Which organ’s disfunction causes diabetes?

Question

Accepted Answer

Pancreas. Pancreas disfunction causes diabetes by affecting the amount of insulin the body produces. Insulin is normally secreted by the beta cells (a type of islet cell) of the pancreas. The stimulus for insulin secretion is a high blood glucose. Although there is always a low level of insulin secreted by the pancreas, the amount secreted into the blood increases as the blood glucose rises.
