Solution

Question 18)

Type 2 diabetes is a condition where there is insulin resistance to insulin target cells. This causes the pancreatic beta-cells to progressively die. This condition causes increasing insulin resistance and decreased pancreatic beta cell activity. External insulin injections may be required for glucose balance in the body as the disease progresses.

glycogenolysis breaks down glycogen and generates glucose when there is lack of insulin causing hyperglycaemia in type 1 diabetes.

Glucose acts as osmotic diuretic and is secreted in urine. this condition is known as polyuria, most commonly seen in uncontrolled diabetes mellitus.
