, insulin production becomes normal and diabetes is cured.
