(A) Explain how type 2 diabetes occurs and the disease's symptoms, Type 2
diabetes is most commonly linked to being overweight and consuming a poor
diet. Blood sugar levels remain high and are not properly regulated.
When blood sugar rises, the pancreas is responsible for producing insulin. The
release of insulin then triggers the liver to take up glucose from the blood and
convert it into glycogen for storage and the muscles and cells to absorb glucose.
,When an individual has type 2 diabetes, the pancreas either does not produce a
sufficient amount of insulin to bring blood sugar levels back down to normal or
the body is resistant to insulin.
The pancreas is overworked from the constant intake of excessive amounts of
glucose. Ans✓✓✓ Type 2 diabetes is most commonly linked to being overweight
