Diabetes, drawing


Illustration of type 1 diabetes. Beta cells in the islets of Langerhans in the pancreas produce insulin (yellow), which allows glucose to be absorbed by the cells. In the case of type 1 diabetes, insulin is not produced. Cells don’t absorb the glucose, lack sugar to function and blood sugar levels increase.
