Diabetes Diabetes is a metabolic disorder where the body is unable to regulate levels of<unk>  in the blood either because of a lack of insulin in the body or the failure, by cells in the body, to respond properly to insulin. Each of these situations can be caused by persistently high elevations of blood<unk>  levels, through pancreatic burnout and insulin resistance. The pancreas is the organ responsible for the secretion of the hormones insulin and<unk> cagon. Insulin is a hormone that regulates<unk>  levels, allowing the body's cells to absorb and use<unk> . Without it,<unk>  cannot enter the cell and therefore cannot be used as fuel for the body's functions. If the pancreas is exposed to persistently high elevations of blood<unk>  levels, the insulin-producing cells in the pancreas could be damaged, causing a lack of insulin in the body. Insulin resistance occurs when the pancreas tries to produce more and more insulin in response to persistently elevated blood<unk>  levels. Eventually, the rest of the body becomes resistant to the insulin that the pancreas is producing, thereby requiring more insulin to achieve the same blood<unk> -lowering effect, and forcing the pancreas to produce even more insulin to compete with the resistance. This negative spiral contributes to pancreatic burnout, and the disease progression of diabetes. To monitor the body's response to blood<unk> -lowering therapy,<unk>  levels can be measured. Blood<unk>  monitoring can be performed by multiple methods, such as the fasting<unk>  test which measures the level of<unk>  in the blood after 8 hours of fasting. Another test is the 2-hour<unk>  tolerance test <unk> TT)for this test, the person has a fasting<unk>  test done, then drinks a 75-gram<unk>  drink and is retested. This test measures the ability of the person's body to process<unk> . Over time the blood<unk>  levels should decrease as insulin allows it to be taken up by cells and exit the blood stream.
