Solution

  • The pancreas keeps the equilibrium of blood glucose (sugar) in the body. Insulin and glucagon are the primary hormones of the pancreas, and both control blood glucose.
  • Diabetes is the most prevalent pancreatic disease. The pancreas is unique in being both an endocrine gland and an exocrine gland. In other words, the pancreas has the dual function of secreting hormones through ducts (exocrine) into the blood (endocrine) and secreting enzymes.
  • Diabetes is the most well-known of all pancreatic diseases and disorders. Type 1 diabetes: If you have type 1 diabetes, your body will not generate insulin to treat your body's glucose.
  • Insulin deficiency creates a variety of complications, so individuals with type 1 diabetes need to take insulin to properly assist their body use glucose.Diabetes type 2: Diabetes type 2 is much more common than diabetes type 1. People with type 2 diabetes may be able to make insulin, but it is not used properly by their bodies.
  • They may also be unable to make enough insulin to manage their body's glucose. Lifestyle decisions, like diet and exercise, play an important part in the management and prevention of type 2 diabetes.
