Main characteristics of pancreatic function in healthy individuals versus in diabetic individuals. In heathy individuals, the pancreas responds to hyperglycaemia with insulin secretion aiming to maintain gluco-homeostasis. Diabetes occurs when the pancreas fails to produce insulin, DMT1, insulin-dependent, or when insulin produced is insufficient or unable to produce gluco-homeostasis (DMT1).
