A 50-year-old woman with diabetes may still produce insulin, depending on the type and progression of her diabetes.
-
Type 1 Diabetes: a. Typically involves little to no insulin production due to immune system attacks on insulin-producing cells.
-
Type 2 Diabetes: a. Often involves insulin resistance. b. The pancreas may still produce insulin, sometimes in higher amounts initially. c. Over time, insulin production can decrease.
