Type 2 diabetes
Biology · Secondary 4 · Medium · Type 2 diabetes
In type 2 diabetes, a person’s blood glucose level often remains high for a long time after meals. Which statement best explains this?
- Body cells respond poorly to insulin, so less glucose is taken up from the blood.
- The pancreas stops producing glucagon, so blood glucose cannot rise.
- Digestive enzymes stop breaking down carbohydrates, so no glucose is formed.
- The kidneys excrete all glucose immediately after it is formed.
