does the pancreas produce insulin
The pancreas is an organ near the stomach, which produces a hormone called insulin. With the help of insulin, the body's cells take up the glucose and use it for energy. When your body does not produce enough insulin and/or does not efficiently use the insulin it produces, sugar levels rise in the bloodstream.ype 1 Diabetes Type 1 diabetes is a serious condition that occurs when the pancreas makes little or no insulin. Without insulin, the body is unable to take the glucose (blood sugar) it gets from food into cells to fuel the body.
