Diabetes mellitus is a condition in which a person is no longer able to maintain a normal blood sugar level. There are two types of diabetes. Type 1 diabetes occurs when a person's body is no longer able to produce insulin. Type 2 diabetes occurs when a person's body no longer responds normally to insulin. If a person is no longer able to produce insulin, how does this affect а. blood sugar levels? b. One treatment for Type 1 diabetes is daily injections of insulin. How does this help the condition? С. Would insulin injections help Type 2 diabetes? Why or why not?
