- - - - without it proper balance of hormones do not get fed
        
        pancreas produces and stores 2 hormones that play major role in glucose metabolism
        
        glucagon and insulin
        
        small portion of pancreas is filled with langerhans
        
        within islets alpha and beta cells
        
        alapha cells

  - - - allows glucose to be stored in form of glycogen in liver and skeletal muscles
- - - - causes impaired ability to get glucose into the cells to be used for energy
        
        has either impaired insulin production or not enough functional receptors
        
        not enough functional receptors on the surface of the cells for insulin to bind to
        
        glucose cannot get into cell and goes unfed
        
        level of glucose in the blood remains high and continues to rise
    - - without insulin cells begin to starve because insulin is needed to allow glucose to enter and nourish cells
  - - - blindness
        
        cardiovascular disease
        
        kidney failure
  - - - diabetes mellitus type 2
        
        pregnancy induces diabetes gestational diabetes
  - - - state in which the blood glucose level is below normal
- - - - hormones are chemical substances produced by gland
        
        hormones travel through blood to end organs, tissues, or cells
        
        when hormone arrives to cell, tissue, or organ receives the message and an action or cellular process
    - - if a gland is not functioning normally it may produce more hormone this is needed or it may not produce enough hormone it is called hypersecretion
        
        Hyposecretion: a gland may be functioning correctly but the receiving organ may not be responding
        
        receiving organ is less responsive to amount of hormone that it would take to initiate an action or cellular response under normal circumstances
