Type 2 diabetes occurs usually in people that are obese because fat build up makes it hard for the insulin to be used properly. Type 2 diabetes can also occur in people that are not obese, but usually in elderly people. There is no cure for type 2 diabetes; however, patients can improve their health by adapting to a healthier lifestyle which includes exercise and a healthier diet. If complications occur, patients may receive diabetes medications and or insulin therapy. Another disease associated with insulin is insulinoma which is a type of tumor. Insulinoma is the most common type of tumors arising from the islets of langerhans. This condition occurs because the secretion of insulin by insulinoma is not properly regulated by glucose and the tumors will consistently secrete insulin causing glucose levels to fall further than normal. As a result patients’ present symptoms of low blood glucose levels are improved by eating. The treatment for this disease is
