What Organ Controls Diabetes?

...

Repeat Offender	Organs don't control diabetes. Organs make music in church.

Doris D	Your pancres either quits making insulin as in Type 1 or doesn't make enough as in Type 2

BAR	it is more of a whole system thing. Different parts can fail or cause problems. In the end it would be the pancreas

wild&free	I think the Pancrease has the most control over diabetes. It makes and secretes insulin which a diabetic lacks. I have heard of diabetics who had a Pancrease transplant and then they weren't diabetic anymore. Hope this helps.

jojo8	The organ is the pancreas, when the islet cells in the pancreas don't produce insulin any longer is what causes diabetes.

rhsaunders	Diabetes arises from a failure of the pancreas to produce insulin.

trytohelp	it is basically caused by cells not working properly in the pancreas. either these cells don't produce insulin correctly, or your body doesn't respond to the insulin. so it can be due to other organs, but stems from the pancreas or your body's inability to use the insulin from the pancreas.

jackie s	Diabetes is caused by the body's inability to regulate blood glucose. and failure of the pancreas to produce insulin.

mary	It would be the pancreas.Actually I think its a gland.Inside the pancreas are cells called the Islets Of Langerhans. They produce insulin. If you don't get enough insulin your system starts shutting down.That's what causes diabetes.

GEEGEE	The pancreas for the most part, but also the liver.

mathwiz1	The pancreas is the organ that contains the Alpha-Islet cells, also more commonly known as the Islets of Langerhans, which secrete insulin which is the enzyme responsible for lowering blood sugar, and beta-islet cells which are responsible for secreting proteins and enzymes responsible for causing the liver to convert stored reserves of glycogen in the liver into glucose to raise the blood sugar level to a normal level if the blood glucose level is below normal.
