A member asked:
What stimulates insulin release? what goes wrong in patients with diabetes?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Insulin & Diabetes.: Glucose entering the blood from the stomach triggers release of insulin from the pancreas. In type 1 diabetes, people lack insulin. In type 2 diabetes, people are resistant to insulin; their insulin levels are actually higher than normal because of the body's resistance to it.
