Brief description Type 2 diabetes is associated with reduced levels of the hormone insulin that results in an increase in blood sugar. Evidence suggests that when the cells that make insulin are overworked they fail to produce the right amount of this hormone to keep blood sugar levels normal. In this proposal we will determine how overworking the insulin producing cells damages them and assess whether reducing the need to overwork is beneficial and thus lead to reduced blood sugar levels in Type 2 diabetes.
